In this article, the authors propose a new sensor architecture for snapshot video. This sensor has the distinctive feature of memorizing of a sequence of images. The realization of the sensor permits the authors to study the transfer operation in a full custom implementation. For this reason they have developed at GERE Laboratory in Le Creusot, in collaboration with LIRMM Laboratory in Montpellier, the experimental transfer circuits. First, they present in this article the internal architecture of the sensor circuit. Next, they describe the elementary cell which is composed of a photosensitive element and memory zones. Thirdly, they describe the transfer circuit and they discuss in detail the study done on it. Finally, they conclude on the feasibility of the specific sensor circuit.
