Abstract: An image sensor has a per-column ADC arrangement including first and second capacitors allowing a comparator circuit to perform correlated double sampling. The capacitors are continuously connected to, respectively, the analog pixel signal and a ramp signal without use of a hold operation. The comparator circuit comprises a differential input being connected to the junction of the two capacitors and being biased by a reference signal. The reference signal is preferably sampled and held from a reference voltage. The use of a differential input as first stage of the comparator addresses problems arising from ground voltage bounce when a large pixel array images a scene with low contrast. Connectivity of the differential input stage allows the ramp signal to see a constant capacitive load thus reduce image artifacts referred to as smear.

Abstract: A circuit is provided for controlling a battery-charger device with a closed-loop architecture. The circuit includes sensing means for sensing an operative quantity of the device, control means, and driving means. The control means alternately controls the sensing means to track the operative quantity during a tracking phase and to hold the operative quantity during a holding phase. The driving means provides a regulation signal that regulates the operative quantity based on a comparison between the operative quantity sensed by the sensing means and a reference value. The control means causes the driving means to hold the regulation signal during at least part of each of the holding phases. Also provided is a method of controlling a battery-charger device with a closed-loop architecture.

Abstract: A system includes inertial sensors and a GPS. The system generates a first estimated vehicle velocity based on motion data and positioning data, generates a second estimated vehicle velocity based on the processed motion data and the first estimated vehicle velocity, and generates fused datasets indicative of position, velocity and attitude of a vehicle based on the processed motion data, the positioning data and the second estimated vehicle velocity. The generating the second estimated vehicle velocity includes: filtering the motion data, transforming the filtered motion data in a frequency domain based on the first estimated vehicle velocity, generating spectral power density signals, generating an estimated wheel angular frequency and an estimated wheel size based on the spectral power density signals, and generating the second estimated vehicle velocity as a function of the estimated wheel angular frequency and the estimated wheel size.
