光学鼠标通过底部的LED灯,灯光以30度角射向桌面,照射出粗糙的表面所产生的阴影,然后再通过平面的折射透过另外一块透镜反馈到传感器上。
什么是激光鼠标?学过物理学的朋友都知道,光具有波粒二象性,干涉和衍射特性就是激光鼠标产生的灵感和起源。
激光鼠标其实也是光电鼠标,只不过是用激光代替了普通的LED光.好处是可以通过更多的表面,因为激光是Coherent Light(相干光),几乎单一的波长,即使经过长距离的传播依然能保持其强度和波形;而LED光则是Incoherent Light(非相干光)。
激光鼠标传感器获得影像的过程是根据,激光照射在物体表面所产生的干涉条纹而形成的光斑点反射到传感器上获得的,而传统的光学鼠标是通过照射粗糙的表面所产生的阴影来获得。
因此激光能对表面的图像产生更大的反差,从而使得“CMOS成像传感器”得到的图像更容易辨别,提高鼠标的定位精准性。

The pulsed time-of-flight (TOF) LADAR system that measures the distances to targets by emitting and detecting laser echoes accurately has the unique advantage of long detection range compared to other measurement methods such as the continuous-wave optical phase method[4-5].A block diagram of a typical TOF LADAR system is shown in Fig. 1. As shown in the figure, the LADAR system is composed of a pulsed laser transmitter, an amplifier receiver, a time-to-digital converter (TDC), an analog-digital converter (ADC), and a micro-processor. The pulsed laser transmitter generates a start signal and simultaneously emits an optical pulse signal. After focused by some optical components, the laser pulse signal launches towards the target, and an echo signal will be produced and reflected back when the optical pulse encounters the target. The amplifier receiver, on which this paper focuses, amplify the reflection signal f rom the target by receiver’s optical component to the analog-digital converter, and generates the arrival timing signal (stop) of the echo signalto the time-to-digital converter[6]. In the signal processor, according to the flight time, the distance between the target and the receiver can be calculated through the LADAR formulas by using the micro-processor. The amplifier receiver which mainly includes a photoelectric detector and analog front-end circuits converts the optical pulse echo signal into an electrical pulse. The photoelectric detector usually employs an avalanche photodiode (APD) because of the high sensitivity. The analog front-end circuits, which mainly consist a trans-impedance amplifier (TIA) and a main amplifier, are used to convert a current signal to a voltage signal for the analog-digital converter and time-to-digital converter to discriminate. However, only by using TIA it cannot satisfy the demand for the remote detection applications. Since the transmit power of the pulse laser are limited, in active imaging system, the performance of the main amplifier becomes a critical issue. Therefore, a high-performance main amplifier is a key component to the LADAR system.In this paper, a fully differential main amplifier chip has been implemented in a CSMC CMOS process. The proposed amplifier applied active inductor, which is used to reduce the chip area and enlarge the bandwidth of the circuit. In order to apply for LADAR system, this work achieves an inter-stage bandpass filter by reusing the DC offset isolation circuit. Section 2 describes the LADAR system and proposed amplifier receiver. Section 3 introduces the details of fully differential main amplifier. The measurement results of the chip are shown in Section 4, and Section 5 summarizes the design.The amplifier receiver is mainly to amplify the moment of the weak optical echo signal which is come from the target. The input current signal of the photoelectric detector produced can be acquired by the well-known radar principle and responsibility of APD.where is the responsibility of APD, is the peak power of the laser transmitted pulse, is the transmission of the optical system, means the reflection coefficient of the target, is the active area of the receiver lens. Last, and is the distance between the target and receiver.Usually, an avalanche PD (APD) is used as the photodetector because of the high responsivity. The gain of a Si APD can be 50 A/W, but the InGaAs APD has the typical gain of only 10 A/W. Therefore, the minimum detectable echo signal for the receiver will be only few tens of nW by using InGaAs APD.The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) can be calculated by the radar formula[7]. In order to suitable the practical applications, the requirement of the SNR is over 5 in the general hundreds of meter detection LADAR system. Further, the SNR over 10 would be advantageous for mm-level accuracy. Figure 2 shows the block diagram of the proposed amplifier receiver. In Fig. 2, the proposed amplifier receiver consists of two parts: trans impedance amplifier (TIA) and main amplifier. The TIA is an analog circuit that converts the input current pulse signal from the APD into voltage. And the main amplifier’s task is to further amplify the small voltage signal to an appropriate level so that the voltage can be process by the followed circuit such as the TDC and ADC. However, only by using TIA it cannot satisfy thedemand of the voltage for the remote detection system. Therefore, the performance of the main amplifier influences the optical pulse receiver largely.The main amplifier circuit should have enough wide bandwidth to keep the pulse waveform linearly magnified. However, excessive bandwidth would lead to additional noise entering the receiver, due to the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the receiver deteriorated. The bandwidth (BW) as a critical limit can be approximately expressed as follows[8]:where tr is the rise edge of the time signal. For general applications, the pulsed laser with a peak power of 20 W ~75 W and a width of 3 ns~20 ns is needed[9]. This means that a narrower pulsed echo requires about 100 MHz ~200 MHz BW of the whole receiver channel. In the design, BW of the fully differential main amplifier (FDMA) is demanded over the 500 MHz. At the same time, in order to meet the LADAR system application, this work designs an inter-stage bandpass filter by reusing the DC offset isolation circuit to limit system noise.The structure of the fully differential main amplifier (FDMA) is presented in Fig. 3. In the diagram, the circuit includes four identical gain stages to provide enough voltage gain, a large bandwidth amplifier (LBA) and an output buffer (OB) stage to enhance the deriver ability, and the bandpass filter to limit noise. In order to keep the walk error of the LADAR system small, the bandwidth of amplifier stages must be sufficiently wide frequency range. The stages need to operate linearly and resume rapidly enough