An image sensor includes a pixel array including pixel blocks, each comprising a light receiving section including unit pixels sharing a floating diffusion; and a driving section including a reset transistor and a driver transistor, wherein the pixel blocks include a first pixel block and a second pixel block which are adjacent to each other in a first direction, and a third pixel block and a fourth pixel block which are adjacent to the first pixel block and the second pixel block, respectively, in a second direction, and wherein the reset transistor of the first pixel block and the reset transistor of the second pixel block share a drain between the reset transistors, and the driver transistor of the third pixel block and the driver transistor of the fourth pixel block share a drain between the driver transistors.

Image sensor

A pixel output level control device may include: a pixel output level control unit suitable for controlling a pixel output level of a pixel signal of a pixel for reducing the time required for settling the pixel signal during a specific period; and a pixel output level retention unit suitable for maintaining the pixel output level of the pixel signal during the specific period to a fixed value, according to control of the pixel output level control unit.

Pixel output level control device and CMOS image sensor using the same

A unit pixel apparatus may include a plurality of unit pixels including a reset transistor, each unit pixel being suitable for outputting a pixel signal corresponding to incident light; a reset transistor gate voltage transmission unit suitable for transmitting a plurality of reset transistor gate voltages; and a first voltage switching unit suitable for transmitting a first supply voltage among the plurality of reset transistor gate voltages to a gate terminal of the reset transistor in each of the unit pixels during a period from an exposure start time to just before a readout time.
