Abstract
A novel image sensor includes error detection circuitry for detecting sequencing errors. In a particular embodiment a pattern is inserted into a captured image and an image processor detects sequencing errors by determining a location of the pattern. In a more particular embodiment, the image sensor includes a pixel array, arranged in columns and rows. A row select signal is encoded as a bitwise signal, and the bitwise signal is decoded by a multi-input AND gate associated with a particular column of the image sensor, based on a relationship between rows and columns of the pixel array. The relationship determines the pattern asserted into the captured image.
