Abstract:
Circuits for self-powered image sensors are provided. In some embodiments, an image sensor is provided, the image comprising: a plurality of pixels, each of the plurality of pixels comprising: a photodiode having an anode and a cathode connected to a constant voltage level; a first transistor having: a first input connected to the anode of the photodiode; a first output connected to a reset bus; and a first control configured to receive a discharge signal; and a second transistor having: a second input connected to the anode of the photodiode; a second output connected to a pixel output bus; and a second control configured to receive a select signal; and a third transistor having: a third input coupled to each first output via the reset bus; a third output configured to be coupled to an energy storage device; and a third control configured to receive an energy harvest signal.

Claim (Index 7):
The image sensor of  claim 6 , further comprising a third transistor having:\n a fifth input coupled to each first output via the reset bus; a fourth output connected to the constant voltage level; and a fourth control configured to receive a global reset signal, wherein applying the discharge signal and the reset signal simultaneously causes the anode of the photodiode of each pixel of the plurality of pixels to be coupled to the constant voltage level, and wherein the discharge signal and the energy harvest signal simultaneously causes the anode of the photodiode of each pixel of the plurality of pixels to be coupled to the energy storage device.
