Pixel sensor array including comparator and image sensor including the same
Abstract:
Provided are a pixel sensor array and a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor including the same. The pixel sensor array includes a photoelectric transformation element configured to generate electric charges in response to incident light. A signal transmitting circuit is configured to output the electric charges accumulated in the photoelectric transformation element to a first node based on a first control signal, change an electric potential of the first node to an electric potential of a second signal line based on a second control signal, and output a signal sensed in the first node to a first signal line based on a third control signal. A switch element is configured to connect a supply power terminal to the second signal line based on a fourth control signal. A comparator connected to the first signal line and the second signal line and configured to compare a voltage of the signal and a voltage of a reference signal.
