摘要： An apparatus (1) includes a pixel array (PA) in which pixels (100) for outputting an analog signal are arranged in a matrix, vertical output lines (106) each connected to pixels in a same column, A/D converting means (124), which are individually connected to the vertical output lines, for converting the analog signal into a digital signal, and constant current supplying means (140) for supplying a constant current to the A/D converting means. The A/D converting means includes integrating means (125) for integrating the constant current, comparing means (126) for comparing the integrated constant current with the analog signal and outputting a comparison signal, and digital signal storing means (127) for storing a digital signal corresponding to the comparison signal. The integrating means includes an input capacitor (116) for receiving the constant current. The comparing means is connected to the constant current supplying means via the input capacitor.

摘要： An object of the present invention is to provide a comparator which has an input voltage range larger than the case where a conventional offset cancel technique is used, while reducing an offset voltage. A comparator circuit includes: a comparator having an inverting input terminal, a non-inverting input terminal and an output terminal; a first switch having one terminal connected to the inverting input terminal and having the other terminal connected to the output terminal; a first capacitor which has one end connected with the inverting input terminal; a first signal input terminal which is another end of the first capacitor; and a second signal input terminal which selectively inputs either one of a fixed voltage and a comparing signal into the non-inverting input terminal.
