摘要: A CMOS image sensor with reducing interconnections is provided. The CMOS image sensor may include a first row of pixels that includes a first pixel. The first pixel may include a first plurality of photodiodes and a first plurality of transfer gates. Each of the first plurality of photodiodes may be associated with a corresponding one of the first plurality of transfer gates. The CMOS image sensor may include a second row of pixels that includes a second pixel. The second pixel may include a second plurality of photodiodes and a second plurality of transfer gates. Each of the second plurality of photodiodes may be associated with a corresponding one of the second plurality of transfer gates. A first one of the transfer gates of the first plurality of transfer gates may be coupled to a first one of the transfer gates of the second plurality of transfer gates.

摘要: A camera using a CMOS image sensor based on a shared pixel array technology avails both high definition (HD) and ultra-high definition (UHD) resolution mode formats. Dynamic pixel management allows for both sequential and binned timing formats of pixel signals using switched capacitor noise reduction techniques. When UHD resolution mode is selected, noise can be reduced using both digital double sampling (DDS) or differential digital double sampling (dDDS), and when HD resolution mode is selected noise can be reduced using DDS. Additionally, both rolling shutter and global shutter modes can be selected when HD resolution mode is selected.
