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 11):
The CMOS image sensor of  claim 7 , wherein the second comparison block includes:\n a fourth capacitor suitable for transferring the residue voltage outputted from the first comparison block to a second comparator; a seventh switch coupled to form a feedback loop between a negative input node of the second comparator and an output node of the second comparator; an eighth switch coupled between a positive input node of the second comparator and a ground terminal; a ninth switch suitable for switching on or off the fine ramping voltage; and the second comparator suitable for comparing the residue voltage applied through the fourth capacitor to the fine ramping voltage applied through the ninth switch and outputting the third comparison result signal.
