Imaging device and electronic device

An imager may include an imaging die that is stacked with an image processing die. The imaging die may generate output signals from received light. The image processing die may process the output signals. Through-silicon vias of the imaging die or solder balls may electrically couple the imaging die to the image processing die and convey the output signals to the image processing die. The imaging die may include a pixel array that generates pixel signals from the received light. The image processing die may generate control signals that control the imaging die and are conveyed to the imaging die over the through-silicon vias or solder balls.

A high side switch circuit includes a switch electrically connected between input and output terminals, a gate control unit, and an over-current sensor unit. The over-current sensor unit includes a resistive element and a comparator. The comparator senses an over-current if a voltage of the resistive element exceeds a threshold voltage. The comparator is adjusted in advance such that the detected voltage at the time of over-current exceeds the threshold voltage. Even if accuracy of resistance value of the resistive element is not high, accuracy of detecting over-current can be improved by adjusting the comparator.
