Abstract

A pixel circuit includes a pixel array and a color filter. The pixel array includes a plurality of pixels each comprising two photodiodes, a floating diffusion coupled between the two photodiodes, and two transfer transistor coupled between the two photodiodes and the floating diffusion. The color filter array includes a plurality of color filters each having one of a plurality of colors and disposed over at least one of the pixels. Each pixel is coupled to a first readout circuit. The pixels include a second subset of the pixels coupled to a second readout circuit and a first subset of the pixels not coupled to the second readout circuit. Each pair of pixels arranged in two adjacent rows includes a first pixel included in the second subset of the pixels and a second pixel included in the first subset of the pixels and disposed underneath one of the color filters.
