Abstract
A high dynamic range (HDR) imaging system is disclosed in which the speed of digitizing and storing image data is increased by efficient signal management, without a need for additional resources. By managing the data transfer process in a successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit, using techniques such as synchronization of control signals, multi-stage memory, and time-multiplexing, higher frame rates can be achieved without relying on increasing bandwidth with additional channels, or increasing power consumption or complexity of the imaging system.
