Abstract

A photosensitive pixel comprises a photodiode; a first charge transfer gate; a charge storage and transfer electrode; a second charge transfer gate; a sensing node; a reset gate coupled to the charge storage and transfer electrode; a drain coupled to the reset gate; and an amplifier coupled to the sensing node. The first charge transfer gate is controlled via a first control signal from a controller to couple the photodiode to the charge storage and transfer electrode so as to allow charge transfer. The second charge transfer gate is controlled via a second control signal from the controller to couple the charge storage and transfer electrode to the sensing node so as to allow charge transfer. The second transfer gate, the charge storage and transfer electrode, and the reset gate are controlled via third control signals from the controller to reset an electric potential of the sensing node.
