Block Diagram
Fig 2.1 – Block diagram of PAS109
As the block diagram of PAS109 is shown in Figure 1. By pulling the CSB pin to low, the 164x124 sensor
starts to produce a signal according to the amount of the light integrated in pixels. An entire raw data is then fed
to a CDS readout array to reduce FPN noise and reset noise. A differential signal is then read out serially and fed
to a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) followed by a 10-bit A/D converter.
Voltage reference block generates all necessary voltage and current for sensor array and analog circuit.
