Abstract:
An analog sampling circuit comprising a plurality of capacitors is used to sample the reset and video sampling levels at different instants in time to obtain a plurality of respective reset sampling values and a plurality of respective video sampling values. The reset sampling values are then averaged to obtain an average reset sampling value. Likewise, the video sampling values are averaged to obtain an average video sampling value. By averaging the reset sampling values and the video sampling values over time in this manner, random telegraph noise in the reset and video sampling values is eliminated or at least substantially reduced.
