Abstract:
An imaging apparatus capable of reducing deterioration of AD conversion accuracy is provided, wherein, when performing the AD conversion on a pixel signal corresponding to a reset level, a latch control unit causes a latch circuit of a latch unit to enter an enabled state (third timing) at a first timing according to a comparison start in a comparing unit, and then causes the latch circuit of the latch unit to execute latching at a fourth timing at which a predetermined time has lapsed from a second timing according to a comparison end in the comparing unit. Further, when performing the AD conversion on the pixel signal corresponding to the signal level, the latch control unit causes the latch circuit of the latch unit to enter the enabled state at the second timing according to the comparison end in the comparing unit.
