ABSTRACT:
A linear image sensor with low noise and low power consumption comprises both high and low resolution analog shift registers for each photocell array. Noise in the output signals is decreased by driving either the low resolution analog shift register or the high resolution analog shift register depending on a required resolution. The power consumption of the linear image sensor is decreased because a charge detector receives charges from the high and low resolution analog shift registers.
