Abstract:
A comparator may include: a comparison block suitable for comparing a ramp signal and a pixel signal and outputting a comparison signal; and a gain acquisition and noise reduction block suitable for amplifying the comparison signal outputted from the comparison block to acquire a gain and reduce an occurrence of noise.

Claim (Index 15):
The comparator of  claim 14 , wherein the comparison block comprises:\n a first PMOS transistor having a diode-connection structure in which a source terminal thereof is connected to a first supply voltage and gate and drain terminals thereof are connected to each other; a second PMOS transistor having a diode-connection structure in which a source terminal thereof is connected to the first supply voltage and gate and drain terminals thereof are connected to each other; a first capacitor having one terminal configured to receive the first input signal and the other terminal connected to a gate terminal of a first NMOS transistor; a second capacitor having one terminal configured to receive the second input signal and the other terminal connected to a gate terminal of a second NMOS transistor; the first NMOS transistor having a drain terminal connected to the drain terminal of the first PMOS transistor, the gate terminal connected to the other terminal of the first capacitor, and a source terminal connected to a second supply voltage through a first current source; the second NMOS transistor having a drain terminal connected to the drain terminal of the second PMOS transistor, the gate terminal connected to the other terminal of the second capacitor, and a source terminal connected to the second supply voltage through the first current source; a first switch connected between the drain and gate terminals of the first NMOS transistor; and a second switch connected between the gate terminal of the second NMOS transistor and an output node.
