摘要： A resistor-ladder voltage generator circuit is provided, which controls so that k switches among consecutive (k+1) switches out of a plurality of switches connected to the resistor ladder circuit are simultaneously set to an ON state, and which temporally switches the value of k. This allows voltage waveforms having different slopes to be arbitrarily obtained, ranging from a voltage waveform having a small slope to a voltage waveform having a large slope, thereby improving the resolution of a generated voltage waveform without increasing the numbers of resistors and switches, while A/D conversion time is not increased even if the number of bits is increased. In addition, by using this voltage generator circuit as a ramp generator circuit, and by dynamically switching the slope of the ramp wave, acceleration of an image sensor is achieved.

摘要： A receiving circuit comprises a transimpedance amplifier 3 including an inversion amplifier 2 for amplifying an input current IN, and a feedback resistance R1 connected between an input and an output of the inversion amplifier 2, a comparison circuit 4 for comparing an output OUT of the transimpedance amplifier 3 with a certain desired reference value, and outputting a result of the comparison, and a control circuit for holding the comparison result, and generating an AGC signal 20 for adjusting a gain of the transimpedance amplifier 3. The transimpedance amplifier 20 has a function capable of gain adjustment in accordance with the input AGC signal 20. The control circuit 5 performs gain adjustment until the output OUT of the transimpedance amplifier 3 exceeds the reference value so that an appropriate gain is obtained. Therefore, even when an input has a wide dynamic range, it is possible to prevent signal saturation and a distortion in output waveform in the transimpedance amplifier, so that appropriate reception can be invariably performed and a signal having a stable duty can be output.

摘要： In a current comparison type latch, during a reset mode of the current comparison type latch where the clock signal is at the “L” level, transistors which are disposed along the current path extending from the high potential power supply line to the low potential power supply line are turned OFF while transistors which connect the high potential power supply line to two output terminals are turned ON, so as to bring the potential of each of the two output terminals to a logic level (the “H” level or the “L” level), thereby preventing a through current from flowing from the high potential power supply line to the low potential power supply line. Therefore, a high-speed and high-precision current comparison is made while reducing the through current during a reset mode.