after the signal inputting. This circuit is achieved by using severalamplifiers chain with a high slew rate and a large bandwidth. However, excessive bandwidth would cause additional noise entering the receiver, which degrades the receiver’s signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Therefore, the bandwidth of the whole amplifier chains should be confined. Meanwhile, the inter-stage bandpass filter which reuses the DC offset isolation circuit to limit system noise and mitigates the problem that the coupled capacitances occupy a large area in CMOS process and lead to attenuate the signal should be carefully designed. In addition, the cascaded gain stage (CGS) that realized by four identical gain stages would deteriorate the amplifiers bandwidth. Therefore, this work adopts the active inductor technology instead of traditional spiral inductor architecture to extend bandwidth. By using the method, the bandwidth of single stage is extend up to 70% without deteriorating the frequency response[10].In conventional integrated amplifier systems, the cascaded gain stage (CGS) is widely used to achieve optimum results for both high gain and wide bandwidth. Assuming that the circuit consists ofnidenticalgain stages with one pole frequency response, for the multilevel cascaded gain stages, the total bandwidth can be calculated as following (3):where BWs is the bandwidth of each gain stage, and BWtol is the whole bandwidth of CGS. Therefore, the gain bandwidth product of each gain stage given by (4):where Atol is the total gain of CGS, and GBWs is the gain bandwidth product of each gain stage.According to above formulas, there are shown that the increasing numberof the gain stages can directly achieve higher gain. Consequently, the simplest way to enlarge the cascaded gain bandwidth product is to make the number of stages as larger as possible. However, this approach will not only result in a significant increase in the power consumption and area, but also make a rapid accumulation of noise from the gain stage, which has a significant impact on the amplifier circuit stability. In the practical design, the maximum number of stages is usually limited to below five[11]. In the designed pulsed TOF imaging LADAR system, the proposed FDMA needs to meet the requirements as following:, . For n=4, it can be calculated that the BWsshould exceed 1.4 GHz and each stage should have a gain of approximately 5.25 dB. Therefore, considering the gain bandwidth and noise figure, the CGS which contains four the same gain stages is designed in the paper.The element structure of the main amplifier is the fully differential cascaded stage. However, it is hard to achieve such a wide bandwidth based on CMSC 0.5 μm CMOS process. The active inductor technique is adopted to alleviate the bandwidth degradation, because the spiral inductor with a high inductance will occupy a lot of area and it is difficult to implement in CMOS process[12]. Fig. 4 shows the structure of the proposed CGS with an active inductor load.The simplified small-signal analysis model of the active inductor load, which consists of a MOS transistor M4 and a resistor Rg, is shown in Fig. 5. Usually, there are , and , so that the Cgd4, Cds4, gds4 can be neglected. The equivalent impedance of the active inductor can be given asfollowing[13]:where Zin is the output impedance. Cgs4 is the gate-source capacitance of MOS transistor, and gm4 is the trans-conductance of MOS transistor. Therefore, the equivalent inductance L and resistance R can be calculated as following[14]:The ωT is the unity current gain angular frequency. In order to avoid undesirable peaking on the frequency response, the resistance Rg should be designed carefully according to the capacitive load of the following stage. The active inductors perform an impedance of Rg at low frequency. When the frequency is sufficiently high, the inductor L is formed by Rg and Cgs4 so that the impedance of the gain stage is increased. The impedance change is similar to the inductor and the frequency within a certain range[15]. The gain of the common source amplifier that has a structure of the active inductor load can be expressed as following (7):The for mula reveals that the stage’s gain only has received the influences on the dimension of the input and load transistors. Consequently, the circuit that uses the active inductor structure has stronger capacity against to the alteration of temperature and process. Besides, the formula can be obtained as (8):Through choosing the appropriate value of the L and R, the bandwidth can be extended largely while maintaining a suppressed gain peak over the frequency range. In summary, based on the above formula, the CGS that consists of four identical gain stages and active inductive load is the optimized choice for this design.During chip fabrication, many non-ideal elements such as the asymmetry layout design and slight deviations in MOS transistor will result in DC offset, especially for cascaded differential gain structure. Since the amplifier that uses the multi-stage cascade structure as a high gain, the DC offset voltage which generated by the preamplifier unit is amplified, resulting in a large shift of the operating point of the post amplifier[16]. Even if the input deviation is small, the amplification of the stages may cause the output buffer to reach the saturation.In order to stabilize the operating point and DC gain, the structure of offset voltage compensation loop is required. This circuit employs capacitive coupling to eliminate DC offset. As shown in Fig. 6, C1 and C2 are DC blocking capacitors for eliminating DC offset. Ma1~Ma8(Mb1~Mb8) are NMOS transistors with the same substrate and source terminals to provide a self-bias voltage for the amplifier.Excessive bandwidth can cause additional noise to enter the receiver, which degrades the receiver's signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Therefore, the bandwidth of the whole amplifier chains should be limited to a certain range. In order to meet the needs of the LADAR system, this work achieves an inter-stage bandpass filter by reusing the DC offset isolation circuit to mitigate the problem that the coupled capacitances occupy a lot of area in the CMOS process and lead to attenuate the signal. The simplified equivalent