Abstract

See full text

An imaging sensor device has an array of pixel sensors in rows and columns. The array comprises: a plurality of stitching blocks, each comprising a plurality of pixel sensors disposed in at least one row group; and first and second groups of addressing lines, the arrangement of pixel sensors and addressing lines in each stitching block being the same. Row addressing circuitry is disposed along an external edge of the array parallel to the rows of pixel sensors, coupled to the pixel sensors using the first group of addressing lines for performing a row addressing action and group addressing circuitry is disposed along the same edge of the array, coupled to the pixel sensors using at least some of the second group of addressing lines for performing a group addressing action. Each stitching block combines a row addressing action with a group addressing action to select only one row of one row group of one stitching block simultaneously.
