Analog Signal Processing for CMOS Image Sensors

This thesis describes the development of low-noise power-efficient analog interface circuitry for CMOS image sensors. It focuses on improving two aspects of the interface circuitry: firstly, lowering the noise in the front-end readout circuit, and secondly the realization of more power-efficient analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that are capable of reading out high-resolution imaging arrays...
