  • Patent number: 11310454
    Abstract: Provided are a pixel circuit and an associated image sensor, including an inverting input circuit, an active load and a signal reading circuit. Each pixel circuit includes a light sensing component, a transmission switch, a reset switch and a unity gain buffer. The transmission switch is series-connected between the light sensing component and the transmission switch. The unity gain buffer is connected to a node of connection of the transmission switch and the reset switch. The signal read circuit reads a sensing signal of the light sensing component through the unity gain buffer. An output signal of the unity gain buffer varies with an input signal of the unity gain buffer, attaining a linear relationship between the output signal and the input signal. Therefore, the photoelectric conversion curve of each pixel circuit is linear.
