AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In CMOS image sensors, the parasitic effect of metal traces causes the column bus signal to establish too slowly, affecting the frame rate. In particular, the limitation of the discharge current of the tail current source on the parasitic capacitance further slows down the establishment speed of the integral signal. Moreover, existing current enhancement techniques have problems such as system instability and high requirements for operational amplifier parameters.

Method used

A sampling circuit consisting of a sampling capacitor and a sampling resistor is used, combined with a comparator and a tail current source. By adaptively controlling the working state of the tail current source, the parasitic capacitance is quickly discharged to accelerate the establishment of the column bus signal.

Benefits of technology

It improves the setup speed of the column bus signal, increases the frame rate of the CMOS image sensor, maintains the consistency of imaging quality and readout circuitry, and does not increase additional power consumption.
