Abstract
A multi-mode sensor assembly is described. The sensor assembly includes a first die and a second die. The first die includes a pixel array composed of color pixels that detect light in one or more color channels and sparse pixels. The color pixels and the sparse pixels are arranged to form macro pixels, and each macro pixel includes a respective subset of the color pixels and a respective subset of the sparse pixels. The second die is positioned below and coupled to the first die. The second die includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) array that is communicatively coupled to the sparse pixels such that each subset of the sparse pixels has a single corresponding ADC in the ADC array.
