Abstract:

A common operational amplifier for a pipeline circuit is provided. The common operational amplifier is used by the stage circuits of the pipeline circuit by turns according to a predetermined timing. The common operational amplifier comprises an operational amplifier circuit, a multiplexer circuit and a demultiplexer circuit. The multiplexer circuit is provided for selecting a signal set of a stage circuit to be amplified to couple to the operational amplifier circuit, and the demultiplexer circuit is provided for transmitting the amplified signal set to the corresponding stage circuit.

Abstract:

A hand-held device having a display and a browser application which supports functionality particularly suited for the hand-held device. For example, the browser application supports a full screen tag which allows information to be displayed as a full screen within the display. The browser application may also support a tag for use in displaying a link the activation of which will cause the hand-held device to transmit command codes to a consumer appliance. Still further, the browser application can support a tag which the hand-held device can use to issue reminders.

US Classification:

2502081, 250214 R, 2502141, 348 30

Abstract:

A frame shuttered CMOS image sensor with simultaneous array readout. An array of CMOS pixels are printed on a silicon substrate. Within each pixel is a light sensitive region comprising a photo sensitive diode for converting photons into electrical charge and at least three transistors to permit reading of reset electrical charges and collected electrical charges and for re-setting the photosensitive diode. The sensor includes an array of signal and re-set readout capacitors located on the substrate but outside of the pixel array. Metal conductors printed in said substrate connect each pixel in said pixel array with a signal capacitor and a re-set capacitor in array of signal and re-set readout capacitors. Transistor switches printed in said substrate but outside of said pixel array are used to isolate the signal and re-set capacitors from each other and from the pixels. Control circuitry is provided for re-setting simultaneously each of the pixels in the pixel array, for collecting simultaneously re-set signals from each pixel on to one of the reset capacitors in the array of readout capacitors and for collecting simultaneously integrated pixel signals from each pixel on to one of the signal capacitors in the array of readout capacitors.

US Classification:

327 94, 327 92, 327 93

Abstract:

A circuit and method thereof for sampling/holding signal is provided. The signal sampling/holding circuit comprises a first signal sampling/holding device, a second signal sampling/holding device, a target signal and a reference voltage. First, the first signal sampling/holding device is supplied with the reference voltage and the target signal. The reference voltage is disconnected from the first signal sampling/holding device before the target signal is. Similarly, the reference voltage is disconnected from the second signal sampling/holding device before the target signal is. Thus the target signal is respectively sampled and held in the first signal sampling/holding device and the second signal sampling/holding device.

International Classification:

US Classification:

348302, 341120, 341163

Abstract:

A column parallel image sensor such as an active pixel sensor includes a calibration circuit for the readout circuit within the active pixel sensor. The calibration circuit produces a value that is stored and used to offset any noise in the A/D converter. The calibration is carried out each time that each row is read out so in effect the calibration's individual for each pixel. Hence, any noise within the calibration evens out within the image, and is effectively random within the image and hence becomes less noticeable within the image.

Assignee:

Forza Silicon - Pasadena CA

International Classification:

G01J 1/44
H01L 27/146

US Classification:

250214R, 257443

Abstract:

A chip device with a number of individually powered parts, such as photoreceptors. A mesh is provided to provide power to the individual photoreceptors. The mesh may be provided for ground and power and/or both. The mesh may be on different layers, so that one portion of the mesh is exactly over the other portion of the mesh. The mesh takes up a portion of real estate on the chip in between the individual photoreceptors, in locations where image sensing parts cannot be located. In an embodiment, the mesh can be intentionally broken at various locations to optimize the path length.
