An image sensor, comprising: at least one pixel (300, 350) having: a photodiode (302, 352) that generates electrons in response to light detected during an integration time; a storage circuit (306, 356) that, in response to the electrons, generates an output voltage that is applied to an output line (310, 360); a transfer circuit (304, 354) that transfers the electrons from the photodiode (302, 352) to the storage circuit (306, 356) upon activation of the transfer circuit (304, 354); a shutter circuit (330, 380) configured to control the integration time of the photodiode (302, 352); and a shutter control circuit (340, 392/394) coupled to the shutter circuit (330, 380) to control a supply voltage to the photodiode (302, 352), wherein the shutter control circuit (340, 392/394) outputs a pulsed voltage at a first voltage level to activate the shutter circuit (330, 380) before the integration time to reset a voltage of the photodiode (302, 352) to a photodiode reset voltage, and wherein, during the integration time, the shutter control circuit (340, 392/394) outputs a pulsed voltage at a second voltage level less than the first level causing the shutter circuit (330, 380) to prevent the voltage of the photodiode (302, 352) from decreasing beyond a photodiode threshold and erroneously activating the transfer circuit (304, 354) during the integration time. at least one pixel (300, 350) having: a photodiode (302, 352) that generates electrons in response to light detected during an integration time; a storage circuit (306, 356) that, in response to the electrons, generates an output voltage that is applied to an output line (310, 360); a transfer circuit (304, 354) that transfers the electrons from the photodiode (302, 352) to the storage circuit (306, 356) upon activation of the transfer circuit (304, 354); a shutter circuit (330, 380) configured to control the integration time of the photodiode (302, 352); and a shutter control circuit (340, 392/394) coupled to the shutter circuit (330, 380) to control a supply voltage to the photodiode (302, 352), a photodiode (302, 352) that generates electrons in response to light detected during an integration time; a storage circuit (306, 356) that, in response to the electrons, generates an output voltage that is applied to an output line (310, 360); a transfer circuit (304, 354) that transfers the electrons from the photodiode (302, 352) to the storage circuit (306, 356) upon activation of the transfer circuit (304, 354); a shutter circuit (330, 380) configured to control the integration time of the photodiode (302, 352); and a shutter control circuit (340, 392/394) coupled to the shutter circuit (330, 380) to control a supply voltage to the photodiode (302, 352), wherein the shutter control circuit (340, 392/394) outputs a pulsed voltage at a first voltage level to activate the shutter circuit (330, 380) before the integration time to reset a voltage of the photodiode (302, 352) to a photodiode reset voltage, and wherein, during the integration time, the shutter control circuit (340, 392/394) outputs a pulsed voltage at a second voltage level less than the first level causing the shutter circuit (330, 380) to prevent the voltage of the photodiode (302, 352) from decreasing beyond a photodiode threshold and erroneously activating the transfer circuit (304, 354) during the integration time.
