The sub array has plural picture element cells arranged in a 2D arrangement. Each A/D converter has a pulse delay circuit having delay units of plural stages connected in series. Each delay unit delays an input pulse by a delay time corresponding to a level of the light signals received from the sub array.

A group of non-volatile memory cells are programmed in a programming pass by a series of incremental programming pulses where each pulse is followed by a program-verify and possibly program-inhibition step. Performance is improved during the programming pass by delayed starting and prematurely terminating the various verify levels that demarcate the multiple memory states. This amounts to skipping the verifying and inhibiting steps of the fastest and slowest programming (fringe) cells of the group. A reference pulse is established when the fastest cells have all been program-verified relative to a first verify level. The starting of what verify level at what pulse will then be delayed relative to the reference pulse. Verifying stops for a given verify level when only a predetermined number of cells remain unverified relative to that given level. Any errors arising from over- or under-programming of the fringe cells are corrected by an error correction code.

A triac controller includes a triac driver that provides a triac control signal suitable for connection to a gate terminal of a triac, such that, when in a power-on condition, the control signal carries at least a first firing pulse during each half period of the alternating current power supply. A soft start subcircuit and a zero crossing detector directs the triac driver to produce the first firing pulse at a first firing pulse delay time after the zero crossing time. During a soft start operation the first firing pulse delay time varies monotonically with each successive half period from an initial delay time to a final delay time. An auto-retriggering subcircuit causes the triac driver to produce a second firing pulse at a predetermined retriggering delay time from an end of the first firing pulse if the triac is not in an on conduction state after the end of the first firing pulse during a same half period. The auto-retriggering subcircuit causes the triac driver to produce retriggering firing pulses periodically for so long as the triac is not in the on conduction state during the same half period; however, it is inhibited from causing the triac driver to produce retriggering firing pulses during a predetermined retriggering mask period at an end of the same half period.

The plurality of predetermined first firing delay values is monotonically organized with respect to the index into the table, and a programmable rate variable determines a rate of change of the first firing delay values during a soft start operation.
