Abstract: There is provided a method for reading out a pixel array in an image sensor. The method includes determining a readout sequence based on a row offset, the row offset indicating a first set of rows and a second set of rows sharing a first output line and a second output line, reading, in a first row from the first set of rows of the pixel array, pixels corresponding to a first floating diffusion (FD) node from the first output line, and reading, in a second row from the first set of rows of the pixel array, pixels corresponding to a second floating diffusion (FD) node from the second output line at the plurality of time intervals, the first row and the second row from the first set of rows are incremented through the first set of rows based on the determined readout sequence.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of performing readout of pixel array that includes reading, when a first condition is detected, pixels of a first half and a second half of FD nodes sharing a common Vout line in monotonically increasing and decreasing row orders, respectively. When a second condition is detected, pixels of (Gr, R) rows and (B, Gb) rows connected to different Vout lines are read in opposite respective directions in a first phase and a second phase, respectively. When a third condition is detected, first and second color pixels from first and second Vout lines are read out at each readout instance. When a fourth condition is detected, pixels are read out from even rows of a first half of rows, odd rows of a second half of rows, odd rows of the first half of rows, and even rows of the second half of rows.

Abstract: A method for performing readout of a pixel array associated with an image sensor may include for a first exposure row and one or more additional exposure rows of the pixel array, detecting, using processing circuitry, completion of exposure operations of the first exposure row and the one or more additional exposure rows, and reading, using the processing circuitry, pixel values from sets of columns associated with sets of analog to digital converters (ADCs) corresponding to the first exposure row and the one or more additional exposure rows.
