Abstract:
A light sensing cell comprising output means (T1, T2) for generating an output voltage depending on the voltage of a sensing node (2), the voltage of the sensing node varying as a function of a received light; a reset transistor (T3) operable to force the voltage of the sensing node (2) to a reset voltage; a feedback loop comprising an operational amplifier (A1) operable to add through a capacitive voltage divider (C3, C4) a correction voltage to the voltage of the sensing node (2), said correction voltage depending on the output voltage; and preset means (T5) for, during the operation of the reset transistor (T3) and until the amplifier (A1) is operated, setting the input of the capacitive voltage divider (C3, C4) to a predetermined voltage (Vinit).
