    Abstract: A noise-reduced capacitive sensing unit is disclosed. The noise-reduced capacitive sensing unit includes: a sensing plate; a first bias voltage source for providing a first bias voltage; a second bias voltage source for providing a second bias voltage; a switch unit, connected between two bias voltage sources and the sensing plate, for selectively providing one of the bias voltages to the sensing plate; an excitation signal source for providing a bi-level waveform; a reference capacitor, formed between the excitation signal source and the sensing plate, for injecting the excitation signal to the sensing plate; and a voltage follower for providing sensing results, wherein an input node of the voltage follower is connected to the sensing plate.

    Abstract: A capacitive image sensor and a method for running the capacitive image sensor are disclosed. The capacitive image sensor includes a number of capacitive sensing elements, forming an array, each capacitive sensing element for transforming a distance between a portion of a surface of an approaching finger and a top surface thereof into an output voltage, wherein a value of the output voltage is changed by a driving signal exerted on the finger; an A/D converter, for converting the output voltage into a number and outputting the number; and a signal source, for providing the driving signal to the finger.

    Abstract: An image sensing device that can adjust parameters of an image before sending it to a processor for reducing computing power and/or storage requirement is disclosed. The image sensing device includes an array of sensing pixels; an output amplifier; an analog-to-digital converter; a first set of registers and a second set of registers; an activation circuit; and a profiling logic. The profiling logic conducts statistical analysis on output data and adjusts parameters stored in the first set of registers until results of the statistical analysis reaches a target standard, wherein the adjusted parameters are used to generate an output image by each sensing pixel of the array of sensing pixels once the target standard is reached and a notification signal is sent to an external device for notifying the failure of parameter adjustment if the target standard fails to be reached within a predetermined times of adjustment.
