Problems solved by technology

[0007] When the CMOS image sensor in the prior art realizes differential work, and realizes color control, exposure control, black background control, dynamic noise elimination and fixed noise FPN, its processing circuit function is single and the circuit is complicated, so the size of the chip is increased. However, in today's fierce competition in the IC market, on the premise that the imaging effect is not affected, reducing the size and reducing the cost has become the focus of competition among CMOS image sensor design manufacturers

Embodiment approach

[0029] The present invention may also have other implementation manners, for example, the input stage capacitor may not include the second positive input stage switched capacitor array C3 and the second negative input stage switched capacitor array C2. This embodiment uses the same circuit to realize the color gain adjustment and the exposure gain adjustment, and at the same time eliminate the functions of dynamic noise and fixed noise FPN.

[0030] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the connection between the preferred embodiment of the present invention and other circuits. It can be seen from the figure that the output terminal of the differential operational amplifier A1 is connected to the analog-to-digital converter ADC, and the digital image processing ISP (image signal process) outputs colors according to the automatic adjustment function The gain signal b, exposure gain signal g, and color gain signal b are used to adjust the capacitance values ​​of the first positive inpu...
