Dual-CDS Evaluation

Journal of Semiconductor Technology and Science publishes a paper "Design and Evaluation of a CMOS Image Sensor with Dual-CDS and Column-parallel SS-ADCs" by Bu-Yong Um, Jong-Ryul Kim, Sang-Hoon Kim, Jae-Hoon Lee, Jimin Cheon, Jaehyuk Choi, and Jung-Hoon Chun from Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon, Korea and Kumoh National Institute of Technology, Gumi, Korea.
