Abstract:
A pixel power noise cancelling apparatus may include: a ramp signal generator suitable for generating a ramp signal according to control of a controller; a pixel power noise copy unit suitable for copying a pixel power noise of a pixel column of a pixel array to superimpose on the ramp signal fed from the ramp signal generator to the pixel column and output a ramp signal with added pixel power noise; and a comparator suitable for comparing a pixel signal output by the pixel column with the ramp signal with added pixel power noise from the pixel power noise copy unit.
