Abstract:
A conditional correlated multiple sampling (CCMS) single slope (SS) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is provided. The CCMS SS ADC includes a comparator, arranged to compare an analog signal with a ramp signal and generate a comparison result; and a CCMS control circuit, arranged to determine a swing of the ramp signal according to a magnitude of the analog signal. An image sensor system using the CCMS SS ADC and a method of CCMS SS analog-to-digital conversion are also disclosed.

Claim (Index 18):
The analog-to-digital conversion method of  claim 17 , wherein counting the cycle number of the reference clock until the magnitude of the first ramp signal or the magnitude of the second ramp signal reaches the magnitude of the analog signal to generate the counting result comprises:\n counting the cycle number of the reference clock until the magnitude of the first ramp signal or the magnitude of the second ramp signal reaches the magnitude of the analog signal to generate the counting result for m or n times respectively
