    Abstract: The present technique relates to an image pickup element and an electronic apparatus which enable a higher-quality image to be obtained.An image pickup element includes an input sense portion configured to produce a noise correction signal for correcting a noise generated in a predetermined power source. The input sense portion includes a first transistor and a second transistor configuring a current mirror circuit, a switch provided between a gate of the first transistor and a gate of the second transistor, and a capacitive element one electrode of which is connected between the switch and the gate of the second transistor on an output side of the current mirror circuit, and the other electrode of which is connected to the predetermined power source.

    Abstract: To reduce fluctuations in image signals when the voltage of a negative power supply supplied to pixels changes. A pixel operates based on a first ground potential applied to a first ground line and outputs an analog image signal according to emitted light. An analog-digital converter operates based on a second ground potential applied to a second ground line, the second ground potential higher than the first ground potential, and converts the analog image signal into a digital image signal based on a reference voltage as a standard for the conversion. A reference voltage generation unit operates based on the second ground potential and generates the reference voltage. A reference voltage correction unit corrects the reference voltage generated according to a change in the first ground potential and supplies the reference voltage to the analog-digital converter.
