CORRELATED DOUBLE-SAMPLE DIFFERENCING WITHIN AN ADC

摘要

A circuit system for performing correlated double sampling may include a signal sampling stage having an amplifier with a feedback capacitor and a pair of storage capacitors coupled to an output of the amplifier, and a differential analog to digital converter (ADC) having a pair of inputs coupled respectively to storage capacitors of the signal sampling stage. The signal sampling stage may receive reset and signal values from a sensor device and may store processed versions of those signals on respective storage capacitors. The differential ADC may generate a digital value representing a signal captured by the sensor device from a differential digitization operation performed on the processed versions of the reset and signal values. In this manner, the system may correct for any signal errors introduced by components of the sampling stage.
