Abstract
An image sensor includes a pixel array with rows and columns of pixels. Each row of the pixel array has a first end that is opposite a second end of each row of the pixel array. Control circuitry is coupled to the first end of each row of the pixel array to provide control signals to each row of the pixel array from the first end of each row of the pixel array. Far end driver circuitry coupled to the second end of each row of the pixel array to selectively further drive from the second end of each row of the pixel array the control signals provided by the control circuitry from the first end of each row of the pixel array. The control circuitry is further coupled to provide far end control signals to the far end driver circuitry.
