A multisampling time-domain CMOS imager with synchronous readout circuit

A novel multisampling time-domain architecture for CMOS imagers with synchronous readout and wide dynamic range is proposed. The proposed multisampling architecture requires only a single bit per pixel memory instead of 8 bits which is typical for time-domain active pixel architectures. The goal is to obtain a time-domain imager with high dynamic range that requires lower number of transistors per pixel in order to achieve higher fill-factor. …
