Simple thermal noise estimation of OTA-based switched-capacitor filters

Christian Enz, François Krummenacher, Assim Boukhayma

This paper presents a new analytical method to simply estimate the integrated thermal noise in switched-capacitor filters (SCF). It is shown how the Bode theorem, which is theoretically valid only for continuous-time passive filters, can be extended to als ...

Temporal Readout Noise Analysis and Reduction Techniques for Low-Light CMOS Image Sensors

Christian Enz, Assim Boukhayma

In this paper, an analytical noise calculation is presented to derive the impact of process and design parameters on 1/f and thermal noise for a low-noise CMOS image sensor (CIS) readout chain. It is shown that dramatic noise reduction is obtained by using ...

Comparison of two optimized readout chains for low light CIS

Christian Enz, Assim Boukhayma

We compare the noise performance of two optimized readout chains that are based on 4T pixels and featuring the same bandwidth of 265kHz (enough to read 1Megapixel with 50frame/s). Both chains contain a 4T pixel, a column amplifier and a single slope analog ...
