N2 - This paper presents a new CMOS active pixel sensor (APS) architecture aimed at compensating the effects of dark current. The suggested circuit consists of an innovative multi-branch differential amplifier configured as a multi-input negative feedback integrator. In addition to its inherent dark current compensation mechanism, the proposed circuit offers a wide dynamic range and an excellent linearity.
