  • Patent number: 8698067
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a detection system for detecting movement of a movable object. The detection system comprises a light source (S) for emitting light, a reflecting unit (8) being arranged in functional connection with the movable object (6) and being adapted for reflecting the emitted light, at least one detector (D1 to D4) for detecting the reflected light and outputting detection signals for determining the movement of the movable object, an analogue-to-digital converter which includes at least one current source for obtaining a digital signal, and a common mode controller for outputting at least one common mode signal for controlling the at least one current source, wherein the digital signal which is indicative of the movement of the movable object in a predetermined direction being based on the output signal of the at least one detector and the at least one common mode signal.

  • Patent number: 6664798
    Abstract: Integrated circuit with a test interface for testing a conductive connection between a supply pad and a supply of a functional block in the integrated circuit. A current test circuit has test inputs coupled to a first and a second point along the conductive connection, for comparing a voltage across the test inputs with a threshold. The current test circuit contains a threshold shifting circuit for shifting the threshold to a shifted value dependent on a voltage across the test inputs when the threshold shifting circuit is active. Testing is executed in two steps, making the threshold shifting circuit active when a first voltage is applied across test inputs and comparing a second voltage at the test input with the shifted threshold. One of the first and second voltage is a voltage drop across the connection when the integrated circuit is set to draw current along a connection, the other one of the first and second voltage is a reference voltage.
