An imager pixel and imaging device and system including an imager pixel for discharging a floating diffusion region are described. The imager pixel includes a photoconversion regions floating diffusion region, and a reset diode. A reset diode is coupled to the floating diffusion region and, when activated, discharges accumulated and collected charge from the photoconversion and the floating diffusion regions. Following successive accumulation, transfer and collection processes, the reset diode again discharges residual accumulated and collected charge from the photoconversion and the floating diffusion regions.
