Abstract
The invention relates to a pixel combination circuit in a reading circuit and a pixel combination implementation method of the pixel combination circuit. Control is achieved by setting a third switch, an eighth switch and a ninth switch, when the three switches are on, the charges of a first capacitor and a second capacitor, a third capacitor and a fourth capacitor, and a fifth capacitor and a sixth capacitor are averaged, that is to say two lines of input/output signals are averaged, signal average values are output by setting an output control switch, and pixel combination purpose is achieved. When input pixel combination technology is used to average the charges of the sampling capacitors, sampling capacitance is doubled, so that the pixel combination circuit tends to use output pixel combination which does not introduce extra capacitance; due to the fact that output sampling capacitance is large, influence of small capacitor mismatch on output after averaging can be neglected, and the combination does not influence final output precision.
