摘要： A method for noise simulation of a CMOS image sensor comprises performing a frequency domain noise simulation for a readout circuit of the CMOS image sensor using a computer, wherein the readout circuit includes a correlated double sampling (CDS) circuit, wherein the frequency domain noise simulation includes a CDS transfer function to refer a noise introduced by the CDS circuit back to an input node of the readout circuit. The method further comprises calculating noise at the input node of the readout circuit based on the referred back noises caused by one or more components in the readout circuit and estimating noise of the CMOS imaging sensor by comparing the calculated noise at the input node of the readout circuit to an original input signal to the readout circuit of the CMOS imaging sensor.

摘要： An AD converting unit compares an output signal from an amplifier circuit after reset of a pixel with a reference signal of time-variable, outputs a first digital value, when the output signal from the amplifier circuit in a non-reset state of the pixel is larger than a threshold, sets a gain of the amplifier circuit to a first gain, when the output signal is smaller than the threshold, sets the gain of the amplifier circuit to a second gain larger than the first gain, further after the gain of the amplifier circuit was set to the first or second gain, compares the output signal from the amplifier circuit in the non-reset state of the pixel with the reference signal of time-variable, and outputs a second digital value. When resolutions of the first and second digital values differ, a correcting unit corrects a difference between the resolutions.

摘要： A solid-state imaging device includes the following. Pixels arranged in matrix converts received light into signal voltage. A column AD conversion unit, which includes a comparison unit and an up-down counting unit, converts signal voltage to digital signal. The comparison unit compares a value of signal voltage to a gradually changing value of reference signal voltage. The up-down counting unit counts, by one of down-counting and up-counting, a time period until the comparison result is reversed if the signal voltage is of a base signal component of each pixel at reset level, and counts, by an other of down-counting and up-counting, the time period if the signal voltage is of a superimposed signal component in which the base signal component is superimposed on a pixel signal component corresponding to an amount of light received by the pixel. The comparison unit has switchable kinds of frequency band characteristics.