formula can be calculated as (9):where is the bandwidth of bandpass filter, is the equivalent resistance of the NMOS transistors and is C1 and the parasitic capacitors of the NMOStransistors.The output stage circuit is used to enhance the drive capability of the FDMA circuit, which includes two parts of modules. The large bandwidth amplifier (LBA) stage was employed before the output buffer (OB) to solve the problem that the parasitic capacitance causing by the large input transistors of OB results a reduction in bandwidth[17-18]. The architecture of the CGS circuit was adopted in the large bandwidth amplifier. It works as the former driver stage to eliminate the side effect of the output buffer. At last, the output buffer (OB) was designed to drive the PCB transmission lines and the load capacitance of the followed external circuit. As shown in Fig. 7, based on actual experience, the load resistors of the output buffer (OB) should be designed according to the actual situation and specific package.The proposed FDMA is fabricated in a CSMC 0.5 μm 2P3M Mixed CMOS technology. Fig. 8 shows the photograph of the fully differential main amplifier chip with an active area of 0.25 mm´0.25 mm, a core area of 0.16 mm´0.16 mm, and several extra pads were added for measurement. This chip consumes a power dissipation of 102.3 mW from 3.3 V voltage supply, in which the output buffer (OB) circuit consumes 73.2 mW. As shown in Fig. 9, the proposed chip was packaged in QFN40 and mounted on the test printed circuit board (PCB) and Fig. 10 displays the test apparatus and the environment.The open loop gain and bandwidth of the proposed chip were measured by the Agilent vector network analyzer (E5071C)(Fig. 11).From Fig. 11, it can be seen that the open loop gain of the chip is about 23.5 dB at 100 MHz, the -3 dB bandwidth is 730.6 MHz. The -3 dB bandwidth is limited to a certain range, in order to adapt the demand of the LADAR system.Figure 12 shows the measured noise spectrum from the Agilent spectrum analyzer (N9020MAX). The input-referred noise voltage of the amplifier is 2.7 nV/sqrt(Hz) at 100 MHz with the 50 Ω input.As shown in the Fig. 13, the measured response of the FDMA with the power 1 mW and 3 ns pulse width input in the system from the Tektronix Oscilloscope 5104B. The Fig. 14 illustrates the measured frequency response of the FDMA with the laser pulse frequency 10 kHz.An integrated a fully differential main amplifier for pulsed TOF imaging LADAR system with high bandwidth and low noise has been proposed and fabricated in CSMC 0.5 μm CMOS technology. The FDMA includes proposed cascaded gain stages, which enhance wide bandwidth performance, a large bandwidth amplifier (LBA) and an output buffer (OB) and the bandpass filter. The four levels cascaded architecture and active inductor technology are used to overcome the inadequate bandwidth problem and reduce the chip area under conventional process. By using the inter-stage bandpass filter, the -3 dB bandwidth is limited to improve the SNR, in order to meet the demand of the LADAR system. The measurement results have confirmed that the proposed FDMA chip achieves the -3 dB bandwidth of 730.6 MHz, and an open loop gain of 23.5 dB with the bandpass filter worked. The input-referred noise voltage is 2.7nV/sqrt(Hz), which effectively reduces the system noise. This chip that occupies 0.25 mm´0.25 mm area consumes a power dissipation of 102.3 mW from the 3.3 V power supply. As a part of the integrated chip of the laser radar system, it can better meet the requirements of system.Overview:As an active optical remote imaging technology, the laser detection and ranging (LADAR) system shows an enormous potential in industrial and civil applications with the rapid development of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV),and so on. Recently, LADAR are constantly developing towards integration, miniaturization and arraying in order to achieve higher detection and wider range of application. For the whole detection system, the performance height of the receiver circuit can directly determine the application height of the system. The amplifier receiver of the LADAR system which converts the small optical pulse signal into an electrical pulse mainly includes two parts: a photoelectric detector and the analog front-end circuits. Since the transmit power of the pulse laser are limited and considering the safety of human eyes, in active imaging systems the performance of the amplifier receiver becomes a critical issue. Therefore, a high-performance main amplifier is a key component to the LADAR system. This paper presents a high bandwidth and low noise fully differential main amplifier (FDMA) for the pulsed time-of-flight (TOF) imaging laser detection and ranging application, which is used to amplify the small pulse echo signal. To meet the entire system bandwidth requirements, the four levels cascaded architecture and active inductortechnology are designed to enlarge the bandwidth of the circuit and reduce the chip area. The cascaded gain stages, which adopted DC offset isolation circuit, are more robust to the alteration of process and temperature compared to the traditional structure. A large bandwidth amplifier (LBA) and an output buffer (OB) structure has been designed to enhance the drive capabilities. Besides, in order to adapt the demand of the LADAR system, the amplifier receiver’s bandwidth has been limited to improve the SNR by use of the inter-stage bandpass filter which reuses the DC offset isolation circuit. For the temperature variation of -40 ℃ to 85 ℃, the simulated results have confirmed the performances of the high bandwidth and low noise fully differential main amplifier. The proposed design was implemented and fabricated in CSMC CMOS technology. The measurement results show that the chip realizes the -3 dB bandwidth of 730.6 MHz, and an open loop gain of 23.5 dB with the bandpass filter worked. The input-referred noise voltage is 2.7 nV/sqrt(Hz), which effectively reduces the system noise. This chip that occupies 0.25 mm´0.25 mm in area consumes a power dissipation of 102.3 mW from the 3.3 V power supply. As a part of the integrated chip of the laser radar system, it can better meet the requirements of system and it shows good performance.Citation: Jiang Y, Liu R Q, Zhu J G, et al.

