Abstract

An image capture device includes an image sensor, a reading component, a timing generator, and a voltage regulator. The image sensor includes a temperature sensor configured to measure temperature measurements of the image sensor. The reading component is configured to read the temperature measurements from the temperature sensor. The timing generator is configured to apply an electronic shutter pulse to the image sensor. The voltage regulator is coupled between the temperature sensor and the reading component for regulating increased voltage at the reading component resulting from the electronic shutter pulse.
