Abstract: An imaging system comprises a pixel array configured to generate a plurality of image charge voltage signals in response to incident light, and readout circuitry coupled to the pixel array, the readout circuitry including a plurality of column unit cells. Each column unit cell comprises at least one of a plurality of comparators, wherein each comparator is coupled to receive the ramp signal from the ramp generator through a ramp signal line. Each column unit cell also comprises a compensation current unit coupled to the ramp signal line, each compensation current unit comprising a compensation current source and a compensation current switch coupled to the compensation current source, wherein the compensation current source and the compensation current switch are coupled between a first node on the ramp signal line and a second node.
