Problems solved by technology

[0005] 1. A large number of digital gate circuits are frequently flipped under the action of the system main clock, which will generate very large switching noise. In the digital-analog hybrid system, these noises will seriously affect the function and performance of the analog circuit

[0006] 2. The integral capacitance of the pixel unit circuit is fixed, which limits the application of some application systems

Therefore, in the case of a strong background signal, the charge storage capacity of the weak current signal amplification circuit is required to be large enough, which requires the integral capacitor to be large enough to collect all the charges. The effect often fails to meet the requirements of th...
