Abstract: An active pixel sensor a plurality of sensor pixels disposed in a row, a plurality of sensor pixels in a column, and steering circuitry coupled to each of the sensor pixels. Each of the sensor pixels includes a first pixel circuit, and a second pixel circuit. For each of the sensor pixels, the steering circuitry includes a first switch, a second switch, a third switch, and a fourth switch. The first switch and the second switch are connected in series to route an input signal to the first pixel circuit. The third switch and a fourth switch are connected in parallel to route the input signal to the second pixel circuit.

Abstract: In described examples, a circuit includes an integrator. The integrator generates a first signal responsive to an input signal. A trigger circuit is coupled to the integrator and receives the first signal. A charge dump circuit is coupled to the integrator and the trigger circuit. The trigger circuit modifies configuration of the charge dump circuit and the integrator when the first signal is greater than a first threshold.

Abstract: In described examples, a circuit includes an integrator. The integrator receives an input signal. A first sampling network is coupled to the integrator and generates a signal voltage. A second sampling network is coupled to the integrator and generates a pixel sampled noise voltage. The pixel sampled noise voltage generated in a previous cycle is subtracted from the signal voltage generated in a current cycle to generate a true signal voltage.

Abstract: In accordance with one embodiment, an apparatus includes a first amplifier having a noninverting input, an inverting input and an output. The noninverting input is coupled to a first ground reference. The inverting input is coupled to an output of an external sensor. The apparatus also includes a second amplifier having a noninverting input, an inverting input and an output. The noninverting input is coupled to the first ground reference. The inverting input is coupled to the power supply through a first variable capacitor and to the second ground reference through a second variable capacitor. The output is coupled to the inverting input of the first amplifier. The external sensor is coupled to a third ground reference, and the first amplifier and second amplifier are coupled to the second ground reference.
