Abstract
A comparison device includes; a comparison block suitable for comparing a pixel signal with a reference voltage including a ramp-up signal and a ramp-down signal; a correlated double sampling (CDS) block suitable for performing a correlated double sampling operation on the pixel signal; a first switch suitable for selectively inputting the ramp-up signal as the reference voltage based on a first switch control signal; a second switch suitable for selectively inputting the ramp-down signal as the reference voltage based on a second switch control signal; and a feedback control unit suitable for generating the first and second switch control signals based on a result of the comparison during an initialization operation.
