Abstract:
A controlling section, by bringing readout switches of pixels of a certain row out of the M rows into a connected state, causes charges generated in the row to be input to integration circuits, causes first holding circuits to hold voltage values output from the integration circuits, and then brings transfer switches into a connected state to transfer the voltage values to the second holding circuits, and thereafter performs in parallel an operation for causing the voltage values to be sequentially output from the second holding circuits and an operation for, by bringing readout switches of pixels of another row into a connected state, causing charges generated in the row to be input to the integration circuits. Accordingly, a solid-state imaging device and a driving method thereof capable of suppressing variations in output characteristics, while solving the problem due to a delay effect are realized.
