Abstract

There is provided a method of performing a plurality of analog-to-digital conversions by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), comprising: receiving a first ramp reference signal whose level varies from an initial level along a slope during each period of the first ramp reference signal and a second ramp reference signal whose level varies from an initial level along a slope during each period of the first ramp reference signal; a level of the second ramp reference signal follows the first ramp reference signal at a given offset from the level of the first ramp reference signal; comparing the second ramp reference signal with an input analog signal; sampling a level of the first ramp reference signal when the second ramp reference signal reaches the analog input signal, and resetting a level of the second ramp reference signal to a level sampled from the first ramp reference signal after the sampling; and generating a digital signal according to a result of the comparison, in which the comparison, the sampling, and the resetting are performed a plurality of times in each period of the first ramp reference signal, and the comparison after the resetting is performed using the reset second ramp reference signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an analog-to-digital converter (analog-to-digital converter, ADC), in particular, to a multiple conversion ADC. The invention also relates to an image sensor for generating a digital image, such as a static image (still image) or a moving image (video image), and a device having an image sensor, such as a mobile device or a digital camera. Background technique [0002] In recent years, mobile devices such as cell phones, smartphones, wireless communication terminals, tablet devices, or personal computers have a camera function. A mobile device or a digital camera is equipped with an image sensor, such as a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor or a charge-coupled device (CCD) image sensor. [0003] The image sensor includes: a plurality of pixels that output analog signals each having a signal level corresponding to the intensity of incident light; and a plurality of ADCs that convert the output a...
