PIXEL UNIT FOR AN IMAGE SENSOR, IMAGE SENSOR, METHOD FOR SENSING A LIGHT SIGNAL, METHOD OF CONTROLLING A PIXEL UNIT, AND METHOD FOR GENERATING AN IMAGE USING A PIXEL UNIT
A pixel unit for an image sensor. The pixel unit includes a photodiode for converting alight signal into a processing signal, a multiplexer unit that is designed for using the processing signal to generate at least a first multiplexer signal and a second multiplexer signal that deviates therefrom, and a storage device having at least a first storage unit for buffer storing a time-limited integral value of the first multiplexer signal and a second storage unit for buffer storing a time-limited integral value of the second multiplexer signal. The pixel unit makes possible a time-overlapped sampling of the first multiplexer signal and of the second multiplexer signal.
