    Abstract: An image pickup circuit includes a plurality of circuit blocks. Each of the plurality of circuit blocks includes a plurality of comparing elements, a single counter, and a plurality of storage units. Each of the comparing elements compares a pixel signal supplied through a vertical signal line connected to vertically aligned pixels in a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix, and a slope signal whose voltage is changed from an initial voltage at a constant slope. The counter counts an elapsed time since a voltage of the slope signal starts to change from the initial voltage. Each of the storage units stores a count value obtained by the counter in accordance with a comparison result of the comparator, the count value corresponding to an elapsed time until the voltage of the slope signal is changed from the initial voltage to a voltage coinciding with the pixel signal.

    Abstract: A dubbing apparatus to dub data managed per program like audio data such as a piece of music is provided. In the dubbing apparatus, for passing output data read from a CD through a CD drive for compression of the data and transferring the compressed data for recording to an HD drive, an HD TOC being breakpoint information is generated based on specified information indicative of a track break of output data read from the HD drive. The HD drive generates a FAT based on the HD TOC. In the HD drive, the dubbed data can be managed per track accurately and properly without having to monitor any information indicative of each track break such as sub Q data synchronously with a stream of dubbing data.

    Abstract: It is possible to achieve compatibility between suppressing dark current caused by a leak phenomenon and ensuring element reliability in a CMOS solid-state imaging device. When a pixel using electrons as signal charge is driven, the negative voltage level of each of control signals adapted to pulse-drive transistors in the pixel is adjusted so that the longer the charge accumulation time, the higher the voltage level. Preferably, the negative voltage level is grounded (GND) when no signal charge is accumulated. The negative voltage level is increased only when the charge accumulation time is long, which is the case where dark current caused by a leak phenomenon becomes a problem. Therefore, it is possible to suppress stress on the pixels and the gate oxide film of their drive circuits and degradation of the transistor characteristics even if dark current is suppressed.

    Abstract translation: 可以实现在CMOS固态成像装置中抑制由泄漏现象引起的暗电流和确保元件可靠性之间的兼容性。 当使用电子作为信号电荷的像素被驱动时,调整适合像素中的脉冲驱动晶体管的每个控制信号的负电压电平,使得电荷累积时间越长,电压电平越高。 优选地,当不积累信号电荷时,负电压电平接地(GND)。 仅当电荷累积时间长时才会增加负电压电平,这是由泄漏现象引起的暗电流成为问题的情况。 因此,即使暗电流被抑制,也可以抑制其驱动电路的像素和栅极氧化膜的应力和晶体管特性的劣化。
