    Abstract: An integrating Analog-to-digital converter has a global counter that outputs a counter code signal including a multiphase signal. It also has a column circuit including: a ramp wave generation circuit outputting a ramp wave voltage; a comparator comparing the ramp wave voltage with a pixel voltage; and a latch circuit latching the counter code signal at output inversion timing of the comparator. An output value of the latch circuit is used as a digital conversion output value per the column circuit. The counter has a phase division circuit outputting, as an LSB of the digital conversion output value of the integrating analog-to-digital converter, a phase division signal to the latch circuit, the phase division signal dividing a phase of the counter code signal. The phase division circuit is arranged to a plurality of column circuits, and the LSB is shared by a plurality of phase division circuits.

    Abstract: A solid-state image sensor includes a buffer circuit, and an AD conversion circuit. The buffer circuit is connected to a first pixel and a second pixel of a plurality of pixels. The AD conversion circuit converts a voltage signal from the buffer circuit into a digital signal. The buffer circuit includes a voltage holding circuit connected to the first pixel, a voltage holding circuit connected to the second pixel, and a switch circuit. The switch circuit selectively switches the voltage holding circuit which outputs a voltage signal to the AD conversion circuit between the voltage holding circuits. The buffer circuit carries out an operation of holding a voltage signal of the first pixel in the voltage holding circuit and an operation of holding a voltage signal of the second pixel in the voltage holding circuit in parallel with each other.
