An image sensor includes a photosensitive element that generates an
electrical signal corresponding to light incident thereon and a ramp
signal generator that generates a ramp signal. Generation of the ramp
signal is initiated in response to activation of a ramp enable signal. An
offset adjusting circuit generates a counter enable signal after
activation of the ramp enable signal and after initiating generation of
the ramp signal. A counter initiates counting responsive to generation of
the counter enable signal. A latch latches a counter output responsive to
a comparison of the ramp signal and the electrical signal corresponding
to light incident on the photosensitive element. Related methods are also
discussed.
