Abstract:
A ramp generator for use in readout circuitry includes an integrator coupled to receive a ramp generator input reference signal to generate a reference ramp signal coupled to be received by an analog to digital converter. A power supply compensation circuit that is coupled to generate the ramp generator input reference signal includes a delay circuit including a variable resistor and a filter capacitor coupled to receive a power supply signal. The variable resistor is tuned to match a delay ripple from the power supply to a bitline output. A capacitive voltage divider is coupled to the delay circuit to generate the ramp generator input reference signal. The capacitive voltage divider includes a first variable capacitor coupled to a second variable capacitor that are tuned to provide a capacitance ratio that matches a coupling ratio from the power supply to the bitline output.
