Abstract: In a CMOS image sensor, a plurality of bias circuits are dispersedly arranged in an arrangement region of column circuits corresponding to each column of a pixel array. Each bias circuit generates a bias voltage on the basis of a reference current which has been input and supplies the generated bias voltage to the corresponding column circuit 10 which is arranged in the vicinity. Thereby, luminance unevenness of a picked-up image caused by an IR drop of a ground wire for the column circuits is reduced.

Abstract: Provided is a solid-state imaging device capable of increasing the speed of an A/D converter. The solid-state imaging device includes a successive approximation A/D converter that performs A/D conversion on an analog pixel signal. The successive approximation A/D converter includes a D/A converter, a comparator, and a successive approximation register. The D/A converter converts a digital reference signal to an analog reference signal. The successive approximation register operates based on the result of comparison by the comparator to generate the digital reference signal in such a manner that the analog reference signal approximates the analog pixel signal. The D/A converter includes a split capacitor, first capacitors, second capacitors, a switch array, a third capacitor, and a multiplexer. The first capacitors each have a first electrode coupled to the output node. The second capacitors are coupled to a second electrode of the split capacitor. The switch array is coupled to a second electrode of each of the first and second capacitors and is adapted to generate the analog reference signal at the output node by selectively applying a first reference voltage. The third capacitor is coupled to the second electrode of the split capacitor. The multiplexer is coupled to a second electrode of the third capacitor and is adapted to generate the analog reference signal at the output node by selectively applying a second reference voltage.

Abstract: A successive approximation register A/D converter that obtains an output of N bits interrupts operation at a timing when the operation of the successive approximation register A/D converter is affected on the basis of circuit timing in an integrated circuit. The A/D converter performs a comparison between a sampling signal and a comparison reference voltage by a sampling period in which an analog signal is sampled, a comparison period of N states in which the sampled signal is sequentially compared with a comparison voltage for each bit, and a reserve period of M states following the comparison period. When an operation is temporarily interrupted, the A/D converter performs a comparison operation of a bit, whereas the comparison is not performed in the reserve period.
