A method of generating a gain of an image frame according to a look up table of gain which is set up based on luminance sensitivity of human eyes is proposed. The method includes setting a gain of an image frame to 1, scanning images of a plurality of front rows of the image frame, averaging the images of the plurality of the front rows of the image frame to generate an average value of the images of the plurality of the front rows of the image frame, finding a gain from the look up table of gain according to the average value of the images of the plurality of the front rows of the image frame, and adjusting remaining rows of the image frame according to the gain to generate images of the remaining rows of the image frame.

A voltage generating apparatus is disclosed. The voltage generating apparatus includes a first N-type transistor and an enhancement MOSFET transistor. The first N-type transistor has a first drain/source coupled to a first voltage, a second drain/source generating a first output voltage, and a gate coupled to a second voltage. The enhancement MOSFET transistor has a first drain/source coupled to the second drain/source of the first N-type transistor, and a second drain/source and a gate coupled to a second voltage. The first N-type transistor is a depletion metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET).

In a phase locked loop (PLL), phase shifters shift a phase of an input signal. Based on the phases of the input signal, the shifted signals, and a frequency division output signal, phase frequency detectors (PFDs) generate phase difference signals. In response to the phase difference signals, charge pumps (CPs) control output voltages thereof. Based on the output voltages of the CPs, a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) outputs an output signal. A frequency divider divides the frequency of the output signal from the VCO to generate the frequency division output signal. A circulator outputs the frequency division output signal to one of the PFDs at a proper timing. A modulator reduces quantization errors of the frequency divider.

A layout of a power device is provided. The layout includes a substrate, a unit array, a plurality of first, second, third and fourth signal paths, and a first, second, third and fourth port. The unit array with a plurality of rows is disposed on the substrate. Each row of the unit array includes a plurality of units. The first and second signal paths on the substrate are disposed on a first side and a second side of corresponding odd-numbered rows of the unit array. The third and the fourth signal paths on the substrate are disposed above a corresponding row of the unit array. The first to fourth ports on the substrate are electrically connected to the first to fourth signal paths respectively.