CMOS平板探测器与⾮晶硅平板探测器前⾔在C形臂X射线机中,早期的探测器都是影像增强器。
在2000年,⾮晶硅平板探测器最早在⼤C上开始应有,很快就完全取代了增强器。
但直到2006年才出现在移动C形臂上,直到2012年,全球⼀共才卖出去2百台平板移动C形臂,在全球移动C形臂的装机中只占0.4%。
主要还是因为⾮晶硅平板的低剂量DQE差,在脊柱成像上和影像增强器相⽐差很多。
在2010年前后,CMOS平板探测器开始在Mini C形臂上得到应⽤。
CMOS探测器的低剂量DQE⽐影像增强器⾼,在图像质量上⾼于⾮晶硅平板和影像增强器。
但是由于价格昂贵,由⼀⽚8英⼨晶圆制作的⼩尺⼨(13cmx13cm、15cmx12cm)的CMOS探测器最早是⽤在⼯业探伤、⽛科成像以及mini C形臂领域。
随着技术的进步,⼤约在2016年,20cm和30cm⼤尺⼨CMOS探测器才由GE OEC开始⽤到移动C形臂上。
现在⼀块20cm的⾮晶硅平板探测器价格已经⾮常接近⼀个影像增强器配上⼀个主流的百万像素CCD相机价格。
⾮晶硅平板探测器尽管低剂量DQE差,在脊柱成像上不如增强器。
⼀台⾮晶硅平板C臂的成本和⼀台影像增强器C臂成本差不多,但是售价⾮常⾼。
在2019年,两⼤影像增强器供商之⼀的法国泰雷兹公司宣布停产影像增强器,吹响了⽤平板探测器全⾯取代影像增强器的号⾓;同时,在利益驱动下,许多公司⼀起推动,⾮晶硅平板C形臂在国内开始普及。
CMOS平板探测器价钱昂贵,相同尺⼨的CMOS平板探测器价格是⾮晶硅平板探测器的3-4倍,⼀开始只有少部分⼚家使⽤,最近越来越多的⼤⼚采⽤CMOS探测器,例如GE的晶智和晶锐、西门⼦的Spin和Cios Alpha、奇⽬的多款C臂、还有联影的C形臂等等。
CMOS平板探测器和⾮晶硅平板探测器相⽐,具有低剂量DQE⾼(⽂献1、⽂献4)、可以全分辨率下获得全帧率图像(⽂献3)、拖尾⼩(⽂献2)。
由西门⼦公司和霍普⾦斯医学院合作的研究(⽂献6),对⽐了30cm的CMOS探测器和⾮晶硅探测器在透视成像和3D成像上的性能:CMOS探测器的噪声⽐⾮晶硅探测器低2-3倍;单帧剂量低于50nGy时,CMOS的DQE更⾼。
四种鼠标类型的优缺点第一种:普通光电鼠标定位原理:红光侧面照射,棱镜正面捕捉图像变化。
优缺点:成本低,足以应付日常用途,对反射表面要求较高,所以购买使用还是要配个合适的鼠标垫(偏深色、非单色、勿镜面较为理想),缺点是分辨率相对较低。
分辨率典型值:1000dpi,正常范围800-2500dpi。
光电鼠标器是通过红外线或激光检测鼠标器的位移,将位移信号转换为电脉冲信号,再通过程序的处理和转换来控制屏幕上的光标箭头的移动的一种硬件设备。
光电鼠标的光电传感器取代了传统的滚球。
这类传感器需要与特制的、带有条纹或点状图案的垫板配合使用。
第二种:激光鼠标定位原理:激光侧面照射,棱镜侧面接收优缺点:成本高,虽然激光鼠标分辨率相当的高,对反射表面要求低,也就是对激光鼠标垫的要求很低,但是也并非传说中的无所不能,还是配个合适的鼠标垫为好。
激光鼠标具有很高的分辨率,实际上价格并非贵的离谱,主要是因为这个东西可以山寨,而且鼠标真正的成本是花费在无线收发器和模具上,缺点暂时没发现。
分辨率典型值:5000dpi,也有小于2000分辨率的低端产品激光鼠标其实也是光电鼠标,只不过是用激光代替了普通的LED光。
好处是可以通过更多的表面,因为激光是 Coherent Light(相干光),几乎单一的波长,即使经过长距离的传播依然能保持其强点击此处添加图片说明度和波形;而LED 光则是Incoherent Light(非相干光)。
第三种:蓝光鼠标定位原理:蓝光侧面照射,棱镜正面捕捉图像变化。
优缺点:成本低,日常用途,蓝光鼠标看起来比较醒目,实际上个人感觉LED蓝色对眼睛并不友好,反而没红色更耐看一些,蓝光鼠标对反射表面的适应性比传统的红色似乎要好一些,但并不明显。
缺点分辨率较低。
分辨率典型值:1000dpi,正常范围800-2500dpi。
蓝光机理跟普通光电(红光)机理类似。
蓝光鼠标特点是采用“Blue Track”技术使用蓝光光束传感器,光束尺寸为传统光电鼠的四倍,集成了跟踪传感器,利用蓝色的LED配合着特殊的镜头来捕捉位移,可在地毯和花岗石板等一系列材料表面上使用。

In order to avoid the image lagassociated with soft reset, reduce this voltage to3…3.5V "hard reset")VDD_RESL Reset power supply5VSensor ArchitectureThe base line of the STAR250 sensor design consists of an imager with a 512 by 512 array of active pixels at 25 µm pitch. The detector contains on-chip correction for Fixed Pattern Noise (FPN) in the column amplifiers, a programmable gain output amplifier and a 10-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). Through additional preset registers the start position of a window can be programmed to enable fast read out of only part of the detector array.Pixel StructureThe image sensor consists of several building blocks as outlined in Figure 6. The central element is a 512 by 512 pixel array with square pixels at 25 µm pitch. Unlike classical designs, the pixels of this sensor contain four photodiodes. This configuration enhances the MTF and reduces the PRNU. Figure 7. shows an electrical diagram of the pixel structure. The four photodiodes are connected in parallel to the reset transistor (T1). Transistor T2 converts the charge, collected on the photo diode node, to a voltage signal that is connected to the column bus by T3. The Reset and the Read entrance of the pixel are connected to one of the Y shift registers.Shift RegistersThe shift registers are located next to the pixel array and contain as many outputs as the number of rows in the pixel array. They are designed as "1-hot" registers, (YL and YR shift register) each allowing selection of one row of pixels at a time.A clock pulse moves the pointer one position down the register resulting in the selection of every individual row for either reset or for readout. The spatial offset between the two selected rows determines the integration time. A synchronization pulse to the shift registers loads the value from a preset register into the shift register forcing the pointer to a predetermined position. Windowing in the vertical (Y) direction is achieved by presetting the registers to a row that is not the first row and by clocking out only the required number of rows.Column AmplifiersAll outputs from the pixels in a column are connected in parallel to a column amplifier. This amplifier samples the output voltage and the reset level of the pixel whose row is selected at that moment and presents these voltage levels to the output amplifier. As a result, the pixels are always reset immediately after readout as part of the sample procedure and the maximum integration time of a pixel is the time between two read cycles.Electronic ShutterIn a linescan integrating imager with electronic shutter, there are two continuous processes of image gathering.The first process resets lines in a progressive scan. At line reset, all the pixels in a line are drained from any photo charges collected since their last reset or readout. After