摘要: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes a first ADC stage with a first sub-ADC stage configured to sample the analog input voltage in response to a first phase clock signal and output a first digital value corresponding to an analog input voltage in response to a second phase clock signal. A current mode DAC stage is configured to convert the analog input voltage and the first digital value to respective first and second current signals, determine a residue current signal representing a difference between the first and the second current signal, and convert the residue current signal to an analog residual voltage signal. A second ADC stage is coupled to the first ADC stage to receive the analog residual voltage signal, and convert the analog residue voltage signal to a second digital value. An alignment and digital error correction stage is configured to combine the first and the second digital values.

摘要: An image sensor includes a pixel sensor outputting an analog sampling signal; a sampling unit comparing the sampling signal and a ramp signal, and outputting a comparison signal that is time-axis length information; and a counter counting a length of the comparison signal based on a clock signal and first and second complement control signals. The counter includes an AND gate ANDing the comparison signal and the clock signal; and a counting unit triggered at a falling edge of the AND gate output to output a count value. The counting unit includes a complement operation controller storing an inverted count value that is an inversion of the count value in response to the first complement control signal, and outputting the inverted count value in response to the second complement control signal; and a D-flip-flop that is set or reset depending on the inverted count value, and outputs the count value.
