Zusammenfassung: | According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, an image sensor may comprise: a pixel array including a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix form and generating pixel signals; a row driver which selectively reads a plurality of rows of the pixel array; a binning unit which sums the read pixel signals or enables the read pixel signals to pass therethrough; a column array including a plurality of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) which performs an analog-to-digital conversion on the binned pixel signals; and a mode selector which generates a signal for controlling operations of the row driver and the binning unit based on a mode signal which is received from the outside and changes an operation mode. According to the present invention, it is possible to create images with different angles using one image sensor.
본 개시의 실시예에 따른 이미지 센서는 매트릭스 형태로 배열되고 픽셀 신호를 생성하는 복수의 픽셀을 포함하는 픽셀 어레이, 상기 픽셀 어레이의 복수의 로우(row)를 선택적으로 독출하는 로우 드라이버, 상기 독출된 픽셀 신호를 합산하거나 통과시키는 비닝부, 상기 비닝된 픽셀 신호를 아날로그-디지털 변환하는 복수의 ADC(Analog-to-Digital Converter)를 포함하는 컬럼 어레이 및 외부로부터 수신되고 동작 모드를 변경하는 모드 신호에 기초하여 상기 로우 드라이버 및 상기 비닝부의 동작을 제어하는 신호를 생성하는 모드 셀렉터를 포함할 수 있다. |
