Abstract:
An image sensor pixel may include a photodiode that generates first charge for a first frame and second charge for a second frame, first and second storage gates coupled to the photodiode, a floating diffusion coupled to the first storage gate through a first transistor, a second transistor coupled to the second storage gate, and a capacitor coupled to the floating diffusion through a third transistor. The image sensor pixel may output image signals associated with the first charge generated by the photodiode for the first image frame while the photodiode concurrently generates the second charge for the second image frame. The second storage gate may be used to store overflow charge. Overflow charge for the second frame may be stored at the second storage gate while image signals associated with the first image frame are read out from capacitor and the floating diffusion.

Claim (Index 12):
An image sensor pixel, comprising:\n a photodiode that generates charge in response to incident light; a first storage gate coupled to the photodiode; a second storage gate coupled to the photodiode; a first charge transfer transistor coupled to the photodiode through the first charge storage gate; a second charge transfer transistor coupled to the photodiode through the second charge storage gate; a photodiode reset transistor coupled to the photodiode; a floating diffusion region coupled to the first storage gate through the first charge transfer transistor, wherein the second storage gate is operable to store an overflow charge generated by the photodiode and wherein the first storage gate is operable to store a remaining charge that remains on the photodiode after the overflow charge has been transferred to the second storage gate; a gain selection transistor coupled to the floating diffusion region; and a capacitor coupled to the floating diffusion region through the gain selection transistor.
