    摘要: An apparatus comprising a clock shaper (510) configured to derive a frequency of a reference clock signal (501) into a plurality of n frequencies associated to a plurality of n gated clocks, Clock 0, Clock 1,..., Clock n-1 (571-0, 571-1,..., 571-n-1), and configured to generate a plurality of m clock enable signals (511-1, 511-2, 511-3, 511-4,..., 511-m), where n is a number of the gated clocks and m corresponds to a divisor; a plurality of n coupled clock selection and gating units (550-0, 550-1,..., 550-n-1) receiving the reference clock (501) and the plurality of m clock enable signals (511-1, 511-2, 511-3, 511-4,..., 511-m), and configured to select one of the plurality of m clock enable signals (511-1, 511-2, 511-3, 511-4,..., 511-m) and to gate to an output clock (571-0, 571-1,..., 571-n-1); and a phase decoding unit (530) configured to decode the plurality of m clock enable signals (511-1, 511-2, 511-3, 511-4,..., 511-m) based on a plurality of received division value per clock signals, and configured to generate a plurality of n clock selection signals (531-0, 531-1,..., 531-n-1), wherein one of the plurality of n clock selection signals (531-0, 531-1 531 -n-1) corresponds to a selected frequency of one of the plurality of frequencies of the plurality of n gated clocks (571-1, 571-2,..., 571-n-1); wherein the plurality of n coupled clock selection and gating units (550-0, 550-1 550-n-1) are responsive to the plurality of n clock selection signals (531-0, 531-1 531 -n-1) to generate the output clock (571-0, 571-1,..., 571 -n-1) with the selected frequency.

    摘要: There are provided an A/D conversion circuit in which a counter is made to be capable of performing counting at both edges of a clock, up/down count values can be switched while the up/down count values are held, and the duty of the counting operation is difficult to be distorted even with the both-edge counting, a solid-state image sensor, and a camera system. An ADC 15A is configured as an integrating-type A/D conversion circuit using a comparator 151 and a counter 152. The counter 152 has a function of switching a count mode from an up count to a down count and from a down count to an up count while a value is held, a function of performing counting at both rising and falling edges of an input clock CK at a frequency two times as high as that of the input clock, and a function of latching the input clock CK in accordance with an output signal of the comparator 151 and setting non-inverted or inverted data of the latched data to be data of an LSB.

    摘要: A digital counter (e.g., Fig. 1) that uses non-volatile memories (12, 14, 16, 18, ...) as storage cells, wherein the storage cells are sub-divided into two groups, one for the implementation of a rotary counter (20, 22) that keeps track of the less significant part of the count and a binary counter (10) that keeps track of the more significant part of the count. The rotary counter implements a counting method that maximizes the count that can be obtained before the endurance limit of the memory is reached by making sure that each change of state of each cell is recorded as one count and that all cells in the rotary counter experience two change of state in every cycle. The binary counter (10) records the number of cycles the rotary counter has gone through.
