Analog processing circuit, analog integrated circuit device, image reading device, and image forming apparatus

A first clamping unit clamps a base voltage of an input image signal to a predetermined reference voltage. A sampling-and-holding unit samples and holds the image signal after clamping or a reference signal that becomes the base voltage of the image signal. An amplifying unit amplifies the image signal sampled and held by the sampling-and-holding unit. An analog-to-digital converting unit converts the image signal after amplification into a digital image signal. A second clamping unit clamps the reference signal to a predetermined voltage.

Driver apparatus and method

A driver apparatus is provided for controlling a light source array comprising at least first and second light sources, the light source array used for illuminating a scan region on a target object, wherein light reflected from said target object is captured by a detector. The driver apparatus comprises a single integrated circuit comprising processing means for processing image data received from the detector, a switching array comprising at least first and second switches for switching the respective first and second light sources, and a current source for controlling the flow of current through the light sources. In this way the LED switching circuitry that controls an LED array is placed on the same integrated circuit (i.e. monolithic circuit) as the analogue processing circuitry that processes the image data, with the current source controlling the flow of current through the LEDs in the LED array. The current source has the advantage of avoiding rapid changes or slope discontinuities in the current flowing through the LEDs, which would otherwise cause unwanted transient signals. A shunt path comprising a switching device may be provided in parallel with the LED array and switching array. The shunt path has the advantage of enabling the switching sequence from one LED to another to be controlled such that a substantially constant current is drained from the supply (subject to any differences in the inherent current drawn by the Red, Green and Blue LEDs, respectively).

Imaging device, monitoring device, and electronic appliance

An imaging device capable of detecting differences with low power consumption is provided. The imaging device includes a pixel including a photoelectric conversion element and a transistor; an analog processing circuit; and a digital processing circuit. The imaging device is operated in a first mode and a second mode. In the first mode, the analog processing circuit detects a difference between first imaging data taken by the pixel and second imaging data taken by the pixel and generates a trigger signal on the basis of the value of the difference. In the second mode, the digital processing circuit converts third imaging data taken by the pixel into digital data. Switching from the first mode to the second mode is performed on the basis of the trigger signal.

Power and area efficient interleaved ADC

Pipeline analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are commonly used for high frequency applications; however, operating at high sampling rates will often result in high power consumption or tight timing constraints. Here, though, an ADC is provided that allows for relaxed timing (which enables a high sampling rate) with low power consumption. This is accomplished through the use of multiplexed, front-end track- and-hold (T / H) circuits that sample on non-overlapping portions of a clocking signal in conjunction with ''re-used'' or shared analog processing circuitry. Parallel track- and-hold (T / H) circuits (304, 306) receive an analog input signal (AIN or prior residue) and are clocked at half clock cycles (CLK / 2) by clocking circuit 303 to sample / hold on non- overlapping logic phases. The T / H circuits (304, 306) are respectively coupled to analog-to-digital converter (ADC 310) through multiplexer (308) and to digital-to-analog converter (DAC 312), adder (314) and amplifier (316) to perform analog processing to resolve sampled signals for digital output circuit (104) and to generate a residue signal (ROUT).
