Abstract: An apparatus (20) for recording a color image, comprises an image sensor (22) having a plurality of pixels (24) formed in a monolithic substrate. Each of the plurality of pixels (24) includes three floating gate semiconductor devices (80, 82, 84). A color tunable filter (30) is positioned between a photosensitive semiconductor device (86) and an electromagnetic radiation source. A FET transistor (130) has a drain (134) connected to the cathode (120) of the photodiode (86), and a source (136) connected to the anode (118) of the photodiode (86) and to control gates (94, 104, 114) of each of the three floating gate semiconductor devices (80, 82, 84). The color tunable filter (30) allows all desired combinations of colors to pass while each of the three floating gate semiconductor devices (80, 82, 84) are respectively selected to store the color image.

Abstract: A single counter dual modulus frequency divider apparatus (400) utilizes a programmable divider (508) configured to receive an RF input signal at the divider system input (500) and a modulus control (516) produced by a programmable counter (510). The modulus control (516) sets a divide value of the programmable divider (508) to produce a divided signal at a programmable divider output (514). A switch (512) is configured to receive a first program instruction at the first program instruction input (504) and a second program instruction at a second program instruction input (506) to produce a count control (518). The programmable counter (510) receives the divided signal appearing at the programmable divider output (514) and the count control (518). The count control (518) sets the count value of the programmable counter (510).
