An imager acquires a scene's image by pixels each of which has a digital storage device which accumulates information on a pertinent portion of the image. During image acquisition, the imager moves relative to the scene, and the contents of the digital storage devices are shifted from one pixel to another. In some embodiments, less than all bits of a digital storage device are shifted, and/or the shift is accompanied by some operation on the contents of the digital storage devices. Other features are also provided.

A pipelined Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) comprising a number of stages, at least one of the stages includes a sample and hold circuit. The sample and hold circuit includes a first output connected to an input of a sub-ADC, an output of the sub-ADC connected to an input of a Digital-to-Analog Converter (DAC), an output of the DAC connected to a node, and a second output connected to the node. The sample and hold circuit is configured to independently scale a signal produced by the first output and a signal produced by the second output.

A time-interleaved Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) includes a set of sub-ADC circuits. Each sub-ADC circuit comprises a sample-and-hold circuit. Each sample-and-hold circuit includes a bootstrap circuit for maintaining a constant voltage level between an input terminal of a switch and a gate terminal of the switch, the switch for switching between a sample mode and a hold mode. Each sample and hold circuit also includes a capacitor bank associated with the bootstrap circuit such that a setting of the capacitor bank affects an ON state intrinsic resistance of the switch by affecting the voltage level.

A reference buffer amplifier within an integrated circuit includes a first output terminal connected to a first bond pad, the first bond pad being connected to a first external pin of the integrated circuit chip, the first external pin to allow an external capacitance to be connected to the output terminal. The reference buffer further includes a variable, settable resistance sub-circuit connected to a second bond pad, the second bond pad also being connected to the first external pin. The resistance sub-circuit is configured to be set to exhibit a resistance value to critically dampen a response of the reference buffer amplifier.

A light-to-frequency converter includes a switch () connected in series with a reverse-biased photodiode (). A node () in the current path through the switch and the photodiode is connected to the input of a Schmidt trigger (), whose output controls the switch. New techniques are provided for motion compensation, partial readouts, dark current elimination, non-destructive testing, and sensing the state of a memory cell.
