  • Latched row logic for a rolling exposure snap
    Patent number: 6847398
    Abstract: A rolling electronic snap enables each row to integrate for a defined period of time. A control system for the rolling electronic snap includes a latched row logic which latches into reset. The device can be removed from reset in order to integrate. After integrating, the row is selected to receive the information therefrom and then the reset is again maintained. By latching the row in and out of reset, its state can be maintained for longer periods of time.
