Zusammenfassung:Various embodiments of the present technology provide a method and apparatus for signal distribution in an image sensor. In various embodiments, the apparatus provides a balanced signal distribution circuit having a plurality of driver circuits, wherein each driver circuit is connected to a logic circuit, distributed either directly below the pixel array or interspersed within the pixel array. A clock distribution network is connected to the logic circuit to provide all the logic circuits with a clock signal substantially simultaneously, which, in turn, controls all of the driver circuits substantially simultaneously and all pixels in the pixel array receive a control signal substantially simultaneously.
