Abstract

A sensor includes control circuitry and a pixel. The pixel includes a photo site, a first storage node and a second storage node. The control circuitry causes the pixel to transfer a first collected signal from the photo site to the first storage node during a first period, to transfer a second collected signal from the photo site to the second storage node during a second period that follows the first period, and to transfer the first and second collected signals out of the pixel during a third period that follows the second period.
