  • Drive apparatus, drive method, and electronic device
    Patent number: 9571773
    Abstract: Provided is a drive apparatus including an address decoder circuit provided in each pixel row of a pixel array inside a solid state image sensor, the address decoder circuit being configured to generate at least a control signal to cause, based on a V address signal to identify the pixel row in the pixel array, pixels of the pixel row corresponding to the V address signal to perform a read operation that reads accumulated charges from the relevant pixels or an electronic shutter operation that sweeps away the accumulated charges from the relevant pixels. The V address signals of at least two mutually different systems are supplied to the address decoder circuit, and at least the two mutually different address decoder circuits generate the control signal for at least the two mutually different pixel rows within one horizontal scanning period.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 27, 2014
    Date of Patent: February 14, 2017
    Assignee: Sony Corporation
    Inventors: Naoki Kawazu, Atsushi Suzuki, Yosuke Isoo
