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 5):
The active pixel sensor of  claim 4 , further comprising:\n a column defect memory to store information indicating whether a column in which the first pixel circuit is disposed is defective; and a first column multiplexer coupled to the row defect memory and the column defect memory, the first column multiplexer configured to select the second pixel circuit responsive to the information stored in the row defect memory indicating that the row in which the first pixel circuit is disposed is defective, or the information stored in the column defect memory indicating that the column in which the first pixel circuit is disposed is defective.
