Patent attributes
In one example, a method comprises: transmitting a first signal to transfer a first portion of a first charge from a first photodiode to a first charge sensing unit to obtain a first measurement result and transmitting a second signal to transfer a second portion of the first charge from the first photodiode to a second charge sensing unit to obtain a second measurement result. The timing of transmission of the first signal and the second signal are based on the indirect time-of-flight measurement operation. The method further comprises performing the indirect time-of-flight measurement operation based on the first measurement result and the second measurement result; transmitting a third signal to transfer a second charge from a second photodiode to the second charge sensing unit via the first photodiode to obtain a third measurement result; and performing a D sensing operation based on the third measurement result.
