چکیده
A CMOS active pixel sensor that achieves wide intrascene dynamic range using dual sampling is reported. A 64 64 element prototype sensor with dual output architecture was fabricated using a 1.2m n-well CMOS process with 20.4m pitch photodiode-type active pixels. The sensor achieves an intrascene dynamic range of 109 dB without nonlinear companding.

In this paper, we propose a 4-transistor active pixel sensor(APS) with a novel correlated double sampling(CDS) circuit for the purpose of extending dynamic range. Dual sampling techniques can overcome low-sensitivity and temporal disparity problems at low illumination. To accomplish this, two images are obtained at the same time using different sensitivities. The novel CDS circuit proposed in t...
