IMAGE SENSOR WITH MULTIPLE PIXEL ACCESS SETTINGS

An image sensor may include an array of pixels arranged in rows and columns. Row control circuitry may be coupled to the array of pixels to reset, control charge transfer, and read out operations. Pixel access circuitry in processing circuitry may provide control signals to row control circuitry to...

More Information
Summary:An image sensor may include an array of pixels arranged in rows and columns. Row control circuitry may be coupled to the array of pixels to reset, control charge transfer, and read out operations. Pixel access circuitry in processing circuitry may provide control signals to row control circuitry to access the array of pixels using multiple pixel access settings. In particular, by using multiple pixel access setting, the array of pixels may successively and efficiently generate image frames of different types.
