An apparatus such as an imager includes groups of sensors each of which
includes subgroups of sensors. Subgroup select circuits are coupled to
outputs from respective subgroups of sensors, and group select circuits
are coupled to outputs from subgroup select circuits associated with
respective ones of the groups. A bus is coupled to receive outputs from
the group select circuits. A controller can provide control signals to
the subgroup select circuits and the group select circuits to selectively
enable the respective subgroup select circuits and group select circuits
to pass signals from the sensors to the bus one sensor at a time.
