Abstract:
A light-sensing device includes a pixel array. Multiple pixels in the pixel array each includes pixel electronics. The pixel electronics include low light level electronics in communication with a light sensor and high light level electronics in communication with the same light sensor. The pixel electronics acquire data from the light sensor. During the data acquisition, the pixel electronics can transition between using the high light level electronics to acquire the data and using the low light level electronics to acquire the data.
