Abstract: Techniques for compensating temperature-dependent aspects of oscillator circuits are provided. In an example, an oscillator circuit can include an oscillator capacitor, a comparator and overshoot compensation circuitry for providing an oscillation period insensitive to a temperature-dependent comparator overshoot. The oscillator capacitor can be charged during a charging portion of the oscillation period and can be discharged during a discharging portion of the oscillation period. The comparator can determine when the oscillator capacitor has been charged to a first threshold. The overshoot compensation circuitry can store an indication of temperature-dependent comparator overshoot and, in response, generate and apply an adjustable reference voltage or pre-charge to a terminal of the oscillator capacitor.

Abstract: Examples of a signal calculator include a voltage multiplier and a time divider. The voltage multiplier copies time information corresponding to a first voltage and generates a third voltage using a second current corresponding to a second voltage during a first period corresponding to the copied time information. The time divider generates an output according to a result of comparing a voltage generated by a first current on the basis of a voltage corresponding to a first time with a second voltage corresponding to a second time.

Abstract: Conventional semiconductor devices disadvantageously failed to sufficiently enlarge a dynamic range. A semiconductor device according to an embodiment includes a plurality of registers 21 to 26 that sets a gradient of a ramp signal. In the semiconductor device, the values in the registers 24 to 26 that are reflected in the gradient of the ramp signal are switched at predetermined timings, whereby a ramp signal with a gradient that changes at the predetermined timings is generated, and an analog-to-digital converter uses the ramp signal to convert pixel signals acquired from a pixel area into digital values.
