Abstract: In a solid-state image sensor in which an arbiter arbitrates a request, a failure point is identified. A plurality of pixels generates a request for requesting transmission of a predetermined detection signal, in a case where a predetermined event is detected. A test circuit outputs the request of each of the plurality of pixels as an output request in a case where a test is not instructed, and generates a plurality of new requests and outputs each as the output request in a case where the test is instructed. The arbiter arbitrates the output request. A communication circuit transmits the detection signal on the basis of an arbitration result of the arbiter. A failure determination unit determines whether or not the arbiter has a failure on the basis of the detection signal in a case where the test is instructed.

Abstract: Extension devices such as upstream facing port devices (UFP devices) and downstream facing port devices (DFP devices) connect via an extension medium. When a UFP device and a DFP device pair with each other, DisplayPort video and/or audio information from a DisplayPort source device can be presented by a DisplayPort sink device, which are coupled to the UFP device and DFP device, respectively. In some embodiments, the DFP device may train a DisplayPort link to the DisplayPort sink device regardless of whether it is receiving actual data from a UFP device, and may provide placeholder data to the DisplayPort sink device in order to keep the link active. The DFP device may then replace the placeholder data with the actual data from the UFP device, once received, and may thereby seamlessly switch the DisplayPort sink device from presenting placeholder data to presenting data from the DisplayPort source device.
