Abstract
A camera using a CMOS image sensor based on a shared pixel array technology avails both high definition (HD) and ultra-high definition (UHD) resolution mode formats. Dynamic pixel management allows for both sequential and binned timing formats of pixel signals using switched capacitor noise reduction techniques. When UHD resolution mode is selected, noise can be reduced using both digital double sampling (DDS) or differential digital double sampling (dDDS), and when HD resolution mode is selected noise can be reduced using DDS. Additionally, both rolling shutter and global shutter modes can be selected when HD resolution mode is selected.
