Abstract:
1. An apparatus for panning a window in CMOS image sensor having a pixel array consisted of a plurality of unit pixels and a row driving part for driving a row of the pixel array according to a row address, the apparatus comprising: an address generating part for generating a row address and a column address for panning, wherein the row address for panning is sum of a row start address and window height for panning and the column address for panning is sum of a column start address and window width for panning; an analog-digital converting part for receiving analog pixel data of the row selected by the row driving part and converting the analog pixel data to digital pixel data; and a line buffering part for receiving the digital pixel data outputted from the analog-digital converting part and selectively outputting one among the digital pixel data according to the column address, wherein the line buffering part includes:
