ABSTRACT:
An imager includes a successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (SA-ADC) and an arithmetic memory. The successive approximation analog-to-digital converter converts analog representations of pixel reset and image signals for a pixel to digital representations of the pixel reset and image signals. The arithmetic memory generates a difference signal that represents the difference between the digital representations of the pixel reset signal and the pixel image signal using a most-significant-bit-first (MSB-first) calculation.
