Claim 17:
18. A method comprising:
enabling one or more photodiodes within a set of photodiodes to generate charge in response to a different component of incident light, wherein the set of photodiodes is part of multiple distinct sets of photodiodes, wherein each set of photodiodes is configured to convert a component of incident light of a unique wavelength range to charge;
transferring the charge from the one or more photodiodes to one or more charge sensing units;
controlling performance of one or more quantization processes to quantize voltages from the one or more charge sensing units to digital values representing components of a pixel of different wavelength ranges; and
generating a pixel value based on the at least some of the digital values.
