Abstract

A pixel circuit () includes a photoreceptor circuit block (PR) configured to generate a photoreceptor signal. An analog-to-digital converter stage () is configured to compare a first input photoreceptor signal with at least one first threshold voltage and to compare a second input photoreceptor signal with at least one second threshold voltage. An electronic switch assembly () is configured to pass the photoreceptor signal to the first comparison in a first operating state and to pass the photoreceptor signal to the second comparison in a second operating state.
