US Patent Issued to Gigajot Technology on Feb. 11 for "Image sensors with on-chip ADC data compression for multi-bit electron-number outputs" (California Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 12 -- United States Patent no. 12,225,316, issued on Feb. 11, was assigned to Gigajot Technology Inc. (Glendale, Calif.).

"Image sensors with on-chip ADC data compression for multi-bit electron-number outputs" was invented by Jiaju Ma (Monrovia, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An image sensor may a plurality of pixels, one or more analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) circuits, and at least one quantization circuit. The pixels may generate analog signals based on photoelectrons accumulated by the pixels when exposed to light. The ADC circuits may convert the analog signals to digital signals, wherein the digital signals may include (a) a first set of digital signals i...
