Abstract
A signal processing system for an imaging device is provided. The signal processing system includes: a plurality of readout circuitries that are connected in parallel, where each readout circuitry includes: one or more interface circuits to receive an analog signal; an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit to convert the analog signal to a digital signal; and a plurality of switches coupled between the ADC circuit and a plurality of storage circuits, where the plurality of switches includes a first switch and a second switch; a controller to: (i) control the first switch to decouple the ADC circuit from a first storage circuit, where the first storage circuit stores a previous digital signal of a previous iteration; and (ii) control the second switch to couple the ADC circuit to the second storage circuit, where the second storage circuit stores a current digital signal; and a transmitter to transmit the previous digital signal.
