Abstract

A high-sensitivity light sensor includes a light sensing element, a first integrator, a comparator, and a second integrator. The light sensing element senses a light during a measurement time interval to generate a current. The first integrator integrates the current to generate a first integration signal. The comparator compares the first integration signal with a threshold value. While the first integration signal is greater than the threshold value, the comparison signal is at a first level. The second integrator is coupled to the first integrator and integrates the first integration signal to generate a second integration signal. The light sensor of the present invention uses two integrators to integrate the sensed voltage twice. Therefore, the light sensor of the present invention has a higher sensitivity.
