Abstract:
An example image sensor includes a plurality of pixels arranged in an array of columns and rows, a row driver, and a control logic circuit. The row driver is coupled to pixels in a row of the array to provide a variable driving voltage to drive transistors included in the pixels of the row. The control logic circuit is coupled to provide one or more control logic signals to the row driver. The row driver adjusts a magnitude of the driving voltage in response to the one or more control logic signals.
