    摘要: The invention relates to an electronic device for analyzing a scene, including a plurality of pixels (101) connected to a readout circuit (103) by a same first conductive track (105), wherein: each pixel (101) is capable of detecting an occurrence of a first event characteristic of the scene and of transmitting an event indication signal on the first conductive track (105) when it detects an occurrence of the first event; and the readout circuit (103) is capable of reading from the first conductive track (105) the event indication signals transmitted by the pixels (101) and of deducing therefrom characteristics of the scene, without transmitting event acknowledgement signals to the pixels (101).

    摘要: An image sensor including: a plurality of pixels, each pixel being capable of supplying an output signal representative of a quantity of light energy received from a time of beginning of a pixel integration phase; and a control circuit configured to, during a phase of acquisition of an image, successively select each pixel a number n of times during a same pixel integration phase, without resetting the pixel between the first and the last selection of the pixel and, for each selection of a pixel, compare the output signal of the pixel with a quantization threshold and read a binary signal representative of the result of the comparison.

    摘要: A sigma-delta converter including a sigma-delta modulator including at least one analog filter capable, for each cycle of a conversion phase, of receiving an internal analog signal originating from the analog input signal and of supplying an analog output signal, wherein: the contribution of the internal analog signal to the output value of the filter is smaller at a given cycle of the conversion phase than at a previous cycle, the contributions to the different cycles being governed by a first predetermined law which is a function of the rank of the cycle; and the duration of a given cycle of the conversion phase is shorter than the duration of a previous cycle, the durations of the different cycles being governed by a second predetermined law which is a function of the rank of the cycle in the conversion phase.
