Abstract:
A CMOS sensor includes a pixel configured to output a voltage based on incident light received by the pixel. Circuitry is coupled to the pixel and is configured to determine a reset voltage of the pixel and to select a gain level based on the reset voltage of the pixel. A gain circuit is coupled to the circuitry and is configured to set a voltage level of the gain selected by the circuitry.
