    摘要: An improved image sensor comprises a plurality of photo-sensing elements each comprising an impurity diffusion layer formed in a surface of a semiconductor substrate and arrayed linearly. The photo-sensing elements are of an opposite conductivity type than that of the semiconductor substrate. A transparent insulating film is formed on the photo-sensing elements and the surface of the semiconductor substrate. A non-light transmitting shading film is formed over the transparent insulating film and has photo-sensing windows which overlay a part of each of the photo-sensing elements. The shape and area of each of the photo-sensing elements is equal. The area of each of the photo-sensing windows is equal, but the shape of the first and last photosensing windows is different from that of the remaining photosensing windows. By this arrangement, the amount of photoexcited carriers generated is uniform at all photo-sensing regions, since the area of all photo-sensing windows is equal. Also, since the area and shape of all photo-sensing elements is the same, the amount of photo-excited carriers stored by all the photo-sensing elements is equal, and thus an output current read out from the elements is uniform.

    摘要: The semiconductor image sensing device is comprised of a single crystal substrate of one conductivity type, formed thereon with an array of photodetector 5 for effecting photo-electric conversion, a read-out circuit for sequentially reading out an output signal from each photodetector, an amplifier for voltage-converting the read output signal, and a voltage regulator for providing a constant voltage. The read-out circuit and the photodetectors are driven by a lower voltage supplied from the integrated voltage regulator so as to reduce a switching noise generated in the read-out circuit. S/N ratio of the semiconductor image sensor is improved by reducing the switching noise. Further, the power consumption can be saved by driving the read-out circuit at the lower voltage.

    摘要: A photoelectric conversion array is comprised of a longitudinal semiconductor substrate formed with a plurality of doped regions electrically isolated from one another and equidistantly aligned in the longitudinal direction of the substrate. Each doped region is comprised of a first region containing therein base, collector and emitter regions arranged to constitute a bipolar phototransistor operative in response to irradiation of incident light onto the base region to induce a photoelectric current between the collector and emitter regions, and a second region disposed adjacent to and laterally of the first region and containing therein a drain region, a source region, a channel region between the drain and source regions and a gate region disposed on the channel region to constitute a MOS switching transistor electrically connected in series to the bipolar phototransistor and selectively operative in response to a control voltage applied to the gate region to enable the induced photoelectric current to flow through the channel region to thereby drive the corresponding bipolar phototransistor.

    摘要: An implantable secondary battery pack having a battery management system and secondary battery is disclosed. The battery management system is capable of charging the rechargeable battery using low incoming voltage. When the rechargeable battery is charging, the battery management circuit output voltage is almost the same as that of the rechargeable battery. The battery management circuit has battery monitor functions and prevents the rechargeable battery from over-charging or over-discharging by using only one large switch. This invention can be used to remotely recharge implantable medical devices such as a pacemaker, neurostimulator, defibrillator, and cochlear implant.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an improvement in the safety and a reduction in a current consumption in a battery device which is capable of calculating the remaining amount of a lithium ion secondary battery. If the charging and discharging current becomes equal to or lower than a given value, circuits including a current monitoring circuit operate so as to reduce the current consumption. In this situation, the current monitoring circuit stops to function. A control circuit is connected with a differentiating circuit, and if a voltage between both ends of the sense resistor changes, a charging and discharging current monitoring circuit is again operated. With the above solving means, the current consumption can be suppressed, and a precision in the current monitor can be enhanced.

    摘要: To enhance the performance as well as the reliability and safety of a charge/discharge control circuit and a charging type power-supply unit using it, a charge/discharge control circuit 102 is made to have a circuit construction wherein when a load 109 has been connected at a time of a secondary cell 101 being charged and being in a state having been protected from the charging operation, the state of protection from the charging operation is released to thereby make a switch circuit 103 "on" and permit effective performance of the discharging operation while, on the other hand, when a transition occurs from even this state to a state where excess current is consumed from the secondary cell 101 and as a result an excessive amount of current flows through the switch circuit 103, control can be made so that the discharging from the secondary cell 101 may be stopped, thereby enabling avoidance of the FETs from breakage.
