Image Sensor Matrix High Speed Simulation

چکیده
This paper presents a new high speed simulation methodology to solve the long simulation time problem of CMOS image sensor matrix. Generally, for integrating the pixel matrix in SOC and simulating the system performance, designers try to model the pixel in various modeling languages such as VHDL-AMS, SystemC or Matlab. We introduce a new alternative method based on spice model in cadence design platform to achieve accuracy and reduce simulation time. The simulation results indicate that the pixel output voltage maximum error is at 0.7812% and time consumption reduces from 2.2 days to 13 minutes achieving about 240X speed-up for the 256x256 pixel matrix. Keywords—CMOS image sensor, high speed simulation, image sensor matrix simulation.

متن کاملOptimization of Energy Consumption in Image Transmission in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) using a Hybrid Method
In wireless sensor networks (WSNs), sensor nodes have limited resources with regard to computation, storage, communication bandwidth, and the most important of all, energy supply. In addition, in many applications of sensor networks, we need to send images to a sink node. Therefore, we have to use methods for sending images in which the number and volume of packets are optim...
متن کاملCMOS image sensor architecture for high-speed sparse image content readout
To address this issue, we propose an architecture for image sensor readout using a pipelined global shutter image sensor in which the readout is asynchronous and not scanned sequentially. Content aware pixels use a domino-like asynchronous readout and do not suffer from ambiguity during the decoding of the addresses. The analog data are then retrieved from the single pixels using the asynchrono...
متن کاملToward 100 Mega-Frames per Second: Design of an Ultimate Ultra-High-Speed Image Sensor
Our experience in the design of an ultra-high speed image sensor targeting the theoretical maximum frame rate is summarized. The imager is the backside illuminated in situ storage image sensor (BSI ISIS). It is confirmed that the critical factor limiting the highest frame rate is the signal electron transit time from the generation layer at the back side of each pixel to the input gate to the i...