reset, a new exposure cycle starts for that particular line.The second process is the actual readout, which also happens in an equally fast linewise progressive scan.During readout, the photo charges collected since the previous reset are converted into an output voltage. This is then passed on pixel by pixel to the imager's pixel serial output and ADC. Readout is destructive, meaning the accumulation of charges from successive exposure phases is not possible in the present architecture.The STAR250 has two Y- shift registers; YL and YR. One is used for readout of a line (YL) and the other is used to reset a line (YR). The integration time is equal to the time between the last reset and the readout of that line, see Figure 8. The integration time is thus equal to:Integration time = (Nr. Lines * (RBT + pixel period * Nr. Pixels)) with:•Nr. Lines: Number of Lines between readout and reset (Y).•Nr. Pixels: Number of pixels read out each line (X).•RBT: Row Blanking Time = 3.2 µs (typical).•Pixel period: 1/8 MHz = 125 ns (typical).Programmable Gain AmplifierThe signal from the column amplifiers is fed to an output amplifier with four presettable gains (adjustable with pins G0 and G1). The offset correction of this amplifier is done through a black reference procedure. The signal from the output amplifier is externally available on the analog output terminator of the device.Analog-to-Digital ConverterThe on-chip 10-bit ADC is electrically separated from the other circuits of the device. The ADC conversion range is set by the voltages on VLOW_ADC (pin 47) and VHIGH_ADC (pin 70). Make voltages on these pins equal to about 2V on VLOW_ADC and 4V on VHIGH_ADC. The voltages are set by connecting VLOW with 1.2kΩ to GND and VHIGH_ADC with 560Ω to VDD. This way, a resistor ladder is created as shown in Figure 9.The internal ADC resistance varies according to temperature. The resistance value increases approximately 4.4 Ω/°C with increasing temperature. If the ADC range is set externally with resistors, the conversion range may vary with temperature. This effect is cancelled out by not making use of resistors but directly applying voltages on VLOW_ADC and VHIGH_ADC. Timing and Readout of the Image Sensor Image Readout ProcedureA preamble or initialization phase is irrelevant. The sensor is read out continuously. The first frame is generally saturated and useless because there is no preceding reset of each pixel.Image ReadoutIn an infinite uninterrupted loop, follow these steps line-by-line: 1.Synchronize the read (YL) and/or reset (YR) registers, inthis cases:•SYNC_YL - to reinitiate the readout sequence to rowposition Y1•SYNC_YR - to reinitiate the reset pointer to row position Y1For all other lines do not pulse one of these SYNC_Y signals.2.Operate the double sampling column amplifiers with twoRESETs. Apply one to reset the line that is currentlyselected to produce the reset reference level for the double sampling column amplifiers. Apply the other reset toanother line depending on the required integration time reduction.3.Perform a Line Readout:Reset the X read address shift register to the value in its shadow register (X1).Perform a pixel readout operation, operating the track/hold and the ADC.Shift the X read address shift register one position further. Shift the Y read and reset address shift registers one position further. If either of Y read or reset address shift register comes to the end of the pixel array (or the ROI), wrap it around to the start position by pulsing SYNC_YL.Readout TimingThe actual line readout process starts with addressing the line to read. This is done either by initializing the YL pointer with a new value, or by shifting it one position beyond its previous value. (Addressing the line has reset, YR is done in an analogous fashion). During the "blanking time", after the new line is addressed on the sensor, the built-in column-parallel double sampling amplifiers are operated. This renders offset-corrected values of the line under readout.After the blanking time the pixels of the row addressed by YL are read by multiplexing all the pixels one by one to the serial output chain. The pixel is selected by the X pointer, and that pointer is either initialized with a new value or an increment of the previous position.The time between row resets and their corresponding row readouts is the effective exposure time (or integration time). This time is proportional to the number of lines (DelayLines) between the line currently under reset and the line currently under readout: DelayLines = (YR - YL+1). This time is also equal to the delay between the SYNC_YR pulse and the subsequent SYNC_YR.The effective integration