    Abstract: A circuit that includes at least two driver circuits. Each driver circuit receives analog information and drives a value related to the analog information to an analog bus. Each driver circuit also includes a select transistor to pass the value related to the analog information to the analog bus when the driver circuit is selected. The select transistor includes a source and a bulk. Each driver circuit further includes a bulk potential control circuit (BPCC) to couple the bulk to the source when the driver circuit is selected and to couple the bulk to a voltage supply when the driver circuit is not selected.

    Abstract: A mechanism is provided for delivering power to an on-die component (such as a buffer circuit). This may include a package unit having a low frequency delivery path and a high frequency delivery path and a die having the on-die component and a capacitive device each coupled in parallel between a first node and a second node. The die may further include a low frequency reception path and a high frequency reception path. The low frequency reception path may couple to the low frequency delivery path on the package unit and to the first node. The high frequency reception path may couple to the high frequency delivery path on the package unit and to the first node. The high frequency reception path may include a damping resistor.

    Abstract: What is disclosed is an apparatus for reducing row reset noise in photodiode based complementary metal oxide (CMOS) sensors. The apparatus uses at least one reference pixel for each row of pixels in a sensor array. Also, a reset noise elimination unit is provided to adjust the values received from the pixels in a particular row by an adjustment value determined from the reset values received from the reference pixels. Additionally, a method of using the apparatus is disclosed. The method has a step of providing a first reset signal to a row of pixels including the reference pixels. The method also reads out a first set of values from this row after integration. The method continues with providing a second reset signal to the row and a second set of values is read from the row. An adjustment value is calculated from the difference of the values which are read out from the reference pixels.
