Abstract
A column analog-to-digital conversion apparatus includes a first correlated double sampling (CDS) and comparison unit of a CDS and comparison circuit for generating a first comparison result signal in response to a first pixel output signal and a ramp signal, a second CDS and comparison unit of the CDS and comparison circuit for generating a second comparison result signal in response to the first pixel output signal and the ramp signal in a sub-sampling mode, and a data buffer for determining a code value of a most significant bit (MSB) based on the second comparison result signal, determining code values of remaining lower bits based on a counting value outputted from a counter, and generating a digital code including the MSB and the remaining lower bits.
