Abstract:
An analog-digital converter (ADC) includes a correlated double sampling (CDS) circuit configured to perform CDS on each of a reset signal and an image signal output from a pixel to generate a correlated double sampled reset signal and a correlated double sampled image signal, respectively. A delta sigma (ΔΣ) ADC, also included in the ADC, is configured to output a difference between a first digital code that is generated by performing ΔΣ analog-digital conversion on the correlated double sampled reset signal and a second digital code that is generated by performing ΔΣ analog-digital conversion on the correlated double sampled image signal.
