Abstract :
A new CMOS active pixel image sensor is reported. The sensor uses a 2.0 μm double-poly, double-metal foundry CMOS process and is realized as a 128×128 array of 40 μm×40 μm pixels. The sensor features TTL compatible voltages, low noise and large dynamic range, and will be useful in machine vision and smart sensor applications
