He has made significant contributions to the field of imaging technology, particularly in the development of advanced pixel array systems. With a total of three patents to his name, Pearson's work has had a notable impact on the industry.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Row decoding scheme for double sampling in 3T pixel arrays." This invention is directed towards a method and apparatus that enables a 'rolling shutter' type of readout sequence in a pixel array. The technique utilizes a double sampling method by resetting the rows of pixels a second time during their cycles for a second sampling while the rows are being accessed for reading. This allows each pixel to be sampled to compare its voltage level after integration to its voltage level as it is reset. The invention is particularly applicable to image sensors with light-sensitive elements that are CMOS pixels, especially three-transistor pixels.
Another significant patent is the "Autoblank readout mode." This invention implements an automated blank time function that calculates horizontal and/or vertical blank time for a desired integration time and window size. Input data and control signals for predetermined integration time and window size are provided to a register interface, which generates configuration signals. These signals are then applied to machines that generate reset control signals and read control signals for controlling the imager.
