Abstract
An image sensor and an operating method thereof are provided. The image sensor includes a first pixel circuit, a first column readout circuit, and a second column readout circuit. The first pixel circuit includes a first pixel unit, a first transfer transistor, a first reset transistor, a first readout transistor, and a first capacitor. The first column readout circuit includes a first circuit node. The second column readout circuit includes a bias transistor. A first terminal of the first reset transistor and a first terminal of the first readout transistor are coupled to the first circuit node, and a second terminal of the first readout transistor is coupled to the bias transistor.
