  • Patent number: 7964838
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a photosensitive circuit comprising a photosensitivity unit, a capacitance and a switch unit. The photosensitivity unit is capable of receiving a received light, and the capacitance is capable of storing a photoelectric current corresponding to the received light. The switch unit is used to respectively provide the positive voltage of the capacitance to a comparison unit at a first time period, and the negative voltage of the capacitance to a comparison unit at a second time period. The comparison unit outputs a detection value according to the positive voltage and the negative voltage of the capacitance, the detection value is related to the distance between an object and the photosensitive circuit. The present invention further disclose a photosensitive chip to drive a luminescent unit to provide a detective light. The photosensitive chip comprises a sampling clock generator, the ambient light sensor unit, a proximity sensor unit and a driving clock generator.

  • Publication number: 20100040377
    Abstract: A optical sensing module based on signals having pulse width modulation and a method thereof are disclosed for sensing a light source and providing an output signal having pulse width modulation. The optical sensing module comprises an optical sensor, a signal processing unit, and a duty cycle modulation unit. The signal processing unit provides a modulation control signal based on a sensing signal generated by sensing the light source from the optical sensor in conjunction with a gain control signal. The duty cycle modulation unit modulates the duty cycle of the pulse width modulation input signal to generate the pulse width modulation output signal based on the modulation control signal. The duty cycle difference between the duty cycle of the input signal and the duty cycle of the output signal is proportional to the intensity difference between the light source and a reference light source.
