DIGITAL IMAGING DEVICE WITH ENHANCED DYNAMIC RANGE AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF

A digital imaging device including a sensor array, an analog front end and a digital back end. The sensor array is configured to output black pixel data and normal pixel data. The analog front end is configured to amplify the black pixel data and the normal pixel data with a gain, and calibrate the amplified black pixel data and the amplified normal pixel data with a calibration value. The digital back end is configured to digitize the amplified and calibrated black pixel data, calculate a data offset according to digital black pixel data, determine a dynamic adjust scale, calculate the calibration value according to the gain, the data offset and the dynamic adjust scale, and adjust the gain according to the dynamic adjust scale.