time tint is calculated as delaylines * line time. The line time itself is a function of four terms: the time to output the desired number of pixels in the line (Wframe), and the overhead ("blanking") time that is needed to select an new line and perform the double sampling and reset operations.SYNC_YR is not identical to as SYNC_YL. SYNC_YR is used in case of electronic shutter operation. The CLK_YR is driven identically as CLK_YL, but the SYNC_YR pulse leads the SYNC_YL pulse by a certain number of rows. This lead time is the effective integration (electronic shutter ~) time. Relative to the row timing, both SYNC pulses are given at the same time position, once for each frame, but during different rows. SYNC_YL is pulsed when the first row is read out and SYNC_YR is pulsed for the electronic shutter to start for this first row. CAL is pulsed on the first row too, 2 µs later than SYNC_YL.The minimal idle time is 1.4 µs (before starting reading pixels). However, do not read out pixels during the complete row initial-ization process (in between the rising edge on S and the falling edge on L/R). In this case, the total idle time is minimal. This timing assumes that the Y start register was loaded in advance, which can occur at any time but before the pulse on SYNC_YL or SYNC_YR.Table 7.Readout Timing SpecificationsSymbol Min Typ DescriptionT1 1.8 µs Delay between selection of new row by falling edge on CLK_YL and falling edge on S.Minimal value. Normally, CLK_YR is low already at the end of the previous sequence.T2 1.8 µs Delay between selection of new a row by SYNC_YL and falling edge on S.T30.4 µs Duration of S and R pulse.T40.1 µs Duration of RESET pulse.T5T4 + 40 ns0.3 µs L/R pulse must overlap second RESET pulse at both sides.Loading the X- and Y- Start PositionsThe start positions (start addresses) for "ROI" (Region Of Interest) are preloaded in the X or Y start register. They become effective by the application of the SYNC_X,SYNC_YL and/or SYNC_YR. The start X- or Y address must be applied to their common address bus, and the corresponding LD_X or LD_Y pin must be pulsed.On each falling edge of CLK_X, a new pixel of the same row (line) is accessed. The output stage is in hold when CLK_X is low and starts generating a new output after a rising edge on CLK_X.The following timing constraints apply:Load the X or Y start addresses in advance, before the X or Y shift registers are preset by a SYNC pulse. However, if necessary, they can be load just before the SYNC_X or SYNC_Y pulse as shown in the Figure 11.E.g. the X start register can be loaded during the row idle time.The Y start register can be loaded during readout of the last row of the previous frame.If the X or Y start address does not change for later frames, it does not need to be reloaded in the register.T60.8 µs Delay between falling edge on RESET and falling edge on R.T720 ns 0.1 µs Delay between falling edge on S and rising edge on RESET.

This signal was added for diagnostic reasons and inhibits the pixel array operation when held low.The CAL signal sets the output amplifier DC offset level. When this signal is active (high) the pixel array is internally disconnected from the output amplifier, its gain is set to unity and its input signal is connected to the BLACK_REF input. Perform this action at least once for each frame.EOS_X, EOS_YL and EOS_YR produce a pulse when the respective shift register comes at its end. These outputs are used mainly during testing to verify proper operation of the shift registers.TEST DIODE and TESTPIXEL ARRAY are connections to optical test structures that are used for electro optical evaluation. TESTDIODE is a plain photodiode with an area of 14x5 pixels. TESTPIXEL_ARRAY is an array (14x5) of pixels where the photodiodes are connected in parallel. These structures measure the photocurrent of the diodes directly. TESTPIXEL_RESET and TESTPIXEL-OUT are connections to a single pixel that are used for testing.PinlistTable 8.Power Supply ConnectionsPin Pin Name Pin Description10VDD_ANA Analog power supply 5V.11VDD_DIG Digital power supply 5V.31VDD_AMP Power supply of output amplifier 5V.33VDD_DIG Digital power supply 5V.34VDD_ANA Analogue power supply 5V.49VDD_RESR Reset power supply 5V.50VDD_DIG Digital power supply 5V.53VDD_ADC_ANA ADC analogue power supply 5V.66VDD_ADC_ANA ADC analogue power supply 5V.67VDD_ADC_DIG ADC digital power supply 5V.69VDD_ADC_DIG_3.3/5ADC 3.3V power supply for digital output of ADC.For interface with 5V external system: connect to VDD_ADC_DIG.For interface with 3.3 V external system: connect to 3.3V power supply.52 76VDD_PIX Pixel array power supply [default: 5V, the device is then in "soft reset".

