A high-sensitivity CMOS image sensor with gain-adaptive column amplifiers
2005
A high-sensitivity CMOS image sensor using gain-adaptive column amplifiers is presented and tested. The use of high gain for the column amplifier reduces input-referred random noise, and when coupled with a column-based digital noise cancellation technique, also reduces fixed pattern noise. An experimental application of the circuit using 0.25-/spl mu/m CMOS technology with pinned photodiodes gave an rms random noise of 263 /spl mu/V and an rms fixed pattern noise of 50 /spl mu/V.
