    摘要: An image compensation circuit for an image sensor includes a gain amplifier, a compensation control circuit, a memory and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The gain amplifier is used for receiving a plurality of image signals from the image sensor and amplifying the plurality of image signals. The compensation control circuit is used for generating a plurality of compensation values for the plurality of image signals. The memory, coupled to the compensation control circuit, is used for storing the plurality of compensation values. The DAC, coupled to the memory and the gain amplifier, is used for converting the plurality of compensation values into a plurality of compensation voltages, respectively, to compensate the plurality of image signals with the plurality of compensation voltages.

    摘要: An image pickup device, comprises: a pixel configured to output a signal based on a light reception amount; and an AD conversion unit. The AD conversion unit includes: an amplifier circuit configured to amplify a signal that is output from the pixel; a comparator circuit including an output node for outputting a comparison result signal generated by using an output signal from the amplifier circuit and a ramp signal; a memory configured to hold a digital value corresponding to the output signal, based on a result of the comparator circuit; a gain switching circuit configured to switch a gain of the amplifier circuit; and a ramp signal switching circuit configured to switch a slope of the ramp signal. The gain switching circuit and the ramp signal switching circuit are electrically connected to the output node.

    摘要: A video signal transmission and reception system includes a first video signal receiver and a second video signal receiver in a video signal reception module and a video signal transmitter in a camera module. The video signal reception module includes the first video signal receiver, the second video signal receiver, and a central operation processor. A frame signal generated in the first video signal receiver is sent to a video signal transmitter of a first group and is output to the second video signal receiver. In addition, the frame signal generated in the first video signal receiver is input into the second video signal receiver and is sent to a video signal transmitter of a second group from the second video signal receiver.

    摘要: An embodiment includes: a pixel unit including first and second imaging regions arranged with effective pixels and first and second reference regions arranged with optical black pixels; and a scanning unit that performs, on a row-by-row basis, reset operations of photoelectric converters and readout operations of pixel signals based on charges generated in the photoelectric converters which includes charge transfer to transfer charges generated in the photoelectric converters to holding portions. The scanning unit drives the pixels in the first imaging region and the first reference region in a first condition where a period from the end of reset operation to the end of charge transfer is a first length and drives the pixels in the second imaging region and the second reference region in a second condition where a period from the end of reset operation to the end of charge transfer is a second length.
