    Abstract: A plurality of sampled outputs Y H1 , Y H2 which differ in phase by 2π/N from one another are mixed together. The sampled outputs are sequentially supplied by a switch 63 to a holding circuit 64, 65 whereby the deterioration of the high frequency characteristic of the synthesized output signal due to low-pass filter effects stemming from the zero hold in the sample/hold circuit can be prevented.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To prevent deterioration in the signal accuracy of an absolute black level of an optical black waveform portion by inserting a replacement black waveform part representing a relative black level into a video signal in addition to the optical black waveform portion representing an absolute black level. CONSTITUTION:A replacement black waveform portion W24 representing a relative black level is inserted to a video signal in addition to an optical black waveform portion W22 representing an absolute black level by utilizing horizontal blanking line feedback. Thus, since a signal level of the replacement black waveform portion W24 is clamped as to a signal processing stage executing the signal processing based on the relative black level actually, the opportunity of causing noise to the absolute black level or making dirt in the optical black waveform portion W22 is less. Thus, the signal accuracy of the absolute black level is not deteriorated and a video signal with excellent picture quality is sent from a camera.

    Abstract: PURPOSE:To have a correct control characteristic in the gain control amplifier to give to a pair of inputs of the succeeding differential amplifier after a pair of output electric currents of the preceding differential amplifier is received by a PN junction by having a constant electric current load at the output part in the preceding differential amplifier. CONSTITUTION:After a pair of output electric currents of a preceding differential amplifier 1 are received by the PN junction (diodes D1 and d2), the current is given to a pair of inputs of a succeeding differential amplifier 2. A direct current electric current I0 overlapped to the PN junctions D1 and D2 is made variable and the gain is controlled. The preceding differential amplifier 1 is provided with a constant electric current load (I0+I1) at the output part. In an output point A(A') of the amplifier 1, the signal electric current, which flows at the amplifier side, is +x, and then the electric current, which flows at the A point, is constant (I0+I1), Therefore, the signal electric current, which flows from an A point to the outside, goes to be -x. The corresponding relation is never changed even when the direct current electric current I0 to control the gain for overlapping to the PN junction (D1 and D2) is made variable. Consequently, when I0 is made variable, the proportional relation of the resistance of the PN junction and the amplifier gain goes to be completely of a straight line system.

    CONSTITUTION: A luminance signal of a video camera from a signal input terminal 11 of a luminance signal processing device is added to a dark clip circuit 12 and an LPF 15 and clipped by a circuit 12 at a low luminance level, and the output is added to an HPF 13. The outputs of the HPF 13 and LPF 15 are synthesized by a synthesizing circuit 14 and the luminance signal is outputted from an output terminal 16. At the high level of the luminance signal, the high and low area components of the luminance signal from the HPF 13 and LPF 15 are synthesized and outputted. At the low level of the luminance signal, the level of the luminance signal is clipped by the circuit 12 to eliminate the high area component from HPF 13, output the low component from the LPF 15 only and change the band area of the luminance signal at the level of the luminance signal.

SOLUTION: A coordinate value generating section 12 of a quadratic curved face function generator 11 uses a horizontal synchronizing signal HD as a reset signal to count a clock signal CK, so as to obtain a coordinate value X in the horizontal direction and a coordinate value generating section 13 uses a sensor gate pulse SG of an imaging device as a reset signal to count a vertical transfer pulse VCLK of the image pickup device and to obtain a coordinate value Y. A quadratic curved face arithmetic section 14 calculates a shading correction coefficient COE corresponding to the coordinate values, X, Y, by using a quadratic curved face function coefficient fR (X, Y) and a multiplier 17 which is the component of a correction amplifier 16, multiplies an image pick-up signal outputted from the image pickup device by the shading correction coefficient COE to apply shading correction to the image pickup signal.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To expand the operation range of in-phase input in a comparatively simple configuration by respectively connecting one and the other input terminals through a DC shift circuit to one and the other input terminals of plural error amplifiers and mutually connecting the output terminals of these plural error amplifiers. SOLUTION: This circuit is provided with (n) pieces of error amplifiers 101 -10n . Then, input terminals 1a and 1b on one side and the other side to supply signals are respectively connected through DC shift circuits 121 -12n and 141 -14n to the input terminals of these (n) pieces of error amplifiers 101 -10n on one side and the other side. At the same time, the output terminals of these (n) pieces of error amplifiers 101 -10n are parallelly connected so as to lead out output terminals 11a and 11b. Thus, the operation range of the in-phase input to this error amplifier becomes the sum of operation ranges of in-phase input to these (n) pieces of error amplifiers 101 -10n and the wide operation range of in-phase input can be achieved.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sample and hold circuit that can reduce the power consumption by arbitrarily setting slew rate characteristics being suitable for the operating frequency of a CCD image pickup element. SOLUTION: During a sample period when an S/H pulse is set to a low level, a charge current I is supplied to a hold capacitor 13 at a comparator part 12, the capacitor 13 is charged until the voltage across the hold capacitor 13 reaches an input voltage Vin. On the other hand, during a hold period when the S/H pulse is set to a high level, the charge of the hold capacitor 13 is retained. Then, a control current Icont is controlled by a control voltage Vcont being given from an external variable current power supply 18, and a current value I of the charge current is varied externally, thus arbitrarily adjusting slew rate characteristics.
