Abstract

Integration of high-fidelity readout and compressive readout channels in a signal sensor array system is provided. A high-fidelity representation of the sensor array is recovered by combining the data from both the high-resolution and compressive readout channels. The signal sensory array system uses a non-correlated-double-sampling (non-CDS) pixel block readout, random-access-reset pixel, ADC-integrated image compression, high-resolution successive-approximation-register (SAR) analog-to-digital-converters (ADC), SAR ADC self-calibration, and low-noise time-domain comparator.
