Abstract :
This contribution presents an integrated linear image sensor array with programmable on-chip sensor processing, which has been fabricated in standard CMOS technology. The sensor is based on active pixel sensing principle which utilizes high light sensitivity of a standard PMOS transistor located in a floating n-well. The on-chip signal processing circuitry can be programmed to realize a wide variety of signal processing functions.
