Abstract
A color matching circuit of an image sensor includes a receiving end configured to receive an analog pixel signal. The color matching circuit also includes a path controller including a first switch set configured to control current paths between a common node coupled to the receiving end and power sources and a second switch set configured to control signal paths between the common node and analog-to-digital converters, the path controller being configured to determine on-off states of switches included in the first switch set and the second switch set based on a color corresponding to the analog pixel signal. The path controller transfers the analog pixel signal to a target analog-to-digital converter determined depending on the on-off states of the switches, among the analog-to-digital converters.
