Abstract
CMOS pixel having a dual conversion gain readout circuit, including at least one first photodiode (PD), a diffusion region (FD) having a first capacitance (CFD) for accommodating a charge of the at least one first photodiode (PD), the dual conversion gain readout circuit being designed to read out the charge of the diffusion region (FD) with the aid of a first amplification factor and with the aid of a second amplification factor, the CMOS pixel including at least one second photodiode (PD), the diffusion region (FD) furthermore being designed to accommodate a charge of the at least one second photodiode (PD), and the dual conversion gain readout circuit being designed to read out the charge of the diffusion region (FD) with the aid of at least one third amplification factor and at least one fourth amplification factor.
