Abstract :
This paper presents a 400H×256V pixel CMOS image sensor including 128 on-chip memory/pixel with 1Tpixel/s in burst operation without cooling and 780Mpixel/s in continuous operation. To improve the read-out speed from the chip, a noise-reduction circuit in pixel and relay buffers is introduced.
