摘要： An image sensor comprising: a generator that generates a plurality of reference signals having different slopes of potential change; a selector that selects one of the reference signals; and an analog/digital converter that converts an analog signal output from a pixel unit by first or second driving using the selected reference signal into a digital signal. In the first driving, a noise signal is converted into a plurality of first digital signals using the reference signals and a photoelectric conversion signal is converted into a second digital signal using one of the reference signals. In the second driving, the noise signal is converted into the first digital signal using a predetermined one of the reference signals and the photoelectric conversion signal is converted into the second digital signal using one of the reference signals. The first driving is performed intermittently.

摘要： A pixel portion includes a plurality of first pixel rows and a plurality of second pixel rows each being arranged so as to be adjacent to the first pixel row. Among the first pixel row and the second pixel row arranged so as to be adjacent to each other, during at least a part of a period from an end of the electric charge accumulation period in the second pixel row until an end of an output period in which signals from pixels in the first pixel row are output, electric charges accumulated in photoelectric conversion units of pixels in the second pixel row are reset.
