摘要： The present invention reduces automatic gain control (AGC) transients using first and second AGC processing branches to receive a signal. A gain is selectively adjusted (if desired) in the one of the AGC processing branches during a first time period. However, a gain is not adjusted in the other AGC processing branch during that first time period. The signals generated by the first and second AGC processing branches are then diversity processed to generate a received signal. The diversity processing effectively reduces the effect of any AGC transient.

摘要： The variable gain analog-to-digital conversion device (1) for an image sensor comprises at least one N-bit non-linear coarse first converter (21) receiving a pixel voltage signal (Vpix) and at least one M-bit linear fine second converter (22) connected to the first converter (21) in order for the device to supply a binary word of NnullM bits relating to the voltage level of the pixel. The first converter (21) comprises comparison means (33) for comparing the voltage level of the pixel with one or more voltage thresholds (V0 to V4) delimiting voltage ranges within the voltage dynamic range of the sensor. The successive voltage ranges represent areas of illumination of the pixel ranging from a weakly lit area to a strongly lit area. The first comparator supplies an N-bit binary word relating to the area of illumination determined for the pixel. The second converter comprises conversion adaptation means for converting the voltage pixel signal to a number of bits less than or equal to M, depending on the N-bit binary word from the first converter.

摘要： An analog-to-digital (A/D) converter suitable for use with redundant signed digit (RSD) coverter stages is provided with an out-of-range (OOR) detection circuit. If an out-of-range input signal is detected, the detection circuit identifies the OOR condition so that the converter can take remedial action. Examples of remedial action may include adjusting the gain of one or more converter stages, adjusting the analog input signal provided to one or more converter stages, and/or adjusting the digital output of the converter to reflect the OOR condition. The ORR detection circuit may receive its input from a converter stage that is distinct from the stage providing the most significant bit (MSB) of the digital output to preserve the resolution of the most significant bit.

摘要： A digitizer suitable for digitizing input signals having a high dynamic range. The digitizer is microprocessor controlled and comprises an input stage, a multi-channel attenuator or amplifier bank, a multiplexer and a analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. The function of the multi-channel bank is to move the input signal within the range of the A/D converter. The input signal to be digitized is fed through the input stage to each of the channels in the attenuator bank. The signal is scaled by each respective channel in the attenuator bank. The multiplexer is used to switch the scaled signal which is within the range of the A/D converter for digitizing. The digitized sample is then corrected according to the attenuation or gain factor of the scaled channel. The digitizer includes a comparator bank which is used to determine the channel with the widest signal range within the range of the A/D converter. The digitizer also includes a channel calibrator for calibrating the actual gain or attenuation of each channel. In another aspect, the digitizer can be implemented using an optical front-end comprising an optical beam splitter, optical attenuators and amplifier banks. The optical front-end provides improved noise immunity and faster speed of operation.

摘要： An acquisition device for digitizing highly dynamic signals. After amplification in a fixed gain amplifier, the signals are applied to a sample and hold unit, the output of which is connected to an analog-to-digital converter to which a variable reference voltage is applied. This reference voltage is available at the output of a multiplexer to the inputs of which voltages are applied derived from sub-divisions of a calibrated voltage. The choice of the reference voltage is effected by a logic assembly as a function of the comparisons made by comparators between the sampled voltage and the derived voltages. The digitized signals are represented by a digital word from the converter and a digital word of gain G from the logic assembly.
