This work fits the measured in-pixel source-follower noise in a CMOS Quanta Image Sensor (QIS) prototype chip using physics-based 1/f noise models, rather than the widely-used fitting model for analog designers. This paper discusses the different origins of 1/f noise in QIS devices and includes correlated double sampling (CDS). The modelling results based on the Hooge mobility fluctuation, which uses one adjustable parameter, match the experimental measurements, including the variation in noise from room temperature to –70 °C. This work provides useful information for the implementation of QIS in scientific applications and suggests that even lower read noise is attainable by further cooling and may be applicable to other CMOS analog circuits and CMOS image sensors.

This paper presents a low distortion analog front-end (AFE) circuit to process electret microphone output signal. A source follower is employed for the input buffer to interface electret microphone directly to the IC with level shifting. A single-ended to differential converter with output common-mode control is presented to compensate the common-mode variation resulted from gate to source voltage variation in the source follower. A replica stage is adopted to control the output bias voltage of the single-ended to differential converter. The prototype AFE circuit fabricated in a 0.35μm CMOS technology achieves 68.2dB peak SNDR and 79.9dB SFDR over an audio signal bandwidth of 20kHz with 2.5V supply while consuming 1.05mW.
