Analysis of Active Pixel Sensor Readout Circuit
This brief provides a detailed analysis of active pixel sensor, pixel and column circuit. Surprisingly, we find that shorter readout times can be achieved by reducing the bias current and hence reducing energy consumption. We investigate the effect of nonidealities on the readout operation. We find that when the follower transistor channel-length modulation is taken into consideration, delay is...
متن کاملHigh dynamic range hybrid pixel sensor
A new readout imaging system with enhanced dynamic range (DR) and low power consumption is presented. The DR is enhanced by using feedback to control the integration time of the sensor. The feedback is implemented within an in-pixel-level ADC. The power consumption is reduced by switching the bias circuit off when it is not needed for the system, this readout circuit is used for a hybrid sensor...
متن کاملAmorphous Silicon Active Pixel Sensor Readout Circuit for Digital Imaging
The most widely used architecture in large-area amorphous silicon (a-Si) flat panel imagers is a passive pixel sensor (PPS), which consists of a detector and a readout switch. While the PPS has the advantage of being compact and amenable toward high-resolution imaging, reading small PPS output signals requires external column charge amplifiers that produce additional noise and reduce the minimu...
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...
متن کاملACTIVE-EYES: an adaptive pixel-by-pixel image-segmentation sensor architecture for high-dynamic-range hyperspectral imaging.
The ACTIVE-EYES (adaptive control for thermal imagers via electro-optic elements to yield an enhanced sensor) architecture, an adaptive image-segmentation and processing architecture, based on digital micromirror (DMD) array technology, is described. The concept provides efficient front-end processing of multispectral image data by adaptively segmenting and routing portions of the scene data co...
