Pixels with multiple modes of operation and associated systems, devices, and methods

Abstract

Pixels with multiple modes of operation (and associated systems, devices, and methods) are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a pixel arrangement includes a pixel comprising: a first photosensor; a second photoelectric sensor; a floating diffusion region; a first event vision sensor (EVS) connection coupling the pixel to the first EVS readout circuitry and configured to receive a first charge from the first photosensor; and a second EVS connection coupling the pixel to the second EVS readout circuitry and configured to receive a second charge from the second photosensor. The pixel further includes a first transfer transistor selectively coupling the first photosensor to the floating diffusion region; a second transfer transistor selectively coupling the first photosensor to the first EVS connection; and a third transfer transistor selectively coupling the second photosensor to the floating diffusion region. In some embodiments, the pixel further includes a fourth transfer transistor that selectively couples the second photosensor to the second EVS connection.
