    摘要: Techniques are disclosed relating to radio frequency (RF) power detection. In one embodiment, a power detection unit is disclosed that includes a multiplier circuit configured to receive a first voltage of a voltage differential signal at gates of a first transistor pair and a second voltage of the voltage differential signal at gates of a second transistor pair. The first multiplier is configured to output a current that varies proportionally to a square of a voltage difference between the first and second voltages. In some embodiments, sources of the first transistor pair are coupled to sources of the second transistor pair, and the sources of the second transistor pair are coupled together. In some embodiments, the power detection unit is configured to compensate for mismatched transistors by applying offset voltages to bodies of transistors in the first and second transistor pairs.

    摘要: A photodiode sensor (25) has a photodiode (30) with an associated capacitance (34), which may be a parasitic capacitance of the photodiode (30). A switch (36) is provided for charging the capacitance (34) to a predetermined reset voltage (Vreset), such that when light impinges upon the photodiode (30), the voltage on the capacitance (34) discharges in a time proportional to an intensity of the light. A circuit (42) is also provided for measuring the time for the capacitance (34) to discharge to a predetermined threshold value (33), which may be a function of time. The voltage on the output (38) of the comparator (28) may be sampled, with the sampling period also being variable as a function of time. The image may be reconstructed from time data indicating the relative times that discharge voltage of the pixels in an array cross the reference voltage (33).
