抄録

We describe a CMOS image sensor with column parallel Analog to Digital Conversion circuits. In this method, we use small 1bit comparator which detects each bit during integration ! $ repeatedly ! % 8 bit value is determined when the integration is finished. Consequently, both the A/D conversion and the integration of the pixel value can be done in parallel. We have designed a prototype by using column parallel architecture ! % The prototype outputs analog value and 8 bit digital value of pixel data. It has 32 × 16 pixels and digital memory for each pixel ! % We describe the processing scheme of our ADC and the circuit and layout design of the prototype ! % We show results of some experiments.
