A 10 kframe/s 0.18 μm CMOS digital pixel sensor with pixel-level memory

A 352/spl times/288 pixel CMOS image sensor with pixel-level single-slope ADC and 8 b 3T DRAM cells achieves 9.4/spl times/9.4 /spl mu/m/sup 2/ pixel in standard 0.18 /spl mu/m CMOS. Continuous 10 kframes/s (1 Gpixels/s) 8 b per pixel snapshot image acquisition is achieved with 0.1% rms temporal noise and 0.18% rms FPN.
