一、課程說明(Course Description)
This course is organized on selected topics in the design and analysis of
mixed-signal IC design for CMOS image sensor. It covers quantitative analyses,
design considerations and system applications from circuit and architecture
viewpoints. Starting with an introduction of fundamentals of CIS, a variety of
smart CMOS imagers with different operations and structures will be discussed. For
application-wise design, sensor technologies like high dynamic range, low power,
low noise, and depth sensing etc. will be included. The mixed-signal IC design
and implementation of selected key blocks in CIS including analog-font-end (AFE)
and analog-to-digital converter are covered.
