Pre-flash time adjusting circuit and image sensor using the same

摘要

The present disclosure illustrates a pre-flash time adjusting circuit. The pre-flash time adjusting circuit comprises a first pre-flash time adjusting unit coupled to an image sensing array. The image sensing array comprises a plurality of pixel units. The first pre-flash time adjusting unit comprises a switching module and a storage capacitor. When the image sensing array senses a light beam, the switching module selectively connects a first switch and the storage capacitor, such that the storage capacitor starts to charge the first pixel units of the first pixel group, until base-emitter voltages of a plurality of bipolar junction transistors disposed in the first pixel units reaches a stable state.
