A correlated double sampling (CDS) pixel and methods of operating the same are provided. The CDS pixel includes a sensor circuit to generate a voltage value corresponding to electromagnetic radiation received on a photodetector included therein, and a sample and hold (S/H) stage including a sample switching-element and first and second capacitor-elements. The first capacitor-element is coupled between an output of the sensor circuit through the sample switching-element and a predetermined reference potential. The second capacitor-element has a first node coupled to the output of the sensor circuit through the sample switching-element and a second node coupled in series with an output of the S/H stage, the second node of the second capacitor-element further coupled through a calibration switching-element to a calibration voltage to sample a reset voltage value on the photodetector at a first time at a beginning of an integration period following reset of the sensor circuit.
