摘要:
A pixel of an image sensor includes a pinned photodiode (PPD), a switching device and an output circuit. A first terminal of the switching device is coupled to the PPD. A second terminal of the switching device is coupled to a floating diffusion (FD). A third terminal of the switching device is coupled to a first enable signal and a second enable signal. The switching device is responsive to the first enable signal to transfer a first charge on the PPD to the FD, and responsive to the second enable signal to transfer a second charge on the PPD to the FD. The output circuit outputs a first voltage based on the first charge and outputs a second voltage based on the second charge in which the first voltage corresponds to a time of flight of one or more detected photons and the second voltage corresponds to a greyscale image.
