Abstract
In an example embodiment, a ramp generator includes a ramp circuit that receives a first ramp enable signal from a control circuit during a first ramp period, the first ramp period including a first reset period and a first sensing period, and the ramp circuit being configured to output a first ramp signal to a correlated double sampling circuit; an emphasis circuit that increases a voltage level of the first ramp signal during the first reset period, based on a first enable signal received from the control circuit; and a pre-emphasis circuit that further increases the voltage level of the first ramp signal during a first pre-emphasis period in the first reset period, based on a second enable signal received from the control circuit.
