Abstract:
A comparator includes a first comparison block suitable for accumulating a difference value between a voltage of a pixel signal and a coarse step voltage, and outputting a residue voltage, representing a difference between a coarse ramping voltage of a ramp signal and the accumulated difference value; and a second comparison block suitable for comparing a fine ramping voltage to the residue voltage of the first comparison block and outputting a third comparison result signal.

Claim (Index 2):
The comparator of  claim 1 , wherein the first comparison block samples and transfers the pixel signal to an output node of the first comparison block, compares a voltage of the sampled pixel signal to the coarse ramping voltage of the ramp signal, outputs a first comparison result signal, samples the coarse step voltage, samples the accumulated difference value multiple times, compares the sampled and accumulated difference value to the coarse ramping voltage of the ramp signal, outputs a second comparison result signal, and outputs the residue voltage.
