An image sensor includes a storage block for storing a plurality of pixel
data which is transmitted from a pixel array block; a switching block for
delivering a first pixel data from the storage block in response to a
first control signal; a defect pixel repairing block which is controlled
by the first to fifth control signals PASS, DPCA, MS, ISCA and Line End
in order to receive surrounding pixel data having the first pixel data
from the storage block and the first pixel data from the switching block
and output a revised pixel data by using the first pixel data or the
surrounding pixel data; and a image signal handling block for receiving
the first pixel data outputted from the switching block or the revised
pixel data outputted from the defect pixel repairing block and operating
an image process in order to improvement of the image sensor.
