    Abstract: A scanning circuit has path switches connected between a plurality of data flip-flop circuits of the scanning circuit for sequentially reading an output signal in synchronism with a clock. A plurality of control signal lines select the path switches to arbitrarily skip reading of the flip-flop circuits that do not require the scanning circuit and always fix a potential of the skipped data flip-flop circuit. Only the arbitrary data is read, and in the case where unnecessary data exists, reading is skipped, to thereby increase the read rate.

    Abstract: A signal processing circuit has a sample/hold circuit for sampling an input signal comprised of a first signal and a second signal and for holding the first signal. The first signal comprises an optical signal obtained due to storage of electric charges generated due to light incident upon a photoelectric converter, and the second signal comprises a reference signal obtained due to resetting of the photoelectric converter. A subtracter receives an output signal of the sample/hold circuit and the input signal and obtains a difference between the output signal of the sample/hold circuit and the input signal. A voltage clamp circuit clamps a part or all of an output signal from the subtracter.
