    Abstract:

    A pixel-level digital focal plane readout circuit was designed to overcome the charge capacity limitations of traditional analog readout circuit technology, enabling a larger dynamic range and lower noise digital image readout. Additionally, digital image processing is performed internally at the pixel level, enabling functions such as Non-Uniformity Correction(NUC), dead pixel compensation, digital Time-Delay Integration(TDI), and spatial filtering for image preprocessing. The circuit was fabricated using a 40 nm CMOS process with an array specification of 640×512, a pixel pitch of 30 μm, and the overall chip size is approximately 22 mm×19 mm. Test results indicate that the circuit can significantly reduce(by approximately 90% and 63%, respectively) the spatial noise in the output image through TDI and spatial filtering functions, thereby enhancing the image quality.
