Abstract

Differential Binary Pixel Technology is a threshold-based timing, readout and image reconstruction method that utilizes sub-frame partial charge transfer technique in a standard four-transistor (4T) pixel CMOS Image sensor (CIS) to achieve HDR video with Stop Motion. This technology improves low light signal-tonoise ratio (SNR) by up to 21dB. The method is verified in silicon using a TSMC 65nm 1.1μm pixel technology 1 megapixel (MP) test chip array and is compared with a traditional 4× oversampling technique using full charge transfer. The test chip is also compared with the iPhone 6s rear view camera to show superior HDR video capability.
