Abstract
An image sensor including: a pixel circuit comprising a first transistor having one of its main conducting nodes connected to an output line, the other of its main conducting nodes coupled to a supply voltage rail via a read transistor, and its control node coupled to a sense node of the pixel circuit; a current source coupled to the output line; and a control circuit configured to read a pixel voltage from the pixel circuit by: activating the current source while the read transistor is non-conducting; and deactivating the current source and activating the read transistor of the pixel circuit in order to impose a boosted voltage at the sense node.
