Anti-blooming protection of pixels in a pixel array for multiple scaling modes
Abstract:
Circuits and methods of generating control signals for transistors in a pixel row of a pixel array are disclosed. The circuits include a transfer transistor control signal row driver that includes a plurality of output branches and a reset transistor control signal row driver that includes a plurality of output branches. The row drivers output positive boosted control signals to selected pixel rows during a photosensor-to-floating diffusion region charge transfer phase and during a floating diffusion region reset phase and to unselected pixel rows during an initial part of an integration phase. The row drivers output positive non-boosted control signals to unselected non-integrating pixel rows.
