Abstract:
An image sensor includes a pixel array and an analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion unit. The pixel array generates an analog signal by sensing an incident light. The A/D conversion unit generates a digital signal in a first operation mode by performing a sigma-delta A/D conversion and a cyclic A/D conversion with respect to the analog signal and generates the digital signal in a second operation mode by performing a single-slope A/D conversion with respect to the analog signal. The image sensor provides a high-quality image in a still image photography mode and a dynamic image video mode.

Abstract:
A method of operating a non-volatile memory device includes receiving program data and a program address. Memory cells that correspond to the program address are selected from among memory cells in an erased state. The selected memory cells are programmed based on the program data such that each of the selected memory cells is programmed to one of a plurality of programmed states, where threshold voltage distributions of the programmed states are different from each other and are higher than a threshold voltage distribution associated with the erased state. By programming all or a portion of the memory cells corresponding to the erased state to have positive threshold voltages, degradation of the data retention capability of the memory cells may be reduced.
Abstract:
An analog-to-digital converter includes a modulator, a controller, and a digital filter. The modulator generates a modulated signal based on an analog signal. The controller generates a weight control signal. The digital filter includes a weight signal generator and a first integrator. The weight signal generator generates a weight signal based on the weight control signal. The first integrator generates a digital signal corresponding to the analog signal by integrating the weight signal in response to the modulated signal. The weight control signal corresponds to a type and an order of the digital filter.
