Abstract
A differential active pixel sensor in present day CMOS technologies is described. The primary goal of the architecture is to reduce visible noise artifacts in the output image. Artifacts caused by gain mismatches among pixel elements, kTC noise, fixed-pattern noise due to reset mismatches, and corrupted pixels are considered. The architecture enables scan-based image processing on the image at high data rates while allowing the use of low speed (compared to conventional architectures) components.
