Description

Programmable gain amplifier circuit for image sensor
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of gain amplification circuits of image sensors, in particular to a programmable gain amplifier circuit for an image sensor.
Background
Image sensors are the core of image acquisition devices, mainly used in digital cameras and industrial, media, medical, consumer electronics. With the increasing demand for cameras, camcorders, multimedia handsets, the image sensor market is growing rapidly. At present, the solid-state image sensor mainly includes two image sensors of a CCD and a CMOS. CCD image sensors have been widely used due to their high fill factor and low fixed pattern noise. But the application of the CMOS transistor is limited due to the defects of multiple voltages, high power consumption, low speed, difficulty in integration with the CMOS process and the like. The CMOS process is gradually becoming the mainstream process of the image sensor due to its characteristics of low power consumption, low operating voltage, high integration level, and the like. However, the signal amplitude of the pixel output in the CMOS image sensor may vary greatly under different scenes, and in order to adapt to the variation of the signal intensity, the signal intensity is usually adjusted by a Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA) before the pixel output signal enters an Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), so as to meet the requirement of a larger dynamic range of the signal. Meanwhile, the PGA can suppress large signals, and for small signals, the noise of a rear module can be suppressed by amplifying effective signals, so that the integral signal-to-noise ratio is improved.
As shown in fig. 1, when a reset signal of a pixel comes in, a switch Sf is closed, the reset signal is sampled onto a sampling capacitor Cs, when a pixel valid signal comes in, the switch Sf is opened, charges on the sampling capacitor Cs are transferred onto a feedback capacitor Cf, and a final output signal is Vo ═ Cs (Vr-Vs)/Cf, where Vr is the reset signal of the pixel, Vs is the pixel valid signal, and Cs/Cf is a gain of the PGA.
Fig. 2 is an implementation of a PGA circuit, in which a plurality of capacitors C1-C4 are connected in series with switches S1-S4, and then connected in parallel with each other to form a feedback capacitor Cf, and the change of the feedback Cf in fig. 1 is implemented by selecting on or off of switches S1-S4. The following problems exist in this circuit:
1. when the switches S1-S4 are in an open state, the right sides of the capacitors C1-C4 are suspension points, and are easily interfered by clock signals coupled by parasitic capacitors at the suspension points, so that charges stored at negative input points of an Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA) are affected, and the amplification precision and linearity of the PGA are affected.
2. For a larger PGA amplification factor, such as a gain of 16 times, the size ratio of Cs/Cf is 16, and since the value of the feedback capacitor Cf is affected by parasitics and process variations, the value of the feedback capacitor Cf cannot be too small, otherwise the amplification accuracy is greatly affected. The corresponding sampling capacitance Cs becomes large. If it is necessary to provide an amplification gain of 0.5 times, i.e., to attenuate a signal by half when a large signal is input, the maximum value in the variable range of the feedback capacitance Cf is twice the sampling capacitance Cs, so that the total PGA capacitance area may be 3 times the sampling capacitance Cs, and it is difficult to realize a large capacitance value within the width of one pixel, resulting in an excessively large chip area.

