Abstract: An image sensor for sampling a pixel signal a plurality of times during a readout time includes an analog comparator configured to compare a signal level of the pixel signal with a signal level of a target ramp signal that is any one of a plurality of ramp signals, a counter configured to output counting data based on a comparison result of the analog comparator, and a digital comparing circuit configured to compare a binary value of a target reference code corresponding to the target ramp signal with a binary value of the counting data and determine whether to output a digital signal corresponding to the counting data to a data output circuit based on a result of the comparison between the binary value of the counting data and the binary value of the target reference code.

Abstract: An image sensor includes a first amplifier comparing and amplifying a first voltage signal received from a first column line, and a ramp signal; a second amplifier amplifying an output of the first amplifier; a third amplifier comparing and amplifying a second voltage signal received from a second column line, and the ramp signal; and a fourth amplifier amplifying an output of the third amplifier, wherein the second amplifier and the fourth amplifier output a decision signal at different points in time by dummy switch control split.

Abstract: A battery module is disclosed. In one aspect, the battery module includes first through third battery packs electrically connected to one another. The battery module also includes a bus pattern. The bus pattern includes i) a main body including an input/output point of a charging/discharging path and ii) first through third branching portions that branch from the main body and extend to first through third contact points of the first through third battery packs, respectively. A first distance is defined as the distance between the input/output point and the first contact point, a second distance is defined as the distance between the input/output point and the second contact point and a third distance is defined as the distance between the input/output point and the third contact point. The first distance is less than the second distance, and the second distance is less than the third distance.

Abstract: A battery pack is disclosed. The battery pack includes a battery holder, a lead terminal, a bus bar, and a pack case. The battery holder includes a cell holder accommodating a plurality of battery cells and a flange extending outwardly from the cell holder. The lead terminal includes a lead plate and a lead tab, the lead plate covering electrodes of the battery cells, and the lead tab extending from the lead plate toward the flange. The bus bar is configured to form an electrical path between the lead tab and an external terminal. The pack case includes a coupler, and the external terminal is formed on the pack case. A fastener is inserted into the bus bar, the lead tab, and the flange, and the fastener is engages with the coupler.

Abstract: A battery pack is disclosed. In one aspect, the battery pack includes a plurality of battery cells each extending in a first direction and a battery management system (BMS) configured to control a charging/discharging operation of the battery cells. The BMS is placed at one of exterior surfaces of the battery cells and extends in a direction crossing the first direction.

Abstract: A battery module is disclosed. In one aspect, the battery module includes a battery management system configured to control charge and discharge operations of a battery pack, and a conductor configured to form charge and discharge current paths of the battery pack. The battery module also includes a relay electrically connected to the conductor and configured to selectively block the charge and discharge current paths and a support plate supporting the battery management system, the conductor and the relay.
