  • Publication number: 20240114226
    Abstract: In one example, an apparatus for integrating sensing and display system includes a first semiconductor layer that includes an image sensor; a second semiconductor layer that includes a display; a third semiconductor layer that includes compute circuits configured to support an image sensing operation by the image sensor and a display operation by the display; and a semiconductor package that encloses the first, second, and third semiconductor layers, the semiconductor package further including a first opening to expose the image sensor and a second opening to expose the display. The first, second, and third semiconductor layers form a first stack structure along a first axis. The third semiconductor layer is sandwiched between the first semiconductor layer and the second semiconductor layer in the first stack structure.

  • Publication number: 20240007771
    Abstract: Systems and readout methods for foveated sensing may include a pixel array, readout circuitry, and processing logic. The pixel array may have a number of pixels. The readout circuitry may be configured to read image data from the pixel array for each of the plurality of pixels. The processing logic may be configured to identify a number of regions of interest (ROIs) within the pixel array. The processing logic may be configured to associate the image data for the pixels with one or more ROIs. The processing logic may be configured to arrange the image data into data frames. The data frames may include the image data ordered by ROI. Image data for inactive pixels may be removed from the image data and data frames prior to transmission. The processing logic may be configured to transmit the data frames in an order that is based on the ROIs.

  • Patent number: 10574181
    Abstract: Examples are disclosed that relate to oscillator circuits. One example provides a circuit comprising an amplifier, a resonator in parallel with the amplifier, and a shunt path including one or more circuit elements, the shunt path coupled to a first node downstream of an output of the amplifier and to a second node, the shunt path configured to shunt current received at the first node away from an input of the resonator and toward the second node, the second node having, at steady state, a relatively lower voltage than an input voltage of the resonator.
