Abstract

Various embodiments of the present disclosure relate to the field of image sensors, in particular to complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) imager sensors having reduced power consumption. One exemplary CMOS image sensor includes an array of pixel cells arranged in a plurality of rows and columns, where each of at least some columns are driven with two or more column lines, each column line configured to read out voltages on a respective sub-set of pixels. Other exemplary CMOS image sensors include a bias current source which may be time multiplexed between multiple column lines, where the multiple column lines may be associated either with the same or different columns.
