    摘要: An image sensor includes a pixel array, a column signal processor, and a column mismatch compensator. The pixel array outputs a pixel signal from each column line during a pixel measuring time, and outputs a reference signal during a reference measuring time. The column signal processor performs correlated double sampling (CDS) on the reference signal to generate a reference CDS signal, and performs CDS on the pixel signal to generate a pixel CDS signal. The column mismatch compensator compensates the pixel CDS signal based on the reference CDS signal.

    摘要: A method of operating an image sensing device includes applying control voltages to a pixel array in accordance with a test mode and performing an analog-to-digital conversion of a column line voltage to obtain one or more digital codes. The one or more digital codes are evaluated to detect an operating error associated with the column line and/or corresponding analog to digital converter. In response to an operating error, pixel values may be replaced or averaged with nearby pixel outputs not affected by the operating error.
