摘要： An image sensor system that compensates the amplifier in a column of a pixel array. This uses a sampling capacitor, that receives a signal from a pixel of the pixel array. A first plate of the sampling capacitor receives a value from the amplifier representing an offset level of the amplifier. While receiving the offset level from the amplifier on the first plate, the capacitor receives information from the pixel on a second plate of the same capacitor that is receiving the offset, thereby canceling the offset. The value from said sampling capacitor indicative of said information from said pixel with said offset cancelled being coupled to said amplifier to amplify said value as a first pixel value. The amplifier is also connected to other selecting switches from other pixels of said column of the pixel array.

摘要： A dual slope A/D converter uses two opposite sense ramps added to its differential input. The value in a digital counter is latched at the time when the two ramps intersect. This enables a more consistent switching point, allowing the amplifier to the linear over a larger part of its range.

摘要： An image sensor array that has a plurality of image sensing pixels and a plurality of programmable gain amplifiers, each of the programmable gain amplifiers connected to receive and amplify an output of said image sensing pixels. Each of said programmable gain senses when an output of the programmable gain amplifier is in an oversaturated condition. Responsive to sensing that the output of the programmable gain amplifier in the oversaturated condition, the amplifier automatically clamps a bias amount to the programmable gain amplifier, to thereby regulate an amount of current draw of the programmable gain amplifier. In this way, the power supply current to that pixel which is oversaturated is prevented from affecting power supplies to the other pixels, by regulating the power supply to the oversaturated pixel.

摘要： An image sensor array that has a buffer amplifier, having a capacitor which receives photogenerated energy from a photodetector, and stores the photo generated energy in a capacitor of the buffer amplifier. A reset across the buffer amplifier is applied at a time which is sufficient to allow the amplifier to settle transiently prior to applying the clamp voltage. There is also a source follower that is enabled to operate at a time just before snapshot operation, and then turned off when the snapshot is over, to save on power.

摘要： An image sensor pixel the conformist single pixel of a larger array. The image sensor pixel can be a large one, such as larger than 100 μm. The image sensor pixel has readout notes on multiple sides thereof, e.g. on to work for sides, that are symmetrically located on the pixel. The readout notes are simultaneously read out to read out a part of the image from the pixel.
