摘要： A pipeline A/D converter of the present invention includes a plurality of stages each operating for A/D conversion and a digital computing portion that outputs an A/D converted signal based on a digital signal output from each of the stages. In each of the stages, an analog signal from the preceding stage is sampled by passive elements C1 and C2 in a first period, and one of the passive elements is used as a feedback element in a second period to perform adding/subtracting with respect to the signal sampled by the other passive element. By the control from the digital computing portion, a test signal Tink is used instead of an analog output signal Vo(k−1), and a unique conversion-error value is detected and corrected based on the digital signal obtained by the operation of each of the stages. It is possible to obtain a high-resolution A/D convert that can suppress a conversion error caused by the relative error of capacitors used for analog signal processing without decreasing the speed of A/D conversion.

A current-driven black signal component detect/remove circuit then removes a black signal component from the current signal output from the CCD solid-state image pick-up device, and an image signal component alone is output as a current image signal. A current-voltage conversion circuit converts the current image signal into a voltage image signal.
