Abstract

A CCD/CMOS digital camera with integrated drivers is reported. The chip uses a 32×24 pixels CCD Interline-Transfer image sensor with 32 CCD/CMOS single-slope analog-to-digital converters. This highly scalable architecture is suitable for implementing high resolution modular image sensors for digital vision applications. Correlated Double Sampling technique could be integrated on each readout channel to suppress kTC and fixed-pattern noise
