Abstract

An example gate driver for an array of sensing pixels is disclosed. The gate driver includes a first flip-flop including a first data input and a first data output. The first data output is coupled to a first group of sensing pixels of the array. The gate driver also includes a second flip-flop including a second data input and a second data output. The second data output is coupled to a second group of sensing pixels of the array. The gate driver further includes a first insertion circuit configured to receive a first start signal and to cause, based on the first start signal, the second flip-flop to drive the second group of sensing pixels without the first flip-flop driving the first group of sensing pixels for a scan of the array.
