Abstract:
An imaging system may comprise a plurality of pixels to selectively operate in a first operating mode or a second operating mode. When operating in the first operating mode, the plurality of pixels is binned during an exposure phase such that an output during a readout phase corresponds to a summed photocurrent that is a sum of a plurality of concurrent photocurrents, each corresponding to one of the plurality of pixels. When operating in the second operating mode, the plurality of pixels is not binned during the exposure phase such that an output during the readout phase corresponds to a set of separate photocurrents, each corresponding to one of a set of the plurality of pixels.

Claim (Index 20):
An imaging system, comprising:\n a plurality of pixels, each including a respective individual reset switch and a respective individual hold switch; a global reset switch,\n wherein the global reset switch is connected to a reset voltage and to all of the pixels included in the plurality of pixels; and \n a global select switch,\n wherein the global select switch is connected to all of the pixels included in the plurality of pixels, and to an analog-to-digital convertor (ADC).
