Abstract
Global shutter image sensors, imaging systems, and methods for operating global shutter image sensor. The global shutter image sensor includes a pixel array and a controller. The pixel array includes a correction pixel and a plurality of image pixels positioned around the correction pixel. The correction pixel and each of the plurality of image pixels include a photodetector, a storage diode, and a frame transfer transistor. The photodetector is configured to accumulate charge in response to incident light. The frame transfer transistor is coupled between the photodetector and the storage diode. The first row driver coupled to the frame transfer transistor in each of the plurality of image pixels. The second row driver coupled to the frame transfer transistor in the correction pixel.
