Photoelectric conversion apparatus and image pickup system for detecting a value of signals output from a plurality of pixels
Abstract:
A photoelectric conversion apparatus is configured to include a plurality of pixels, a first output unit that detects a maximum value of signals output from the plurality of pixels, a second output unit that detects a minimum value of signals output from the plurality of pixels, and a signal output line via which to output signals of the first output unit and the second output unit such that when the maximum value is detected, the signal output line is charged by a source current flowing through the first output unit, while when the minimum value is detected, the signal output line is discharged by a sink current flowing through the second output unit.
