Abstract:
An active pixel sensor a plurality of sensor pixels disposed in a row, a plurality of sensor pixels in a column, and steering circuitry coupled to each of the sensor pixels. Each of the sensor pixels includes a first pixel circuit, and a second pixel circuit. For each of the sensor pixels, the steering circuitry includes a first switch, a second switch, a third switch, and a fourth switch. The first switch and the second switch are connected in series to route an input signal to the first pixel circuit. The third switch and a fourth switch are connected in parallel to route the input signal to the second pixel circuit.

Claim (Index 9):
An active pixel sensor, comprising:\n a plurality of sensor pixels disposed in a row; a plurality of sensor pixels in a column; and steering circuitry coupled to each of the sensor pixels; wherein each of the sensor pixels comprises:\n a first pixel circuit; and \n a second pixel circuit; and \n for each of the sensor pixels, the steering circuitry comprises:\n a first switch and a second switch connected in series to route an input signal to the first pixel circuit; and \n a third switch and a fourth switch connected in parallel to route the input signal to the second pixel circuit;\n wherein vertical interconnect accesses in conductors for row control signals and conductors for column control signals are not connected by jumper metal.
