Abstract
An image sensor includes a data formatter and a transformer. The data formatter divides N-bit data into K-bit units with N and K being natural numbers and with K<N. The transformer is configured to generate an output signal having a respective signal level selected from at least three possible levels depending on each K-bit unit received from the data formatter for high speed operation of the transformer and the data formatter.
