Abstract

See full text

An image array with improved dynamic range has at least one photosite, at least one column sense line and at least one column clamp transistor. A source of the photosite is coupled to the column sense line. A source of the column clamp transistor is coupled to the photosite source. A drain of the column clamp transistor is coupled to a drain of the photosite. A gate of the column clamp transistor is provided for application of a .phi..sub.cc signal. The .phi..sub.cc signal is coupled through a capacitance to the column sense line.