Detailed Description
The invention is further illustrated with reference to the following figures and examples.
As shown in fig. 3, a PGA circuit for an image sensor includes an OTA, an inverting input terminal of the OTA is connected to an image sensor signal through a sampling capacitor Cs, a feedback capacitor Cf and a switch Sf which are connected in parallel with each other are connected between the inverting input terminal and an output terminal of the OTA, and a plurality of adjustment capacitors C5-C8, one ends of the adjustment capacitors C5-C8 are connected to the inverting input terminal of the OTA in common, the other ends of the adjustment capacitors C5-C8 are connected to dual signal channels S5-S8, the dual signal channels S5-S8 are respectively formed by two groups of signal channels, two groups of signal channels corresponding to each adjustment capacitor C5-C8 are selectively turned on or off under the control of an external register, and when one group of the signal channels is turned on, the other group of the signal channels is turned off. The other end of each adjusting capacitor C5-C8 is respectively connected to one end of the sampling capacitor Cs connected to the image sensor signal through a corresponding first group of signal channels in a common mode, and the other end of each adjusting capacitor C5-C8 is respectively connected to the output end of the operational transconductance amplifier OTA through a corresponding second group of signal channels in a common mode.
Two groups of signal channels corresponding to each adjusting capacitor C5-C8 are respectively formed by switches, one end of each switch is connected to the other end of the corresponding adjusting capacitor C5-C8 in a common mode, the other end of a first group of switches corresponding to each adjusting capacitor C5-C8 is connected to one end, connected with the image sensor signal, of the sampling capacitor Cs in a common mode, and the other end of a second group of switches corresponding to each adjusting capacitor C5-C8 is connected to the output end of the OTA in a common mode.
Two groups of signal channels corresponding to each adjusting capacitor C5-C8 are formed by switches of an equivalent single-pole double-throw switch structure, the input end of the equivalent single-pole double-throw switch structure is connected with the other end of the corresponding adjusting capacitor C5-C8, one output end of the equivalent single-pole double-throw switch structure is connected to one end, connected with the image sensor signal, of the sampling capacitor Cs in common, and the other output end of the equivalent single-pole double-throw switch structure is connected to the output end of the OTA in common.
The invention realizes different gains through the number of the adjusting capacitors C5-C8.
In the invention, each adjusting capacitor C5-C8 is respectively connected with a double-signal channel S5-S8, the double-signal channel is respectively composed of two switches, the two switches are drawn in a dotted line frame and can be equivalent to a single-pole double-throw switch structure, four double-signal channels S5-S8 composed of equivalent single-pole double-throw switch structures are drawn in the figure 3, one output end of each equivalent single-pole double-throw switch structure is connected to the left side of a sampling Cs, and the other output end of each equivalent single-pole double-throw switch structure is connected to the output end of an OTA. Each tuning capacitor is therefore connected either in parallel with the sample Cs or in parallel with the feedback capacitor Cf. The advantages of this structure are:
1. each of the tuning capacitors C5-C8 is not floating, thereby avoiding interference introduced by floating points.
2. The capacitance value of the sampling Cs can be supplemented by adjusting the capacitance values of the capacitors C5-C8, so that the sampling Cs can be amplified at a high magnification without being amplified greatly. For an amplification gain of 0.5 times, the total capacity value of Cf + C1+ C2+ C3+ C4 is only required to be twice of the sample Cs. The overall capacitance is greatly reduced.
3. In FIG. 3, the four dual-signal channels S5-S8 are controlled by control signals Reg [1] -Reg [4], respectively, and when the dual-signal channel is set to 1, the right plate of the corresponding adjusting capacitor is connected to the left node of the sampling Cs, and the value of the sampling Cs is increased.
4. The capacitance value of the capacitor can be selected according to the requirement of gain, for example, the simplest capacitance ratio is: the sampling capacitance Cs is 4 times, the adjusting capacitance C5 is 1 time, the adjusting capacitance C6 is 1 time, the adjusting capacitance C7 is 2 times, the adjusting capacitance C8 is 4 times, and the feedback capacitance Cf is 0, and the achievable gains are shown in table 1:

0000 4/(1+1+2+4) 0.5
0100 (4+2)/(1+1+4) 1
1000 (4+4)/(1+1+2) 2
1100 (4+4+2)/(1+1) 5
1110 (4+4+2+1)/1 11
Table 1 only shows four combinations, and other combinations are not listed. If the capacitance is set to 30 times the sampling capacitance Cs, 8 times the adjusting capacitance C5, 12 times the adjusting capacitance C6, 15 times the adjusting capacitance C7, 15 times the adjusting capacitance C8, and 10 times the feedback capacitance Cf, the gain that can be achieved is as shown in table 2:

0000 30/(8+12+15+15+10) 0.5
1000 (30+15)/(10+8+12+15) 1
1100 (30+15+15)/(10+8+12) 2
1110 (30+12+15+15)/(10+8) 4
1111 (30+8+12+15+15)/10 8
