Paper Abstract

Sources of noise that corrupt the reference level VREF during a ramp ADC operation are identified and analyzed. For power noise analysis, PSR of bandgap reference and current generator are investigated through small signal circuits. For device noise appearing at the reference level, noise contribution from each device is expressed in terms of design variables. The identified design variables are arranged in a table to serve as a guide for low noise CMOS imager design.
