ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, an image sensor includes an area pixel array, column readout lines, and array readout lines, wherein the area pixel array includes columns of pixels, each including pixels of a first type, each column readout line is selectively coupled to outputs of the pixels of the first type that are included in a respective column of pixels, and each array readout line is selectively coupled to at least one of the first column readout lines. In another embodiment, an image sensor includes a pixel array, column readout lines, and array readout lines, wherein the pixel array includes a row of pixels which includes pixels of a first type, each column readout line is selectively coupled to an output of a respective pixel of the first type that is included in the row of pixels, and each array readout line is selectively coupled to at least one of the column readout lines.
