AMPLIFIER AND IMAGE SENSOR DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240380364 titled 'AMPLIFIER AND IMAGE SENSOR DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME
The abstract of the patent application describes an amplifier with various components including capacitors, an amplifying element, a current bias source, reset switches, and a reset bias generator circuit.
- The amplifier includes a first capacitor connected between an input node and a floating node.
- A second capacitor is connected between the floating node and an output node.
- An amplifying element is connected between a power supply voltage and the output node, operating in response to the voltage level of the floating node.
- A current bias source is connected between the output node and a ground voltage.
- A first reset switch is connected between the floating node and an intermediate node, operating in response to a reset bias.
- A second reset switch is connected between the intermediate node and the output node, operating in response to the reset bias.
- A reset bias generator circuit outputs the reset bias in response to a reset signal, which can be a reset voltage of the intermediate node, the power supply voltage, or the ground voltage.
