Abstract
A method of operating a CMOS imager is presented wherein a reset transistor source/drain of a first pixel is biased with a first voltage source, a source follower transistor of a second pixel is biased with the same first voltage source, a reset transistor source/drain of the second pixel is biased with a second voltage source, and the first voltage source is dropped to ground during a reset of the second pixel.
