  • Publication number: 20090109305
    Abstract: Embodiments of a process comprising receiving a plurality of offset analog signals, each corresponding to one of a plurality of black pixels in a pixel array; obtaining a corresponding digital value for each offset analog signal; computing an average of the digital values; and computing a black-level offset that, if applied to the digital values, would make the average of the digital values equal to a target value. Also disclosed are embodiments of an apparatus comprising an analog-to-digital converter coupled to an analog channel to receive offset analog black pixel signals from the analog channel and to obtain a corresponding digital value for each offset analog signal; circuitry and logic coupled to the analog-to-digital converter to average the digital values corresponding to the black pixels and compute a black-level offset that, if applied to the digital values of the black pixels, would make the average of the digital values of the black pixels equal to a target value.
