    摘要: A plurality of comparison circuits each including a first terminal for inputting a first analog signal and a second analog signal and a second terminal connected to a wiring for transmission of a ramp signal A first operation changes an electric potential of the wiring from a predetermined electric potential to a first electric potential to cause at least one of the plurality of comparison circuits to retain a first offset. A second operation, after the first operation, converts the first analog signal into a digital signal. A third operation, after the second operation, changes the electric potential of the wiring to an electric potential included in a range of from the predetermined electric potential to the first electric potential. A fourth operation, after the third operation, converts the second analog signal into a digital signal.
