    摘要: An output portion of a charge pump receives control signals from a phase frequency detector and in response outputs positive current pulses and negative current pulses to a loop filter. A current control portion of the charge pump controls the output portion such that the magnitudes of the positive and negative current pulses are the same. Within the current control portion there is a “Charge Pump Output Voltage Replica Node” (CPOVRN). The voltage on this CPOVRN is maintained to be the same as a voltage on the charge pump output node. A capacitor leakage compensation circuit indirectly senses the voltage across a leaking capacitor of the loop filter by sensing the voltage on the CPOVRN. The compensation circuit imposes the sensed voltage across a replica capacitor, mirrors a current leaking through the replica, and supplies the mirrored current in the form of a compensation current to the leaking capacitor.

    摘要: A pixel array in an image sensor includes multiple pixels. The pixel array includes vertical shift registers for shifting charge out of the pixel array. The vertical shift registers can be interspersed between the pixels, such as in an interline image sensor, or the photosensitive areas in the pixels can operate as vertical shift registers. The pixels are divided into blocks of pixels. One or more electrodes are disposed over each pixel. Conductive strips are disposed over the electrodes. Contacts are used to connect selected electrodes to respective conductive strips. The contacts in at least one block of pixels are positioned according to one contact pattern while the contacts in one or more other blocks are positioned according to a different contact pattern. The different contact patterns reduce or eliminate visible patterns in the contact locations.

    摘要: Techniques for providing voltage-controlled oscillator circuits having improved phase noise performance and lower power consumption. In an exemplary embodiment, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) is coupled to a mixer or a frequency divider such as a divide-by-two circuit. The VCO includes a transistor pair with magnetically cross-coupled inductors, and variable capacitance coupled to the gates of the transistor pair. In an exemplary embodiment, a frequency divider is configured to divide the frequency of the differential current flowing through the transistor pair to generate the LO output. In an alternative exemplary embodiment, a mixer is configured to mix the differential current flowing through the transistor pair with another signal. The VCO and mixer or frequency divider share common bias currents, thereby reducing power consumption. Various exemplary apparatuses and methods utilizing these techniques are disclosed.