前言:键盘鼠标是大家每天接触最多的电脑配件之一,作为最主要的输入工具,键鼠早已是每部电脑不可或缺的一部分。
另外,还有为数不少的外设爱好者,喜欢各种精美的键鼠,常常活跃在外设论坛。
于是,我们经常听到DPI、FPS等等关于键鼠的术语,到底它们代表什么意思呢?今天我们就一起来次大充电吧!一、各类鼠标引擎工作原理传统光学鼠标的工作原理传统光学鼠标工作原理示意图光学跟踪引擎部分横界面示意图光学鼠标主要由四部分的核心组件构成,分别是发光二极管、透镜组件、光学引擎(Optical Engine)以及控制芯片组成。
光学鼠标通过底部的LED灯,灯光以30度角射向桌面,照射出粗糙的表面所产生的阴影,然后再通过帄面的折射透过另外一块透镜反馈到传感器上。
什么是激光鼠标?学过物理学的朋友都知道,光具有波粒二象性,干涉和衍射特性就是激光鼠标产生的灵感和起源。
激光鼠标其实也是光电鼠标,只不过是用激光代替了普通的LED光〃好处是可以通过更多的表面,因为激光是Coherent Light(相干光),几乎单一的波长,即使经过长距离的传播依然能保持其强度和波形;而LED 光则是Incoherent Light(非相干光)。
激光鼠标传感器获得影像的过程是根据,激光照射在物体表面所产生的干涉条纹而形成的光斑点反射到传感器上获得的,而传统的光学鼠标是通过照射粗糙的表面所产生的阴影来获得。
因此激光能对表面的图像产生更大的反差,从而使得“CMOS成像传感器”得到的图像更容易辨别,提高鼠标的定位精准性。
罗技“DARK FIELD”无界激光引擎罗技“DARK FIELD”无界激光引擎罗技Darkfield无界技术采用暗视野显微来探测表面上的微观颗粒和微小的划痕,而不是追踪表面本身。
与我们的眼睛能够看清夜晚的天空一样,鼠标的传感器将洁净的玻璃视为有着许多亮点的黑色背景,而这些亮点就是灰尘。
然后,传感器能够通过这些点的运动精确追踪鼠标的移动。

2017年,Wen-Sheng等人[2]提出了一种用于变温系统中光探测器的暗电流抑制技术。
CMOS温度传感器的优点包括体积小、成本低、性能高,且易于批量生产。
在众多工业应用中,温度传感器可在-30~125 ℃的宽温度范围内工作[3]。
通常使用双极型和金属氧化物半导体(MOS)晶体管来实现片上传感器,例如温度传感器[4]。
在双极型晶体管中,基极-发射极电压与饱和电流用于提取基本信号。
而在MOS晶体管的情况下,基本信号来源于阈值电压和迁移率。
然而,温度传感器的大部分电路均是由双极晶体管使用的,因双极晶体管的温度特性比MOS晶体管更好[5]。

Back in 1968, a computer scientist named Alan Kay proposed that with advances in flat-panel display technology, user interfaces, miniaturization of computer components and some experimental work in WiFi technology, you could develop an all-in-one computing device. He developed the idea further, suggesting that such a device would be perfect as an educational tool for schoolchildren. In 1972, he published a paper about the device and called it the Dynabook.The sketches of the Dynabook show a device very similar to the tablet computers we have today, with a couple of exceptions. The Dynabook had both a screen and a keyboard all on the same plane. But Key's vision went even further. He predicted that with the right touch-screen technology, you could do away with the physical keyboard and display a virtual keyboard in any configuration on the screen itself.Key was ahead of his time. It would take nearly four decades before a tablet similar to the one he imagined took the public by storm. But that doesn't mean there were no tablet computers on the market between the Dynabook concept and Apple's famed iPad.One early tablet was the GRiDPad. First produced in 1989, the GRiDPad included a monochromatic capacitance touch screen and a wired stylus. It weighed just under 5 pounds (2.26 kilograms). Compared to today's tablets, the GRiDPad was bulky and heavy, with a short battery life of only three hours. The man behind the GRiDPad was Jeff Hawkins, who later founded Palm.Other pen-based tablet computers followed but none received much support from the public. Apple first entered the tablet battlefield with the Newton, a device that's received equal amounts of love and ridicule over the years. Much of the criticism for the Newton focuses on its handwriting-recognition software.It really wasn't until Steve Jobs revealed the first iPad to an eager crowd that tablet computers became a viable consumer product. Today, companies like Apple, Google, Microsoft and HP are trying to predict consumer needs while designing the next generation of tablet devices.C.2 A Brief History of satellite communicationIn an article in Wireless World in 1945, Arthur C. Clarke proposed the idea of placing satellites in geostationary orbit around Earth such that three equally spaced satellites could provide worldwide coverage. However, it was not until 1957 that the Soviet Union launched the first satellite Sputnik 1, which was followed in early 1958 by the U.S. Army’s Explorer 1. Both Sputnik and Explorer transmitted telemetry information.The first communications satellite, the Signal Communicating Orbit Repeater Experiment (SCORE), was launched in 1958 by the U.S. Air Force. SCORE was a delayed-repeater satellite, which received signals from Earth at 150 MHz and stored them on tape for later retransmission. A further experimental communication satellite, Echo 1, was launched on August 12, 1960 and placed into inclined orbit at about 1500 km above Earth. Echo 1 was an aluminized plastic balloon with a diameter of 30 m and a weight of 75.3 kg. Echo 1 successfully demonstrated the first two-way voice communications by satellite.On October 4, 1960, the U.S. Department of Defense launched Courier into an elliptical orbit between 956 and 1240 km, with a period of 107 min. Although Courier lasted only 17 days, it was used for real-time voice, data, and facsimile transmission. The satellite also had five tape recorders onboard; four were used for delayed repetition of digital information, and the other for delayed repetition of analog messages.Direct-repeated satellite transmission began with the launch of Telstar I on July 10, 1962. Telstar I was an 87-cm, 80-kg sphere placed in low-Earth orbit between 960 and 6140 km, with an orbital period of 158 min. Telstar I was the first satellite to be able to transmit and receive simultaneously and was used for experimental telephone, image, and television transmission. However, on February 21, 1963, Telstar I suffered damage caused by the newly discovered Van Allen belts.Telstar II was made more radiation resistant and was launched on May 7, 1963. Telstar II was a straight repeater with a 6.5-GHz uplink and a 4.1-GHz downlink. The satellite power amplifier used a specially developed 2-W traveling wave tube. Along with its other capabilities, the broadband amplifier was able to relay color TV transmissions. The first successful trans-Atlantic transmission of video was accomplished with Telstar II , which also incorporated radiation measurements and experiments that exposed semiconductor components to space radiation.The first satellites placed in geostationary orbit were the synchronous communication (SYNCOM ) satellites launched by NASA in 1963. SYNCOM I failed on injection into orbit. However, SYNCOM II was successfully launched on July 26, 1964 and provided telephone, teletype, and facsimile transmission. SYNCOM III was launched on August 19, 1964 and transmitted TV pictures from the Tokyo Olympics. The International Telecommunications by Satellite (INTELSAT) consortium was founded in July 1964 with the charter to design, construct, establish, and maintain the operation of a global commercial communications system on a nondiscriminatory basis. The INTELSAT network started with the launch on April 6, 1965, of INTELSAT I, also called Early Bird. On June 28, 1965, INTELSAT I began providing 240 commercial international telephone channels as well as TV transmission between the United States and Europe.In 1979, INMARSAT established a third global system. In 1995, the INMARSAT name was changed to the International Mobile Satellite Organization to reflect the fact that the organization had evolved to become the only provider of global mobile satellite communications at sea, in the air, and on the land.Early