  • Publication number: 20240196494
    Abstract: Disclosed are a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal generation circuit and a lamp control system including the same. The PWM signal generation circuit includes a pulse period control circuit configured to control charging and discharging of a first capacitor, and generate a first output signal related to a first number of times of charging of the first capacitor, a pulse width control circuit configured to control charging and discharging of a second capacitor, and generate a second output signal related to a second number of times of charging of the second capacitor, and a control logic circuit configured to determine a period of a PWM signal based on the first output signal, determine a pulse width of the PWM signal based on the second output signal, and output the PWM signal having the period and the pulse width.

  • Publication number: 20240195430
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an analog-to-digital converter that minimizes or prevents a loss of charges charged in a capacitor array by controlling a switching sequence of switches when switching phases. The analog-to-digital converter includes a DAC circuit including a CDAC circuit and a RDAC circuit, a comparator that compares an output voltage of the DAC circuit with a common mode voltage and outputs a comparison result, and a control logic circuit that controls a switch operation of the DAC circuit and the comparison operation of the comparator in a sampling phase and a comparison phase, outputs digital data based on the comparison result of the comparator, and controls switches that apply the common mode voltage and first and second reference voltages to the capacitor array in the CDAC circuit in response to that the sampling phase is switched to the comparison phase based on a specific switching timing sequence.

  • Patent number: 9467634
    Abstract: An image sensor includes a pixel array, a column signal processor, and a column mismatch compensator. The pixel array outputs a pixel signal from each column line during a pixel measuring time, and outputs a reference signal during a reference measuring time. The column signal processor performs correlated double sampling (CDS) on the reference signal to generate a reference CDS signal, and performs CDS on the pixel signal to generate a pixel CDS signal. The column mismatch compensator compensates the pixel CDS signal based on the reference CDS signal.
