    IPC: G01S7/4865

    Abstract: An indirect time-of-flight (iTOF) includes a pixel with a photoconversion area, a readout circuit and at least two circuit sets. Each circuit set includes: a capacitive element connected to a first node of the circuit set; a controllable charge transfer device connected between a first electrode of the photoconversion area and the first node; and a first transistor having a gate connected to the first node, a source connected to the readout circuit and a drain configured to receive a bias potential. The capacitive element is configured to store a voltage in response to charges generated by the photoconversion area.

    Abstract: An image sensor includes pixels each including: a first transistor and a first switch that are connected in series between a first node configured to receive a first potential and an internal node of the pixel, a gate of the first transistor being coupled with a floating diffusion node of the pixel; a capacitive element, a first terminal of which is connected to the floating diffusion node of the pixel; and several assemblies each including a capacitance connected in series with a second switch coupling the capacitance to the internal node. The sensor also includes a control circuit configured to control, each time a voltage is stored in one of the assemblies of a pixel, an increase of a determined value of a difference in potential between the floating diffusion node and the internal node of the pixel.

    Abstract: A sensor includes pixels each including: a first transistor and a first switch in series between a first node and an internal node of the pixel, a gate of the first transistor being coupled to a second node; a capacitive element, a first terminal of which is connected to the second node; and a plurality of assemblies each including a capacitance in series with a second switch coupled to the internal node. The sensor includes a circuit configured to control, each time a voltage is stored in one of the assemblies, the interruption of a current between the first node and the internal node: by switching a first potential applied to a second terminal of the capacitive element; or by opening the first switch.

    Abstract: A photosensitive sensor is capable of operating in a global shutter mode and in a rolling shutter mode. The sensor includes at least one pixel with a photosensitive region configured to photogenerate charges. A first transfer gate is configured to transfer photogenerated charges from the photosensitive region to a transfer node. A source-follower transistor is configured to transmit a reading signal to a read node, in the global shutter mode, in a manner controlled by a potential of the photogenerated charges on the transfer node. A second transfer gate is configured to transfer the photogenerated charges from the photosensitive region to the read node in the rolling shutter mode.
