ABSTRACT:
A pixel circuit having a shared control line for providing two control signals to the pixel array. One control line is used to provide a control signal to both a high dynamic range circuit and a dual conversion gain circuit to two pixel circuits. The pixel circuits each contain two pixel cells that have separate photo-conversion devices but share readout circuitry.
