spaltenausleseschaltung with increased bildsignalbereich for cmos image sensor

摘要

A column readout circuit for a CMOS image sensor is disclosed. The circuit uses MOS capacitors to store a photo signal and a reset signal. Correlated double sampling is used to eliminate fixed pattern noise and 1/f noise. Additionally, the signals are coupled through the capacitors using AC coupling. In this manner, a readout circuit compatible with conventional CMOS logic processes can be manufactured. IMAGE
