ABSTRACT:
An image sensor and method, which includes a switching device for establishing a connection between at least one column line and one of at least two analog-to-digital converter blocks, where at least one of the at least two analog-to-digital converter blocks is connectable to at least two rows of a plurality of unit pixels. An image sensor and method, where, if a row line is odd, column outputs from odd column lines of an active pixel sensor array are connected to a first correlated double sampling block and column outputs from even column lines of the active pixel sensor array are connected to a second correlated double sampling block and if the row line is even, column outputs from odd column lines of the active pixel sensor array are connected to the second correlated double sampling block and column outputs from even column lines of the active pixel sensor array are connected to the first correlated double sampling block. An image sensor and method where a first subset of a plurality of unit pixels are connected to a first correlated double sampling block and a second subset of the plurality of unit pixels are connected to a second correlated double sampling block, where the first subset of the plurality of unit pixels are blue and red pixels and the second subset of the plurality of unit pixels are green pixels. A circuit and method for reducing fixed pattern noise.
