Active Pixel Sensor Architectures in Standard CMOS Technology for Charged-Particle Detection
The adoption of active pixel sensors (APS), based on an “active” read-out scheme implemented at the pixel level, has been recently proposed for charged-particle detection purposes [1, 2]. Very good performances have been obtained, in particular by exploiting some peculiar features of the actual fabrication technology (i.e., the presence of a relatively deep and low-doped epitaxial layer). In th...
متن کاملCMOS Active Pixel Image Sensor
This paper addresses the development of a micropower 176 144 CMOS active pixel image sensor that dissipates one to two orders of magnitude less power than current state-of-the-art CMOS image sensors. The chip operates from a 1.5-V voltage source and the power consumption measured for the chip running from an internal 25.2-MHz clock yielding 30 frames per second is about 550 W. This amount enabl...
متن کاملA 35mm 13.89 Million Pixel CMOS Active Pixel Image Sensor
This paper discusses a 13.89 million pixels CMOS image sensor for digital SLR cameras. The pitch of the 3transistor active pixel is 8 microns. The sensor has a full well charge of 117K electrons and 33 electrons temporal noise, and a dynamic range of 71 dB. The fixed pattern noise is 0.14% RMS, obtained by an on-chip correction circuit. Color filters have been optimized for best photographic pe...
متن کاملCurrent Mode Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor With Correlated Double Sampling for Charged Particle Detection
A monolithic active pixel sensor operating in current mode for charged particle detection is described. The sensing element in each pixel is an n-well/p-sub diode with a PMOS transistor integrated in an n-well. The drop of the n-well potential from the collection of charge modulates the transistor channel current. Each pixel features two current mode memory cells. The subtraction of distant-in-...
متن کاملProgrammable multiresolution CMOS active pixel sensor
CMOS active pixel sensors (APS) allow the flexibility of placing signal processing circuitry on the imaging focal plane. The multiresolution CMOS APS can perform block averaging on-chip to eliminate the off-chip software intensive image processing. This 128 x 128 APS array can be read out at any user-defined resolution by configuring a set of digital shift registers. The full resolution frame r...
