The readout circuit 200 is coupled to the sensor 300 to receive the signal IIN and is configured to generate a multi-bit digital output DOUT based on the received signal IIN. The readout circuit 200 may include an amplifier circuitry 220, an ADC 230, a control logic 240, and a feedback circuit 250. In some embodiments, the sensor 300, the feedback circuit 250 and the amplifier circuitry 220 are coupled to each other through a connection node N. A differential signal that is obtained based on a difference between feedback signal IFB and the input signal IIN is generated at the connection node N. In some embodiments, the differential signal at the connection node N may be a current signal indicating a difference between the input signal IIN and the feedback signal IFB.
