Abstract
This paper presents a low-power 1232 × 952 pixel
back side-illuminated CMOS image sensor with a pixel pitch
of 2.8 µm. It is implemented in a 90-nm CMOS image sensor
technology. We propose a method to reduce the pixel readout
energy consumption by computing two digital correlated double-
sampling (DCDS) results with three analog–digital (A/D) conver-
sions, thereby using an average of 1.5 A/D conversions per pixel.
The conventional DCDS readout requires two A/D conversions
per pixel. The DCDS op
