Claim 10:
11. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the static threshold voltage is a first static threshold voltage; and
wherein the processing circuits are configured to:
compare the first voltage against a second static threshold voltage representing a saturation capacity of the charge storage unit to generate a fourth decision;
store a second flag value indicating the fourth decision in the register;
store, based on the fourth decision, a third count value from the counter as a third digital value, the first digital value, or the second digital value in the memory; and
output, based on the first flag value and the second flag value, one of the first digital value, the second digital value or the third digital value from the memory to represent the intensity of light received by the photodiode.
