  • Patent number: 11523071
    Abstract: Techniques are described for disparity-preserving pixel binning during consistently binned parallel readout of an imaging sensor array having both phase detection autofocus (PDAF) pixels and imaging pixels. Each group of PDAF pixels and each group of imaging pixels is coupled with pixel actuators according to an particular arrangement, so that consistently applied control of the pixel actuators results in desired binning of both the PDAF pixels and the imaging pixels. According to some implementations, though such control of the pixel actuators is consistently applied across the pixels of the array, parallel readout of the sensor array yields diagonally binned imaging pixels, but vertically binned PDAF pixels to preserve horizontal PDAF disparity information. Additionally or alternatively, disparity-inducing structures are configured to position same-disparity PDAF pixels so that consistently applied control of the pixel actuators preserves disparity information during binning.

  • Patent number: 11483510
    Abstract: Techniques are described for implementing read-out architectures to support high-speed serialized read-out of a large number of digital bit values, such as for high-resolution pixel conversions in CMOS image sensor applications. For example, outputs from a large number of digital data sources (e.g., counters) are coupled with transmission gates of the read-out architecture, and the transmission gates are sequentially enabled, thereby shifting in bit data from the data sources one at a time. The transmission gates are grouped into gate groups. For each gate group, embodiments seek balance total path delay across the gate groups by controlling clock and data path delays to be inversely related, and ensuring that total path delays for all gate groups are within a single clock period. Some embodiments include a partitioned bus for further gate group-level control over the path delay and data bus capacitance.
