Abstract
A CMOS imaging facility is implemented on a substrate through a set of pixel circuits that are array-wise organized in lines and columns and each comprise a radiation-to-charge accumulator (), a transfer transistor () for transferring a representation of the charge, a reset transistor () fed by a reference voltage and a source follower transistor () for feeding a select transistor () that feeds the representation to an output array conductor. In particular, for respective pairs of adjacent column conductors the associated pixel transfer transistors will controllably pair wise share the accumulators in an interlace organization.
