A 2/3 inch CMOS Image Sensor for HDTV Applications with Multiple High-DR Modes and Flexible Scanning

A 3T CMOS image sensor is designed with cost-effectiveness and a high degree of flexibility in mind. It supports an optimal interaction between imager and the external processing. An overall noise level of 11.5e
^-
(4e
^-
for the pixel alone) is obtained along with a Q
_max
of more than 15ke
^-
per pixel. The design supports 1920(H)times1080(V)p90 and 1920(H)times1080(V)i180 at a data rate of 2.7Gb/s.
