Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of image information, in particular to a column processing circuit of an image sensor and the image sensor. Background technique
[0002] Such as figure 1 As shown, an existing image sensor includes a pixel array 10, a column processing circuit 20 connected to the pixel array 10, an analog-to-digital converter 30 connected to the column processing circuit 20, and a digital processing circuit connected to the analog-to-digital converter 30 40.
[0003] The pixel array 10 is composed of several pixels (photosensitive units) 15, and the pixels 15 can perceive the light intensity of a dot area. Since the pixel array 10 has a plurality of pixels 15 arranged in rows and columns, and subsequent circuits cannot process such a large amount of data at the same time, the column processing circuit 20 has a plurality of column processing units 25 and multiplex switches (not shown), Each column processing unit 25 is re...
