Abstract
Techniques and architectures for simultaneous readout and integration of image data from pixels while increasing their sensitivity and reducing required data rates for moving information off of the chip using pixels configured to conduct Analog-to-Digital Conversions (ADCs) of image data, wherein each pixel operates in a rolling Integrate While Read (IWR) mode using SRAM in place of traditional latches for in-pixel storage.
