  • Abstract
    A 1/2.7 inch 1944times1092pixels CMOS image sensor with multi-gain column amplifier and double noise canceller is fabricated in a 0.18mum 1P3M CMOS process. It operates at 48MHz in a progressive scanning mode at 60fps. A 2T/pixel architecture and low optical stack with micro innerlens achieve 14.8ke-/1x-s sensitivity, 14ke- saturation, 3.7e- rms noise and 12.2e- dark current at 60degC.
