چکیده

In this paper a new rail-to-rail pixel readout architecture is proposed to enhance the performance of CMOS image sensor for both low voltage and low power applications. Due to this new readout circuit, the enough input voltage swing under a low supply voltage is achieved and guaranteed for correct successive signal processing. As a consequence, the ability of working under a lower voltage using the same process is greatly improved. The layout size of each pixel is 17um×11.55um. The design of a 64×64 bits CMOS image sensor circuit has been completed. The proposed CMOS image sensor can extend its operating voltage from 3.3V even down to 1.8V for a 0.35um process. The total power dissipation is 0.528mW at 3.3V supply and down to 0.102mW at 1.8V. Key-Words: CMOS, Image sensor, Rail-to-rail readout, Low voltage, Low power, Pixel

Low Dropout Based Noise Minimization of Active Mode Power Gated Circuit

Power gating technique reduces leakage power in the circuit. However, power gating leads to large voltage fluctuation on the power rail during power gating mode to active mode due to the package inductance in the Printed Circuit Board. This voltage fluctuation may cause unwanted transitions in neighboring circuits. In this work, a power gating architecture is developed for minimizing power in a...
