Patent ID: 11950011
Assignee: SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 8:
9. The image sensor of claim 3, which is configured to, during a time interval of a low conversion gain (LCG) mode within a readout period of the first photodiode,
turn on the second select transistor to output the amount of reset charges stored in the second capacitor as a reset signal,
after outputting the reset signal, turn on the second reset transistor to reset the second capacitor,
after resetting the second capacitor, turn on the sample transistor to store the amount of overflow charges in the second capacitor, and
after storing the amount of overflow charges in the second capacitor, turn on the second select transistor to output the amount of overflow charges stored in the second capacitor as an image signal.
