In this article, we 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 has permitted us to study the transfer operation in a full custom implementation. For this reason we have developed, at GERE laboratory in Le Creusot, in collaboration with LIRMM laboratory in Montpellier, the experimental transfer circuits. Firstly, we present in this article the internal architecture of the sensor circuit. Next, we describe the elementary cell which is composed of a photosensitive element and memory zones. Thirdly, we describe the transfer circuit and we discuss in details the study done on it. Finally, we conclude on the feasibility of the specific sensor circuit.
