Abstract: A phase detection circuit can include two phase detectors that each generate a non-zero output in response to input signals being aligned in phase. The input signals are based on two periodic signals. The phase detection circuit subtracts the output signal of one phase detector from the output signal of the other phase detector to generate a signal having a zero value when the periodic signals are in phase. Alternatively, a phase detector generates a phase comparison signal indicative of a phase difference between periodic signals. The phase comparison signal has a non-zero value in response to input signals to the phase detector being aligned in phase. The input signals are based on the periodic signals. An output circuit receives the phase comparison signal and generates an output having a zero value in response to the periodic signals being aligned in phase.

Abstract: In an integrated-circuit image sensor, binary sample values are read out from an array of pixels after successive sampling intervals that collectively span an image exposure interval and include at least two sampling intervals of unequal duration. Each pixel of the array is conditionally reset after each of the successive sampling intervals according to whether the pixel yields a binary sample in a first state or a second state.

Abstract: A split-counter architecture is implemented within an image sensor system. A first counter within an image sensor region counts image data from pixel regions within the image sensor region, and outputs the most significant bits of the image data to a second counter external to the image sensor region, reducing the bandwidth required between the image sensor region and the second counter, and reducing the size of the counters within the image sensor region.

Abstract: Methods and systems for increasing the effective dynamic range of an image sensor are disclosed. Each pixel in the sensor is exposed for a respective first exposure time. Each pixel's response to the respective first exposure is measured and compared to threshold values. Based on the pixel's response to the respective first exposure time, an optimal exposure is calculated for each pixel. The optimal exposure time is applied to each pixel by utilizing row-enabled and column-enabled signals at each pixel within the sensor.

Abstract: A self-resetting pixel having a memory element to record occurrence of an asynchronous pixel reset and circuitry to enable the memory element to be digitally sampled and cleared is disclosed, together with embodiments of digital image sensors formed by arrays or other collections of such pixels. By marking occurrence of asynchronous reset events within an in-pixel memory element that may be digitally oversampled during an exposure interval (i.e., repeatedly read-out in the form of, for example, a single-bit), it becomes possible to check for and detect asynchronous pixel reset events frequently and efficiently.
