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 8):
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 for four adjoining sensor pixels, circuitry of the second pixel circuit of a given one of the four adjoining sensor pixels is disposed nearer the circuitry of the second pixel circuit of each of the other four adjoining sensor pixels than to the circuitry of the first pixel circuit of the each of the other four adjoining sensor pixels.
