ABSTRACT:
The image sensor includes an array of pixels. Each pixel has a pinned photodiode which transfers charge via a transfer gate to a floating diffusion, from which output is provided by a source follower. Each column has a voltage supply line and a signal line. Each row has a transfer gate control line, a read/reset control line, and a read/reset voltage line which receives alternately zero volts and a predetermined positive voltage from a decoder circuit.
