Abstract:
An apparatus of one aspect includes an array of pixels. Each of the pixels includes a photosensitive element and a transfer transistor coupled with the photosensitive element. Each of the transfer transistors has a transfer gate. The apparatus also includes a first transfer gate off voltage supply conductor and a second transfer gate off voltage supply conductor. A circuit is coupled with the first and second transfer gate off voltage supply conductors. The circuit is operable to couple the first transfer gate off voltage supply conductor to transfer gates of a first subset of the pixels of the array. The circuit is also operable to concurrently couple the second transfer gate off voltage supply conductor to transfer gates of a second subset of the pixels of the array.
