    Abstract: An image sensor has a per-column ADC arrangement including first and second capacitors allowing a comparator circuit to perform correlated double sampling. The capacitors are continuously connected to, respectively, the analog pixel signal and a ramp signal without use of a hold operation. The comparator circuit comprises a differential input being connected to the junction of the two capacitors and being biased by a reference signal. The reference signal is preferably sampled and held from a reference voltage. The use of a differential input as first stage of the comparator addresses problems arising from ground voltage bounce when a large pixel array images a scene with low contrast. Connectivity of the differential input stage allows the ramp signal to see a constant capacitive load thus reduce image artifacts referred to as smear.

    Abstract: A bandwidth allocator to allocate in real time shared resources of a network on-chip is disclosed. The bandwidth allocator routes data packets between elements of the network in response to requests to access the shared resources. The bandwidth allocator could include a plurality of network interfaces to process the data packets to be routed within the network and a plurality of routers for routing the data packets through the network. A processor, distributed within the routers, controls the routers and the transmission of each data of the data packets through the routers to provide a bandwidth for each data flow. The network interfaces is adapted to fill a header field of each data packet with header field information depending on a requested bandwidth. The processor controls the transmission of the data packets through the routers as a function of the value of the header field information of each data packet.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the filtering and analog/digital conversion of an incoming analog signal including an analog filtering of the incoming analog signal so as to filter the frequency components located outside a desired frequency band, and a conversion of the filtered analog signal to a digital signal. The digital signal is reformatted in a form that is substantially similar, at least in the desired frequency band, to the form of the incoming analog signal. A final digital filtering of the reformatted digital signal is performed so as to filter the frequency components located outside the desired frequency band.
