uses a monotonous linear conversion, or piece wise linear conversion when in companding mode.

Prior to A/D conversion, the signal value is stored on a Sample-and-Hold block after CDS block. The

result of conversion is stored in SRAM to be processed in digital domain.

7.3.2

ADC Companding Mode

The "companding" ADC mode allows to adapt the A/D conversion step to the increasing amount of

photon shot noise, which is inherent to the impinging optical signal as signal levels increase. This can

selectively amplify low light level signals. To ease re-linearization for further image treatment, the A/D

conversion step is doubled after each threshold. There are maximum three programmable thresholds

available. The thresholds are programmed over the serial configuration interface with a resolution of 8

bits, mapped to the 8 MSB of the conversion range. If using companding ADC mode, the three

thresholds must be strictly monotonous and smaller than the end of range register content.
