    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a DAC that includes: a first pixel including a first transfer gate coupling a memory node of the first pixel and a capacitive sensing node (SN); a second pixel comprising a first transfer gate coupling a memory node of the second pixel and the capacitive SN; a reset transistor coupling the sensing node to a first voltage supply rail; and a control circuit configured to store electrical charge by activating the reset transistor to apply a reference voltage to the memory node of each of the first and second pixels; and generate a voltage of the DAC at the sensing node by deactivating the reset transistor and controlling the first transfer gates of the first and second pixels to transfer the charge stored.

    Abstract: A pixel arrangement includes a photodiode, a reset transistor configured to be controlled by a reset signal and coupled to a reset input voltage, a transfer gate transistor configured to transfer charge from the photodiode to a node, wherein the transfer gate transistor is controlled by a transfer gate voltage, and a source follower transistor controlled by the voltage on the node and coupled to a source follower voltage. A capacitor is coupled between the node and an input voltage. During a read operation the input voltage is increased to boost the voltage at the node. The increased input voltage may, for example, be one the reset input voltage, said source follower voltage, said transfer gate voltage and a boosting voltage.
