Abstract
A low-voltage (≤3.3 V) imaging technology has been developed to enable scientific-grade imagers with low-power complex functions on chip. A 128×128 CCD imager with on-chip clocking and charge-domain analog-to-digital conversion, as well as an exploratory active pixel sensor have been demonstrated. A 640×960 CCD imager with optimized 12 bit charge-domain conversion and an improved active pixel sensor are presently in fabrication.
