A New CDS Structure for High Density FPA with Low Power

[摘要] Being an essential part of infrared readout integrated circuit, correlated double sampling (CDS) circuits play important roles in both depressing reset noise and conditioning integration signals. To adapt applications for focal planes of large format and high density, a new structure of CDS circuit occupying small layout area is proposed, whose power dissipation has been optimized byusing MOSFETsin operation of subthreshold region, which leads to 720 nW. Then the noise calculation model is established, based on which the noise analysis has been carried outby the approaches of transfer function and numerical simulations using SIMULINK and Verilog-A.The results are in good agreement, demonstrating the validity of the present noise calculation model. Thermal noise plays a dominant role in the long wave situation while1/fnoise is the majority in the medium wave situation. The total noise of long wave is smaller than medium wave, both of which increase with the integration capacitor and integration time increasing.
