  • In this paper, a high-speed CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) based on a 10-bit two step Single Slope A/D Converter (SS-ADC) is proposed. The A/D converter is composed of both 5-bit coarse ADC and a 6-bit fine ADC, and the conversion speed is 10 times faster than that of the single-slope A/D convertor. In order to reduce the pixel noise, further, a Hybrid Correlated Double Sampling (H-CDS) is also discussed. The proposed A/D converter has been fabricated with 0.13um 1-poly 4-metal CIS process, and it has a QVGA ($320{\times}240$) resolution. The fabricated chip size is $5mm{\times}3mm$, and the power consumption is about 35 mW at 3.3 V supply voltage. The measured conversion speed is 10 us, and the frame rate is 220 frames/s.

  • 본 논문에서는 10-bit 해상도의 Two-Step Single-Slope A/D 변환기를 이용한 고속 CMOS Image Sensor(CIS)를 제안하였다. 제안하는 A/D 변환기는 5-bit coarse ADC 와 6-bit fine ADC 로 구성되어 있으며, 기존의 Single-Slope A/D 변환기보다 10배 이상의 변환속도를 나타내었다. 또한 고속 동작에서 적은 노이즈 특성을 갖기 위해 Digital Correlated Double Sampling(D-CDS) 회로를 제안하였다. 설계된 A/D 변환기는 0.13um 1-poly 4-metal CIS 공정으로 제작되었으며 QVGA($320{\times}240$)급 해상도를 갖는다. 제작된 칩의 유효면적은 $5mm{\times}3mm$ 이며 3.3V 전원전압에서 약 35mW의 전력소모를 나타내었다. 변환속도는 10us 이었으며, 프레임율은 220 frames/s으로 측정되었다.
