Abstract: An autofocus method determines that a ranging device of a digital camera has failed in an attempt to provide a distance estimation. The ranging device provides one or more parameters indicating conditions related to the failure of the ranging device to provide the distance estimation. An autofocus sequence based on the one or more parameters is then performed.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate for efficiently retrieving boot code for a processor from serial NOR flash memory. When a boot code request is received, a request handler in data capture logic tags successive address read requests to indicate whether the requests indicate contiguous addresses in the NOR flash memory for the boot code. Different circuitry in the data capture logic operates on different mesochronous clock signals. One clock signal drives the capture of boot code from NOR flash, and the other controls synchronized tagging, storing, pre-fetching, and transmitting of the captured boot code data.

Abstract: A pixel arrangement includes a photodiode, a reset transistor configured to be controlled by a reset signal and coupled to a reset input voltage, a transfer gate transistor configured to transfer charge from the photodiode to a node, wherein the transfer gate transistor is controlled by a transfer gate voltage, and a source follower transistor controlled by the voltage on the node and coupled to a source follower voltage. A capacitor is coupled between the node and an input voltage. During a read operation the input voltage is increased to boost the voltage at the node. The increased input voltage may, for example, be one the reset input voltage, said source follower voltage, said transfer gate voltage and a boosting voltage.
