Abstract:
A solid-state imaging apparatus includes a pixel outputting a pixel signal; and an amplifier for amplifying the pixel signal. The amplifier includes an input capacitor connected between an input terminal of the operational amplifier and the pixel, a feedback capacitor connected between the input and output terminals of the amplifier, an initializing switch connected between the input terminal and the output terminal of the amplifier, a first capacitor connected in parallel to the feedback capacitor, a second capacitor connected in parallel to the feedback capacitor, a first switch connected between an one terminal of the feedback capacitor and an one terminal of the first capacitor, and a second switch connected between the one terminal of the first capacitor and an one terminal of the second capacitor. One terminal of the first or second capacitor is connected to the one terminal of the second capacitor through the first and second switches.
