Figure 2. Single pixel design.

Schematic of a single pixel on the A64P CMOS sensor. The sensor contains a four channel standard active-pixel sensor (APS) architecture with a global shutter. During exposure the reset switch is open and the shutter on one channel is closed. This shutter is then opened until the voltage has been read off the storage capacitor. The four channels can be read out independently. This chip design allows read-out and exposure to occur on different channels simultaneously.
