Abstract:
An example imaging system includes a plurality of pixel circuits each having a photodiode, a biasing circuit and a charge-to-voltage converter. The photodiode is configured to generate charges in response to light or radiation. The biasing circuit includes an operational amplifier having an input signal port for receiving a bias reference signal which controls a bias current flowing through an internal circuit of the operational amplifier. The charge-to-voltage converter is configured to accumulate the charges drained by the biasing circuit and convert the accumulated charges into a corresponding output voltage.

Claim (Index 4):
The imaging system of  claim 1 , wherein:\n the first charge-to-voltage converter comprises:\n a first end coupled to a cathode of the photodiode; and \n a second end for outputting the output voltage; and \n the operational amplifier comprises:\n a non-inverting input end; \n an inverting input end coupled to the cathode of the photodiode; \n an output end coupled to the second end of the first charge-to-voltage converter; and \n an input signal port for receiving the bias reference signal; and \n the biasing circuit further comprises a voltage source coupled between an anode of the photodiode and the non-inverting input end of the operational amplifier to provide the constant bias voltage.
