Overview
The IBIS4-1300 is a digital CMOS active pixel image sensor with
SXGA format.
Due to a patented pixel configuration a 60% fill factor and 50%
quantum efficiency are obtained. This is combined with an
on-chip double sampling technique to cancel fixed pattern noise.

The IBIS4-1300 is an SXGA CMOS image sensor. The chip is composed of 3 modules: an image sensor core, a programmable gain
output amplifier, and an on-chip 10 bit ADC.
Figure 1.

Image Sensor Core – Focal Plane Array
The core of the sensor is the pixel array with 1280 x 1024 (SXGA)
active pixels. The name 'active pixels' refers to the amplifying
element in each pixel.
This type of pixels offer a high light sensitivity combined with low
temporal noise. The actual array size is 1286 x 1030 including
the 6 dummy pixels in X and Y. Although the dummy pixels fall
outside the SXGA format, their information can be used e.g. for
color filter array interpolation.

Principle
Y readout shift register
X shift register
Next to the pixel array there are two Y shift registers, and one X
shift register with the column amplifiers. The shift registers act as
pointers to a certain row or column. The Y readout shift register
accesses the row (line) of pixels that is currently readout. The X
shift register selects a particular pixel of this row. The second Y
shift register is used to point at the row of pixels that is reset. The
delay between both Y row pointers determines the integration
time -thus realizing the electronic shutter.
A clock and a synchronization pulse control the shift registers.
On every clock pulse, the pointer shifts one row/column further.

A sync pulse is used to reset and initialize the shift registers to
their first position.
The smart column amplifiers compensate the offset variations
between individual pixels. To do so, they need a specific pulse
pattern on specific control signals before the start of the row
readout.
Table 1.
summarizes the optical and electrical characteristics of
the image sensor. Some specifications are influenced by the
output amplifier gain setting (e.g., temporal noise, conversion
factor,...). Therefore, all specifications are referred to an output
amplifier gain equal to 1.

Note
1. The pixel rate can be boosted to 37.5 MHz. This requires a few measures.
❐
increase the analog bandwidth by halving the resistor on pin Nbias_oamp
❐
increase the ADC speed by the resistors related to the ADC speed (nbiasana1, nbiasana2, pbiasencload)
❐
experimentally fine tune the relative occurrence of the ADC clock relative to the X-pixel clock.
Note
2. The pure digital scan speed in X and Y direction is roughly 50 MHz. This is maximum speed for skipping rows and columns.
