摘要:
Apparatuses and methods for image sensors with increased analog to digital conversion range are described herein. An example method may include disabling a first auto-zero switch of a comparator, the first auto-zero switch coupled to a ramp voltage input of the comparator, increasing, by a ramp generator, an auto-zero voltage level of a ramp voltage provided to the ramp voltage input of the comparator, and disabling a second auto-zero switch of the comparator, the second auto-zero switch coupled to a bitline input of the comparator.
