readout architecture also eliminates column smearing often seen in traditional CCD image
sensors under extremely bright exposure conditions.
The time interval required for all pixels in the CMOS imager to clock out of the senson is
called a frame. To generate a color image, a set of color filters (red, green, and blue)
arranged in a Bayer pattern are placed over the pixels. The starting color is green. The
following illustrations show the CMOS image sensor architecture and spectral response of
the C4080 and C2880 cameras.
