Abstract:
An analog to digital converting circuit includes a correlated double sampling circuit (CDS) that compares a pixel signal with a ramp signal, and outputs a comparison signal, a timing amplifier that increases an active time of the comparison signal “N” times, and outputs an extended signal, wherein the “N” is a positive integer, and a counter that outputs a digital signal corresponding to the pixel signal in response to the extended signal and a first clock signal.

Claim (Index 11):
An analog to digital converting circuit comprising:\n a correlated double sampling circuit (CDS) configured to compare a pixel signal with a ramp signal, and to output a comparison signal; a counter configured to generate an internal comparison signal in response to the comparison signal and a first clock signal; and a timing amplifier configured to increase an active time of the internal comparison signal \u201cN\u201d times, and to output an internal extended signal, wherein the \u201cN\u201d is a positive integer, wherein the counter is further configured to: perform a first counting operation in response to the comparison signal and the first clock signal; perform a second counting operation in response to the internal extended signal and a second clock signal; and output a digital signal in response to a result of the first counting operation and a result of the second counting operation.
