CORRELATED DOUBLE SAMPLING CIRCUIT, METHOD THEREOF AND DEVICES HAVING THE SAME

摘要

A CDS circuit includes first capacitors; second capacitors; and a switch arrangement which, in response to a switch control signal, connects the first capacitors in series between a pixel signal output node and a ground to compress the pixel signal and connects the second capacitors in series between a ramp signal output node and the ground to compress the ramp signal, or connects the first capacitors in parallel between the pixel signal output node and a first input node of the comparator and connects the second capacitors in parallel between the ramp signal output node and a second input node of the comparator.
