Abstract
An active pixel sensor arrangement that provides sub-sampling and reset of all pixel cells after sub-sampling. In one embodiment, logic is provided between sampled and non-sampled rows to propagate reset signals to the non-sampled rows when the sampled rows are reset. In another embodiment, reset of non-sampled rows is implemented with control logic.
