Large Format CMOS Image Sensors: Performance and Design (Paperback)

This book covers design and performance issuessurrounding very large format CMOS Image Sensors. Itapproaches the problem systematically from bottom up.It starts with modeling and performance issues ofCMOS imaging pixels, reviews and address system andcircuit level issues with unique solutions andcircuits, and presents new IC design methodologiesfor CMOS imagers. Each solution was supported withreal working CMOS image sensor ICs. All mixed-signalcircuits, timing diagrams, and measurement techniqueswere presented for very large format CMOS imagesensor with stitching in the book. Fundamentals ofCCD and CMOS imagers along with imaging fundamentalswere also included in the first chapters of the book. Targeted audience of this book is people who areinterested in image sensors in general and/orparticularly in large format CMOS imagers. Allstudents, engineers, scientists, and academiciansinterested in understanding more about CMOS imagesensors, their circuits, measurement techniques,performance metrics, and imaging pixels are invitedto read the book. Chapters are related to each otherbut could be read independently.
