Imaging systems with sub-radix-2 charge sharing successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters

An image sensor may contain an array of imaging pixels arranged in rows and columns. Each column of imaging pixels may be coupled to a column line which is used to read out imaging signals from the pixels. The column line may be coupled to an analog-to-digital converter for converting analog imaging...

description An image sensor may contain an array of imaging pixels arranged in rows and columns. Each column of imaging pixels may be coupled to a column line which is used to read out imaging signals from the pixels. The column line may be coupled to an analog-to-digital converter for converting analog imaging signals from the pixels to digital signals. The analog-to-digital converter may be implemented as a charge sharing successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The SAR ADC may include a comparator coupled to a feedback digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The comparator may have a non-zero comparator offset. The feedback DAC may include capacitors that are scaled using a sub-radix-2 sizing scheme to help improve tolerance to the comparator offset while enabling resolutions of up to 10-bits or more.
