  • Method and apparatus for determining defective pixel location
    Patent number: 5436659
    Abstract: An application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) that is programmable for provision of timing and control of imaging signals, including genclock and defective pixel correction function. The ASIC stores information regarding the existence of a next closely spaced defective pixel as the least significant bits of an n-bit words address of a previous defective pixel and compares only the X location information for the next pixel.

  • Programmable sequence generator
    Patent number: 4922137
    Abstract: A programmable, UV erasable integrated circuit for the generation of various timing sequences. It includes one AND plane, two OR planes, scan path pipeline registers to allow programming and reading, two counters, and a block of high speed logic which runs at an integer multiple of the clock rate of the pipeline registers. The high speed logic also includes a means for smoothly adjusting the positions of various edges of output signals by changing external resistors.
