    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an image sensor with temperature sensing including a pixel array having a plurality of pixels, wherein at least one of the pixels includes a photodiode and is configured to be operated in a light sensing mode for sensing light radiation incident on the photodiode, and in a temperature sensing mode for sensing a temperature of the at least one pixel. The image sensor is configured so that, in the light sensing mode of the at least one pixel, a voltage across the photodiode caused by the light radiation incident on the photodiode is evaluated, and, in the temperature sensing mode of the at least one pixel, a current is forced through the photodiode and the voltage across the photodiode, caused by the current forced through the photodiode, is evaluated.
