Reference Power Supply Connection Scheme for Low-Power CMOS Image Sensors Based on Incremental Sigma-Delta Converters

Abstract: Modern Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors, aimed to target low-noise and fast digital outputs, are fundamentally based on column-parallel structures, jointly designed with oversampling column converters. The typical choice for the employed column converters is the incremental sigma-delta structures, which intrinsically perform the correlated multiple sampling, creating an averaging effect over the system thermal noise when used in conjunction with 4T-pinned pixels. However, these type… Show more

“…This paper expands and deepens the research works from the same authors, presented at the ICEA workshop in 2019 [1], complemented with the research work published in the Sensors and Actuators (S&A) A: Physical Journal in the course of 2020 [2], with the research paper published in the MDPI Electronics Journal published during 2021 [3], in conjunction with the work published in the Microelectronics Journal during 2021 [4]. All these works are concerned with high-order Incremental Signal-Delta (ISD) converters and a low-power design.…”

“…This does not take into account, however, the additional 500 µW of power consumption (per column) that is required and reserved for the on-chip power-hungry ADCs references drivers. Since the per-column total power consumption lies in the order of 1 mW, which is a concern for the driven experiment, which is meant for practical and commercial devices, then the solution for the power saving (relative to the ADC references generation) is proposed in Freitas et al [3]. The power saving amount lies in the order of 50%, by delegating the references generation to the off-chip.…”
