A Fast Multiple Sampling Method for Low-Noise CMOS Image Sensors With Column-Parallel 12-bit SAR ADCs
This paper presents a fast multiple sampling method for low-noise CMOS image sensor (CIS) applications with column-parallel successive approximation register analog-to-digital converters (SAR ADCs). The 12-bit SAR ADC using the proposed multiple sampling method decreases the A/D conversion time by repeatedly converting a pixel output to 4-bit after the first 12-bit A/D conversion, reducing nois...
متن کاملColumn-parallel Single-slope Adcs for Cmos Image Sensors
In recent years, CMOS imagers have evolved as the imaging technology of choice for high volume mobile applications. The ever-increasing resolution of such imagers has had a profound impact on the analog readout electronics, and, in particular, the ADC architecture. This paper gives an overview of the development of column-parallel ADCs that enable the high-speed, power-efficient readout of high...

متن کاملA Wide Dynamic Range CMOS Image Sensor with an Adjustable Logarithmic Response
A wide dynamic image CMOS image sensor with a user adjustable logarithmic photo-response is presented. A pMOS switch and a time-dependent reference voltage are integrated into a three-transistor (3T) pixel structure to implement a logarithmic response. Several pixels have been manufactured using a 0.25μm standard CMOS technology. Compared to the conventional logarithmic response pixel based on ...
متن کاملA Wide Dynamic Range CMOS Digital Pixel Sensor
A CMOS image sensor with pixel level analog to digital conversion is presented. Each 13.8μm x 13.8μm pixel area contains a photodiode and a dynamic comparator using the maximum voltage swing available (0V 1.8V). The comparator does not need any bias current and is insensitive to fabrication process variations. Also a digital to analog converter (DAC) is used to deliver a voltage reference in or...
