Abstract:
An image sensor includes a sampling circuit, which is responsive to ramp and input signals provided by a pixel array. The sampling circuit is configured to perform a correlated double sampling (CDS) operation on a reset component of the input signal and an image component of the input signal. A reset circuit is also provided, which is configured to reset an output signal generated by the sampling circuit to a first level in response to a reset control signal. This reset control signal can be active during at least one of a first reset interval and a second reset interval. The first reset interval precedes a first comparison interval during which a first comparison operation is performed on the ramp signal and the reset component. The second reset interval precedes a second comparison interval during which a second comparison operation is performed on the ramp signal and the image component.
