  • Patent number: 9837931
    Abstract: A steady state control method for a three-phase double-mode inverter. Off-grid steady state control is composed of outer loop power droop control, voltage feed-forward quasi-resonant control, and inner current loop dead-beat control. Therefore, the response speed of the inverter is raised, and the influence caused by the load fluctuation of a micro-grid is inhibited. Based on the off-grid steady state control, grid-connected steady state control introduces phase lead control to the power droop control. Therefore, the output voltage of the inverter is always slightly ahead of the power grid voltage, which avoids the energy pour backward phenomenon of the inverter due to a phase error, and realizes stable and reliable running in the grid-connected mode.

  • Patent number: 8466991
    Abstract: This is generally directed to systems and methods for reading optical black pixel cells. For example, in some embodiments, the columns of a pixel array can be shunted together during an optical black pixel readout phase of the imaging system. This may, for example, help improve correction of column fixed pattern noise or other noise. In some embodiments, the column may be shunted together during the optical black pixel readout phase of the imaging system and not shunted during other phases of the imaging system (e.g., when reading values from active pixel cells, barrier pixel cells, etc). In some embodiments, circuitry for providing the column shunting can be implemented as an independent block of the imaging system. In other embodiments, this circuitry can be implemented within other blocks of the imaging system. As an illustration, the shunting circuitry can be implemented within a VLN block of the imaging system.

    Abstract: Circuits and methods of generating control signals for transistors in a pixel row of a pixel array are disclosed. The circuits include a transfer transistor control signal row driver that includes a plurality of output branches and a reset transistor control signal row driver that includes a plurality of output branches. The row drivers output positive boosted control signals to selected pixel rows during a photosensor-to-floating diffusion region charge transfer phase and during a floating diffusion region reset phase and to unselected pixel rows during an initial part of an integration phase. The row drivers output positive non-boosted control signals to unselected non-integrating pixel rows.
