Abstract:
An image sensor is provided. The image sensor includes a counting code generator configured to generate a counting code, a pixel array including at least one pixel, a correlated double sampling (CDS) circuit configured to compare a magnitude of a pixel signal output from the at least one pixel with a magnitude of a ramp signal and to output a corresponding comparison signal, a pulse generator configured to generate a pulse signal synchronized with a first clock signal based on the comparison signal, and a counter circuit configured to latch a value of the counting code to correspond to a transition of a level of the comparison signal based on the pulse signal.
Abstract:
An analog-digital converter includes a count code generator to receive a code generation clock signal from a clock signal generator and to output a count code according to the code generation clock signal, a latch to latch the count code, an operating circuit to generate a count value of the count code and to output a digital signal based on the count value, and a transfer controller to transfer the count code from the latch to the operating circuit. The transfer controller determines whether to transfer the count code according to a logic level of a count enable clock signal generated from the clock signal generator.
Abstract:
A method of determining an End Point Detection (EPD) time and an electronic device for performing the method are provided. The electronic device includes a processor and a memory electrically connected to the processor and configured to store commands executed by the processor. The processor may be configured to recognize an utterance when the commands are executed, determine an End Point Detection (EPD) time for terminating recognition of the utterance based on utterance data stored in the memory, and terminate the recognition of the utterance when the utterance is not additionally input within the EPD time. The utterance data may include sentence data, which includes a pattern related to a sentence type of the utterance, and word data, which includes a word of the utterance.
Abstract:
Provided is an image sensor including a pixel array that includes a plurality of pixels, wherein each of the plurality of pixels is configured to generate an analog signal in response to incident light; an analog-to-digital converter that includes a counter, wherein the analog-to-digital converter is configured to convert the analog signal into a digital signal; and a test circuit that is configured to change a reset code according to a horizontal time period, wherein the reset code corresponds to a first counting value during a reset time period of a test mode according to a count clock signal, and wherein the test circuit is configured to test a counting operation of the counter based on the reset code that changes according to the horizontal time period.
