Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter includes a comparator, a switch, and a counter circuit. The comparator is configured to generate a comparison signal by comparing an analog signal received through a first signal line and a reference signal received through a second signal line. The switch is coupled between the first signal line and the comparator. The switch is open before the analog signal is applied to the first signal line to disconnect the first signal line from the comparator, and is closed after the analog signal is applied to the first signal line to provide the analog signal to the comparator. The counter circuit is configured to generate a digital signal corresponding to the analog signal by performing a count operation in synchronization with a count clock signal based on the comparison signal.

Abstract: An ambient light sensor includes a photoelectric conversion unit, a current control unit, a signal conversion unit and a comparison unit. The photoelectric conversion unit provides a photo current having a magnitude corresponding to illuminance of incident light to a first node. The current control unit generates a control current exponentially proportional to an elapse time based on a clock signal, provides the control current to the first node, and outputs a digital code corresponding to the elapse time in response to a reset signal. The signal conversion unit generates a comparison voltage logarithmically proportional to a sum of the photo current and the control current. The comparison unit generates the reset signal by comparing a magnitude of the comparison voltage and a magnitude of a reference voltage. The ambient light sensor generates the digital code effectively representing illuminance of ambient light that eyes of a human being perceives.
