Abstract:
PURPOSE: An image sensor and an image processing system having the same are provided to regulate a supplied power and an input voltage with a voltage regulating circuit having a replica inverter of which the structure is identical to the structures of inverters in the delta-sigma modulator of a delta-sigma analog-digital converter. CONSTITUTION: An image sensor includes delta-sigma analog-digital converters (510-5n0) and a voltage regulating circuit (100). The delta-sigma analog-digital converter has a delta-sigma modulator implementing a delta-sigma modulation on an analog signal from a unit pixel, and converts the analog signal into a digital signal. The voltage regulating circuit has a replica inverter of which the structure is identical to the structure of at least one inverter in the delta-sigma modulator, and regulates a power and an input voltage supplied to the at least one inverter based on an electric current flowing in the replica inverter.

Abstract:
The present invention provides an image sensor and a photographing device including the same. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the image sensor includes first and second pixels which are controlled individually and can output first and second data individually according to an electric signal which the first and second pixels output. Also, the photographing device according to an embodiment of the present invention can determine whether the image is displayed or a subject is in focus based on the first data.
