Abstract
An apparatus for increasing readout speed for Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors. The apparatus is useful with CMOS image sensors in all high-tech industries and used to capture images digitally. Specifically, the apparatus provides a CMOS image sensor which employs an analog network-on-chip for increasing readout speed. The apparatus includes an array of carrier signal generators which are used to modulate the pixel exposure to allow all pixels to be read and discerned simultaneously.
