Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. An imaging module comprising:
an array of image sensor pixels;
a voltage-controlled delay line having a plurality of outputs;
delay lock circuitry coupled to the voltage-controlled delay line and configured to control the voltage-controlled delay line to provide the plurality of outputs with distributed delays based on a plurality of bias voltages, wherein the delay lock circuitry includes:
a first phase detector that receives a first signal from a first location on the voltage-controlled delay line and receives a second signal from a second location on the voltage-controlled delay line, and
a second phase detector that receives the first signal and the second signal; and

a plurality of driver units each coupled to a corresponding output in the plurality of outputs and each configured to generate a control signal for a set of image sensor pixels in the array based on the corresponding output.
