The service-provider device includes: a plurality of first optical transceivers; a first optical multiplexer/demultiplexer (OD/OM) connected to the plurality of first optical transceivers; and a seed-light source providing seed light. Each subscriber device includes a second optical transceiver. The local node connects the service-provider device and the plurality of subscriber devices to each other using a DWDM link comprising: a second multiplexer/demultiplexer (OD/OM); and a single-mode optical fiber for transmission. Here, the optical intensity of an output signal of the second optical transceiver is determined by compensating for the value of the loss caused when the output signal passes through the second OD/OM of the local node.

    Abstract: Circuits, methods, and apparatus that provide differential-input, single-slope, column-parallel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) architectures for use in high-resolution CMOS image sensors (CIS) are described. A column ADC is coupled with a column of a pixel array and configured to convert a pixel signal level to a corresponding digital output value according to a ramp generator output. Each pixel is configured to output a pixel reset level and a pixel signal level at different operating stages, and the ramp generator output includes a ramp reset level and a ramp signal level at the same or different at different operating stages. The pixel and ramp outputs are used to differentially drive a comparator stage of the column ADC, for example, to reduce power supply noise.
