Abstract
An image sensor according to some example embodiments of the present inventive concepts may operate in a global shutter mode, and each pixel circuit may support a high conversion gain (HCG) mode and a low conversion gain (LCG) mode so as to have high dynamic range (HDR). Accordingly, the image sensor according to some example embodiments of the present inventive concepts may have HDR and may generate a high-quality image.
