  • In this paper, an analysis of the complementary CMOS active pixel and readout circuit is carried out. Complementary pixel structure which is different from conventional 3TR APS structure consists of photo diode, reset PMOS, several NMOSs and PMOSs sets for complementary signals. Proposed CMOS image sensors pixel has been fabricated using 0.5 standard CMOS process. Measured results show that the output signal range is from 0.8 V to 3.8 V. This output signal range increased 125 % compared to conventional 3TR pixel in the condition of 5 V power supply.
