A synchronous 4T CMOS image sensor pixel with in-pixel amplification reaches 0.9e- readout noise, 1.5e- overall noise and 300μV/e- pixel conversion factor. An asynchronous 6T pixel for time-resolved pulse detection shows an amplitude noise of 12e-.text::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
