  • Patent number: 9083367
    Abstract: An n-bit analog-to-digital converter includes a comparator that compares an analog input voltage with a comparison voltage; and a digital-to-analog converter that generates the comparison voltage in response to a result of the comparator, wherein the analog-to-digital converter outputs n-bit digital data corresponding to the analog input voltage, and wherein the analog-to-digital converter outputs a self-diagnosis result in such a way that the digital-to-analog converter generates a self-diagnosis voltage in response to the n-bit digital data and the comparator compares the analog input voltage with the self-diagnosis voltage.

  • Patent number: 8571352
    Abstract: One exemplary embodiment includes a difference image generation device including a measurement unit and a scaling unit. The measurement unit measures a variation width of pixel values of a difference image signal obtained by performing subtraction processing on first and second input image signals. The scaling unit scales each pixel value of the difference image signal based on a measurement result of the variation width so that the difference image signal can be represented in grayscale using a predetermined bit width, and outputs a difference image signal subjected to scaling.
