• abstract: This work presents a CMOS image sensor architecture that uses the current variations of a self-biased photodiode, while it is exposed to light, and converts it into a digital word using a current controlled oscillator. Simulations performed show good linearity for a photodiode current range between 100 pA - 30 nA. Structures are proposed and implemented in 130 nm process technology for future measuring purposes.
