Abstract: A non-overlapping clock generator generating an in-phase output clock signal and a reversed-phase output clock signal which are non-overlapped with each other, includes: a first and a second XOR gates, a first and a second load transistors, which are cross coupled, and includes: a first and a second delay circuits. The first delay circuit is coupled between the in-phase output clock signal and a control terminal of the first load transistor. The second delay circuit is coupled between the reversed-phase output clock signal and a control terminal of the second load transistor. Each of the XOR gates includes at least one pass transistor logic circuit configured to execute XOR logic operation and coupled to a first control voltage. A non-overlapping period is determined according to the first control voltage and/or a first delay period of the first delay circuit and a second delay period of the second delay circuit.

Abstract: A column parallel ADC circuit includes: plural column ADCs and a digital processing circuit. The plural column ADCs generate respective plural digital counts. The plural column ADCs include a first column ADC and a second column ADC. The first column ADC generates a first digital count according to a first analog signal, and the second column ADC generates a second digital count according to a second analog signal. The first digital count is a difference between a first digital signal and a second digital signal. The first and the second digital signals correspond to the first and the second analog signals respectively. The digital processing circuit generates the plural digital signals, wherein the digital processing circuit generates the first digital signal according to the first digital count and the second digital signal.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a thermal pile sensing structure integrated with one or more capacitors, which includes: a substrate, an infrared sensing unit and a partition structure. The infrared sensing unit includes a first and a second sensing structure. A hot junction is formed between the first and the second sensing structures at a location where the first and the second sensing structures are close to each other. A cold junction is formed between the partition structure and the first sensing structure at a location where these two structures are close to each other. Another cold junction is formed between the partition structure and the second sensing structure at a location where these two structures are close to each other. A temperature difference between the hot junction and the cold junction generates a voltage difference signal. Apart of the partition structure forms at least one capacitor.

Abstract: A proximity sensing device includes: a light source, a sensing unit, a light guide unit, and a window. The light source emits light, which is guided by the light guide unit to the window. The emitted light reflected by an object is received by the same window. The light guide unit includes a partial-transmissive-partial-reflective (PTPR) optical element, whereby the light emitted from the light source is reflected by the PTPR optical element, while the light reflected by the object passes through the PTPR optical element. There is only one window required.
