Abstract
Imaging circuitry is provided that includes a column of image pixels coupled to a pixel output line, a first data converter circuit having an input coupled to the pixel output line and configured to output a first set of bits, an integrator having an input coupled to the first data converter, and a second data converter circuit having an input coupled to the integrator and configured to output a second set of bits. The first data converter circuit can be a successive-approximation-register analog-to-digital converter. The integrator can include an amplifier for charging up an integration capacitor. The second set of bits can be scaled based on a calibrated value prior to being combined with the first set of bits.
