Abstract
This application provides a pixel of an image sensor and an image sensor. The pixel may include an optical-to-electrical conversion circuit and a composite measurement circuit. The optical-to-electrical conversion circuit may be configured to generate a first current based on incident light that is incident on the pixel. The composite measurement circuit is coupled to the optical-to-electrical conversion circuit. The pixel may have a first operating mode and a second operating mode. The composite measurement circuit may generate a first pulse signal based on the first current when the pixel operates in the first operating mode, where the first pulse signal represents the intensity information of the incident light. When the pixel operates in the second operating mode, the pixel receives a plurality of sampling signals, and generates a plurality of second pulse signals based on the first current and the plurality of sampling signals.
