متن کاملA Foveated Image Sensor in Standard CMOS Technology
Robert Wodnicki, Gordon W. Roberts, Martin D. Levine Department of Electrical Engineering, McGill University, Montr eal, Qu ebec, CANADA, H3A 2A7 Abstract We describe the design and implementation of a CMOS foveated image sensor for use in mobile robotic and machine vision applications. The sensor is biologically motivated and performs a spatial image transformation from Cartesian to log-polar ...
متن کاملReduction of CMOS Image Sensor Read Noise to Enable Photon Counting
Recent activity in photon counting CMOS image sensors (CIS) has been directed to reduction of read noise. Many approaches and methods have been reported. This work is focused on providing sub 1 e(-) read noise by design and operation of the binary and small signal readout of photon counting CIS. Compensation of transfer gate feed-through was used to provide substantially reduced CDS time and so...
متن کاملRead Noise Distribution Modeling for CMOS Image Sensors
Abstract—We report on an empirical model that describes the read noise statistics in CMOS image sensors. This model includes pixel-to-pixel variations in thermal, 1/f and RTS noise. It is based on the “unlucky pixel” concept where the sourcefollower FET channel is dominated by a single sub-channel and that RTS is due to the interactions of uniformly-distributed defects to this. In addition, we ...
متن کاملA Low-Power CMOS VGA for 50Mb/s Disk Drive Read Channels
We describe an all CMOS variable gain ampliier (VGA) suitable for use in disk drive read channels. The VGA maintains a 3dB bandwidth greater than 85 MHz throughout its gain range. This ensures good phase linearity for data transfer rates of up to 50Mb/s. The VGA provides a 25dB gain variation along an ideal exponential gain to control voltage curve and 30dB of gain control if ideal exponential ...
