Abstract:
An analog-to-digital converter including a comparator configured to compare a pixel signal received at a first input terminal of the comparator with a ramp signal received at a second input terminal of the comparator and generate a comparison signal as a result of the comparison; and a ramp signal supply circuit configured to provide the ramp signal to the comparator, wherein the ramp signal supply circuit generates a first signal as part of the ramp signal in response to the comparison signal and a first clock signal being received at the ramp signal supply circuit, wherein a slope of the first signal sequentially changes until the comparison signal makes a transition from one logic level to another and, after the transition, the ramp signal supply circuit generates a second signal as part of the ramp signal, wherein a slope of the second signal sequentially changes, wherein the slope of the second signal is opposite the slope of the first signal.
