摘要: A method may be performed by a leakage monitoring and compensation system configured to estimate and compensate for leakage current in memory unit cells. The method may include identifying a leakage monitoring component associated with a memory unit cell. Further, the method may include sampling multiple leak events during a first exposure window. The method may include storing a first count representing the plurality of leak events sampled during the first exposure window. Each leak event may correspond to a unit of memory leakage. The method may include sampling multiple sensing events during a second exposure window. The method may include detecting a second count representing the sensing events sampled during the second exposure window. The method may include determining a compensation value representing a difference between the first count and the second count.

摘要: This disclosure describes a method of operating an image sensor and a plurality of memory cells associated with the image sensor, each memory cell comprising: one or more input lines, a stop exposure output line; a storage capacitor; and a stop exposure circuit. The method may comprise, by each of the memory cells, sensing a voltage representing an exposure event in response to the input lines being enabled, and by a first one of the memory cells, enabling the stop exposure output line in response to a charge on the storage capacitor satisfying a charge threshold; and stopping further exposure of the image sensor in response to the stop exposure output line being enabled for the first one of the memory cells.

摘要: In one embodiment, an electrical circuit module may include a bootstrap capacitor connected to a bootstrap-capacitor charging switch. A first signal channel may include a first sampling switch and a first control switch that controls a first connection between the bootstrap capacitor and a first control input of the first sampling switch. A second signal channel may include a second sampling switch and a second control switch that controls a second connection between the bootstrap capacitor and a second control input of the second sampling switch. The bootstrap capacitor may be charged during a first operation phase during which the bootstrap-capacitor charging switch is turned on. The first control switch of the first signal channel may be turned on during a first sub-phase of a second operation phase, and the second control switch of the second signal channel is turned on during a second sub-phase of the second operation phase.

摘要: A circuit may be configured to reduce current leakage. The circuit may include a bias generator, a charge interface, and a charge controller. The bias generator may be coupled to a first voltage source and configured to generate a first current and provide a first voltage. The charge interface may be communicatively coupled to the bias generator and configured to mirror the first current into a second current. The charge controller may be communicatively coupled to the charge interface and configured to receive the second current from the charge interface and provide a second voltage. The bias generator may be further configured to perform an ultra-low leakage switching operation in which the first voltage is switched to a third voltage while reducing a first possibility of band-band tunneling leakage at the charge interface.
