Description
We propose an innovative concept to develop a novel, next generation, readout integrated circuit (ROIC) architecture to be used for Infrared (IR) High Dynamic Range (HDR) applications. The HDR ROIC will provide a reconfigurable readout architecture using a column adjustable per-pixel gain selection to allow on-the-fly wide dynamic range capability with column-parallel analog to digital converters (ADC). The signal-level adaptable processing will utilize the ADC Full-Scale (FS) dynamic range across all signal levels using a novel approach in the per column readout to be described in detail in the technical volume. The ROIC will also provide intelligent context adaptive sensing (ICAS) functionality to optimize operation over varying scene conditions.
