What is the relation between full well and shot noise? Part 2

Although the shot noise increases with the signal, its relative contribution reduces As discussed in the first blog in this two-part series, in shot-noise-limited applications, a higher full-well leads to a better signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The shot noise is proportional to the square root of your signal in electrons. Although the shot noise increases with…