telecommunication satellites were mainly used for long-distance continental and intercontinental broadband, narrowband, and TV transmission. With the advent of broadband optical fiber transmission, satellite services shifted focus to TV distribution, and to point-to-multipoint and very small aperture terminal (VSAT) applications. Satellite transmission is currently undergoing further significant growth with the introduction of mobile satellite systems for personal communications and fixed satellite systems for broadband data transmission.C.3 SmartphonesThink of a daily task, any daily task, and it's likely there's a specialized, pocket-sized device designed to help you accomplish it. You can get a separate, tiny and powerful machine to make phone calls, keep your calendar and address book, entertain you, play your music, give directions, take pictures, check your e-mail, and do countless other things. But how many pockets do you have? Handheld devices become as clunky as a room-sized supercomputer when you have to carry four of them around with you every day.A smartphone is one device that can take care of all of your handheld computing and communication needs in a single, small package. It's not so much a distinct class of products as it is a different set of standards for cell phones to live up to.Unlike many traditional cell phones, smartphones allow individual users to install, configure and run applications of their choosing. A smartphone offers the ability to conform the device to your particular way of doing things. Most standard cell-phone software offers only limited choices for re-configuration, forcing you to adapt to the way it's set up. On a standard phone, whether or not you like the built-in calendar application, you are stuck with it except for a few minor tweaks. If that phone were a smartphone, you could install any compatible calendar application you like.Here's a list of some of the things smartphones can do:•Send and receive mobile phone calls•Personal Information Management (PIM) including notes, calendar and to-do list•Communication with laptop or desktop computers•Data synchronization with applications like Microsoft Outlook•E-mail•Instant messaging•Applications such as word processing programs or video games•Play audio and video files in some standard formatsC.4 Analog, Digital and HDTVFor years, watching TV has involved analog signals and cathode ray tube (CRT) sets. The signal is made of continually varying radio waves that the TV translates into a picture and sound. An analog signal can reach a person's TV over the air, through a cable or via satellite. Digital signals, like the ones from DVD players, are converted to analog when played on traditional TVs.This system has worked pretty well for a long time, but it has some limitations:•Conventional CRT sets display around 480 visible lines of pixels. Broadcasters have been sending signals that work well with this resolution for years, and they can't fit enough resolution to fill a huge television into the analog signal.•Analog pictures are interlaced - a CRT's electron gun paints only half the lines for each pass down the screen. On some TVs, interlacing makes the picture flicker.•Converting video to analog format lowers its quality.United States broadcasting is currently changing to digital television (DTV). A digital signal transmits the information for video and sound as ones and zeros instead of as a wave. For over-the-air broadcasting, DTV will generally use the UHF portion of the radio spectrum with a 6 MHz bandwidth, just like analog TV signals do.DTV has several advantages:•The picture, even when displayed on a small TV, is better quality.• A digital signal can support a higher resolution, so the picture will still look good when shown on a larger TV screen.•The video can be progressive rather than interlaced - the screen shows the entire picture for every frame instead of every other line of pixels.•TV stations can broadcast several signals using the same bandwidth. This is called multicasting.•If broadcasters choose to, they can include interactive content or additional information with the DTV signal.•It can support high-definition (HDTV) broadcasts.DTV also has one really big disadvantage: Analog TVs can't decode and display digital signals. When analog broadcasting ends, you'll only be able to watch TV on your trusty old set if you have cable or satellite service transmitting analog signals or if you have a set-top digital converter.C.5 SoCThe semiconductor industry has continued to make impressive improvements in the achievable density of very large-scale integrated (VLSI) circuits. In order to keep pace with the levels of integration available, design engineers have developed new methodologies and techniques to manage the increased complexity inherent in these large chips. One such emerging methodology is system-on-chip (SoC) design, wherein predesigned and pre-verified blocks often called intellectual property (IP) blocks, IP cores, or virtual components are obtained from internal sources, or third parties, and combined on a single chip.These reusable IP cores may include embedded processors, memory blocks, interface blocks, analog blocks, and components that handle application specific processing functions. Corresponding software components are also provided in a reusable form and may include real-time operating systems and kernels, library functions, and device drivers.Large productivity gains can be achieved using this SoC/IP approach. In fact, rather than implementing each of these components separately, the role of the SoC designer is to integrate them onto a chip to implement complex functions in a relatively short amount of time.The integration process involves connecting the IP blocks to the communication network, implementing design-for-test (DFT) techniques and using methodologies to verify and validate the overall system-level design. Even larger productivity gains are possible if the system is architected as a platform in such as way that derivative designs can be generated quickly.In the past, the concept of SoC simply implied higher and higher levels of integration. That is, it was viewed as migrating a multichip system-on-board (SoB) to a single chip containing digital logic, memory, analog/mixed signal, and RF blocks. The primary drivers for this direction were the reduction of power, smaller form factor, and lower overall cost. It is important to recognize that integrating more and more functionality on a chip has always existed as a trend by virtue of Moore’s Law, which predicts that the number of transistors on a chip will double every 18-24 months. The challenge is to increase designer productivity to keep pace with Moore’s Law. Therefore, today’s notion of SoC is defined in terms of overall productivity gains through reusable design and integration of components.。
