Abstract
The invention is directed to an operating method for an image-sensing unit and the image-sensing device using the same. The image-sensing unit comprises a photogate, a photodiode assembled with the photogate, and a first switch. One terminal of the first switch is coupled to a reference voltage, and the other terminal thereof is coupled to the photodiode. The operating method comprises: (a)Applying a first voltage to the photogate, (b)Turning on a first switch, (c)Turning off the first switch at a first time, (d)The photodiode being irradiated by a light, (e)Stopping applying a first voltage value to the photogate at a second time, (f)Applying a second voltage to the photogate at a third time, and (g)Maintaining the turn-off state of the first switch until a fourth time. The operating method for an image-sensing unit enables the image-sensing device using the same to enhance the dynamic range thereof.
