Claim 17:
18. A method comprising:
enabling a first photodiode to generate a first charge in response to incident light;
enabling a second photodiode to generate a second charge in response to the incident light;
controlling a quantizer to perform a first quantization operation and a second quantization operation of the first charge to generate, respectively, a first digital output and a second digital output, the first quantization and the second quantization operations being associated with different intensity ranges;
storing one of the first digital output or the second digital output in a first memory bank;
controlling the quantizer to perform a third quantization operation of the second charge to generate a third digital output, the third quantization operation being associated with a different intensity range from at least one of the first quantization operation or the second quantization operation; and
storing the third digital output in a second memory bank.
