Abstract
Pixels with multiple operating modes (and associated systems, devices, and methods) are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a pixel arrangement includes a pixel including a first photosensor, a second photosensor, a floating diffusion, a first event vision sensor (EVS) connection coupling the pixel to first EVS readout circuitry and configured to receive first charge from the first photosensor, and a second EVS connection coupling the pixel to second EVS readout circuitry and configured to receive second charge from the second photosensor. The pixel further includes a first transfer transistor selectively coupling the first photosensor to the floating diffusion, a second transfer transistor selectively coupling the first photosensor to the first EVS connection, and a third transfer transistor selectively coupling the second photosensor to the floating diffusion. In some embodiments, the pixel further includes a fourth transfer transistor selectively coupling the second photosensor to the second EVS connection.
