Abstract
A sensor device includes multiple pixels for receiving light and converting it into photocurrents, which are then transformed into photovoltages by corresponding current-voltage converters. Each photovoltage is stored in a capacitor linked to its converter. The device features event detection units that identify changes in light intensity based on these photovoltages, determining if they exceed a set threshold. The device's circuitry enables two operation modes: one where an event detection unit receives the photovoltage from a single pixel, and another where it receives a combined photovoltage from multiple pixels.
