<p>An image sensor includes a color filter array, sense amplifiers, multiplexing circuitry, and an output. The color filter array acquires image data using an array of M columns and N rows of pixels. The sense amplifiers are coupled to the color filter array for reading out image data from the color filter array. The multiplexing circuitry couples the sense amplifiers to the color filter array, wherein each sense amplifier is time shared across multiple columns and multiple rows. The output is coupled to receive the image data from the sense amplifiers and output the image data off -chip insequential color groups, where each color group includes image data associaled with a plurality of same cplor pixels within the same row, so that in the output signal the transitions between adjacent image values are less abrupt and the transfened output signal therefore requiresless bandwidth, thereby improving the signal quality received at a remote unit.</p> |
