Reduction in chip area through design-technology co-optimization

ActiveUS12592264B2Read-only memoriesDigital storageCharge transfer switchControl theory
Multi-stage charge pumps use a modular structure in which each stage include a pair of legs, or current paths, between the stage input and the stage output. Each leg includes a stage boosting capacitor having a first plate connected to the current path and a second plate connected to receive one of a pair of non-overlapping clock signals. Each leg has an NMOS charge transfer switch connected between the stage input and the first plate of the stage boosting capacitor and a PMOS charge transfer switch connected between the first plate of the stage boosting capacitor and the stage output. To reduce charge pump area, the NMOS and PMOS charge transfer switches are formed to have a same resistance value when in an on state, where to achieve this the NMOS charge transfer switches are formed with wider control gates than the PMOS charge transfer switches.

High dynamic range photodetector and photonic image sensor

PendingCN122122913APhotodetectorCharge transfer switch
The application belongs to the technical field of photoelectric detection, and particularly relates to a high-dynamic-range photoelectric detector and a photoelectric image sensor. Mainly comprising: a photodiode (PPD), a diffusion node (FD), a reset switch (RST) and a charge transfer switch (TX). A control device controls these switches to generate initial linear mode (LIN) and logarithmic mode (LOG) response signals of the photoelectric detection element. The control device performs two consecutive exposures on the photodiode with two different working parameters, and a calculation device receiving corresponding signals generates a unified logarithmic response signal by considering the slopes (K1; K2) of the responses and the offsets (OS1; OS2) between the signals.
