Abstract:
An image sensor includes a plurality of pixels each including a first photodiode linked to a capacitive readout node by a first transistor, and a second photodiode linked to a first capacitive storage node by a second transistor, the first capacitive node being linked to the readout node by a third transistor, and the readout node being linked to a node for applying a reset potential by a fourth transistor.
