In one embodiment, a transfer gate (TX) driver circuit of an image sensor includes a TX driver configured to provide a TX driver voltage to a plurality of pixels of an image sensor. A power supply (NVDD) is operationally coupled to the TX driver. A first switch (SW1) operationally coupling an outside capacitance (Cext) and the TX driver. A second switch (SW2) operationally coupling the Cext and the NVDD. A third switch (SW3) operationally coupling the NVDD and the TX driver. A falling edge of the TX driver voltage is configured to control a start of data transfer from individual pixels of the plurality of pixels. The SW1 and the SW2 are configured in an open position before the falling edge of the TX driver voltage. The SW3 is configured in a closed position before the falling edge."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Switching techniques for fast voltage settling in image sensors","description":"Switching techniques for fast voltage settling in image sensors are described.
