  • Publication number: 20240244347
    Abstract: An imaging pixel to mitigate cross-talk effects comprises a voltage supply node to receive a supply voltage, and an output node to provide a pixel output signal. The imaging pixel further comprises a photosensitive element, and a source follower transistor having a control node coupled to the photosensitive element. The source follower transistor is interposed between the voltage supply node and the output node. The imaging pixel comprises a clamping circuit being interposed between the voltage supply node and the output node.

  • Publication number: 20220408040
    Abstract: An imaging pixel (2) to mitigate cross-talk effects comprises a voltage supply node (VN) to receive a supply voltage (VDD), and an output node (ON) to provide a pixel output signal. The imaging pixel (2) further comprises a photosensitive element (10), and a source follower transistor (31) having a control node coupled to the photosensitive element (10). The source follower transistor (31) is interposed between the voltage supply node (VN) and the output node (ON). The imaging pixel (2) comprises a clamping circuit (20) being interposed between the voltage supply node (VN) and the output node (ON).

  • Patent number: 11456699
    Abstract: Oscillator circuits, electronic devices, and methods are disclosed. In one embodiment, an oscillator circuit includes a plurality of oscillator transistors comprising a plurality of gates, a plurality of adjustment transistors coupled to the plurality of gates, a differential output coupled to the plurality of oscillator transistors, a plurality of current transistors configured to receive one or more mixed bias current outputs, and generate a main current based on the one or more mixed bias current outputs, the one or more mixed bias current outputs and the main current being substantially constant over a range of temperatures, and one or more switches configured to set an oscillation frequency of the differential output by driving a first portion of a main current through at least one of the plurality of oscillator transistors, and driving a second portion of the main current through at least one of the plurality of adjustment transistors.

  • Patent number: 9667234
    Abstract: This invention pertains to a source follower circuit suitable for receiving and buffering an input voltage and providing the buffered input voltage to a sampling capacitor via a sampling switch. The source follower circuit employs a slew enhancement circuit which enables the source follower to have fast settling for both high-to-low and low-to-high transitions.
