Abstract:
An imaging device includes: a pixel that outputs a pixel signal corresponding to incident light; a comparator that compares the pixel signal with a reference signal and generates an output signal that indicates a comparison result; a counter that generates a digital signal corresponding to the pixel signal by counting the number of periods until the output signal is inverted, the counter including first to fourth counter parts, each of which corresponds to one of bits included in the digital signal; a memory that stores the digital signal, the memory including first to fourth memory parts corresponding to the first to fourth counter parts; and first and second lines. The first and third counter parts are respectively connected to the first and third memory parts through the first line. The second and fourth counter parts are respectively connected to the second and fourth memory parts through the second line.
