High-Speed Digital Double Sampling with Analog CDS on Column Parallel ADC Architecture for Low-Noise Active Pixel Sensor

Abstract: Traditionally, the advantages of compact image sensors (CISs) over CCDs have been low power consumption and the capability for system integration. Additionally, the image quality of CISs has recently begun to rival and even surpass that of CCDs in the area of high-speed imaging [1]. Compared to high-speed CCDs, CISs utilize the advantage of a column-parallel pixel readout. Column-parallel ADCs allow for low-bandwidth readouts. This is a key advantage over wide-bandwidth single-output amplifiers in CCDs or sing… Show more

“…Among many kinds of column parallel ADCs, SingleSlope ADC (SS-ADC) is mostly adopted at each column of CIS due to its small chip area and low power consumption [1][2][3][4][5][6]. However, since the conversion speed of SS-ADC is very slow, the frame rate of CIS is also very low.…”

“…When used in combination of analog CDS with a column amplifier, noise components of the pixel and the column amplifier can be removed simultaneously. The 1.77 megapixel imager with the PLL, which generates a 2.4 GHz clock signal, achieved a frame rate of 120 fps and data transfer rate of 34.8 Gbps in 2011 [17,18]. Cyclic ADCs (which repeatedly use one unit of a pipelined ADC) and SAR ADCs have also been used in high-speed column ADCs.…”

“…Correlated double sampling (CDS) has been widely employed to reduce FPN due to mismatches of columns and transistors [1][2][3][4][5]. There are three types of CDS: analog CDS using the capacitors and switches in front of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) [2,3], digital CDS with double counting of reset and readout signals [4], and dual CDS which employs both analog and digital CDS schemes [5]. The digital CDS suppresses FPN more precisely than the analog CDS, although it requires additional analog-to-digital conversion time for sensing the reset voltage.…”
