    摘要: A photoelectric conversion apparatus included pixel circuits, signal lines, current sources, a switching circuit configured to switch a connection state among the plurality of signal lines and the plurality of current sources, and a control circuit configured to control the connection state of the switching circuit. The switching circuit can implement a first connection state in which a first signal line and a second signal line are insulated from each other, a first current source is electrically connected to the first signal line, and a second current source is electrically connected to the second signal line, and a second connection state in which at least the first current source is electrically connected to at least the second signal line. The control circuit selects the first and second connection states in first and second operation modes, respectively.

    摘要: The present technology relates to an imaging element that can reduce noise. The imaging element includes: a photoelectric conversion element; a first amplification element that amplifies a signal from the photoelectric conversion element; a second amplification element that amplifies an output from the first amplification element; an offset element provided between the first amplification element and the second amplification element; a first reset element that resets the first amplification element; and a second reset element that resets the second amplification element. The offset element is a capacitor. A charge is accumulated in the offset element via a feedback loop of an output from the second amplification element, and an offset bias is generated. The present technology can be applied to an imaging element.
