Analog-to-digital converter and solid-state imaging apparatus
Abstract:
An analog-to-digital (AD) converter has a latch section having latch units, a capacitor, and a latch control signal line connected to the latch units. A third voltage less than a first voltage and greater than a second voltage is applied as a power supply voltage to the latch units. When the capacitor is electrically connected to the latch control signal line, a potential of the latch control signal line becomes greater than or equal to the third voltage. Only when the electrical connection between the capacitor and the latch control signal line is disconnected, the first voltage is applied to the capacitor and the second voltage is applied to the latch control signal line. When the potential of the latch control signal line becomes greater than or equal to the third voltage, the latch units latch clock signals.
