Abstract:
A solid-state imaging apparatus, wherein an analog to digital conversion unit converts an analog signal from the pixel, a first memory holds the digital signal from the analog to digital conversion unit, and thereafter, a second memory holds the digital signal held by the first memory. The analog to digital conversion unit converts an analog signal from the pixel based on a photoelectric conversion of the pixel, and the first memory holds the digital signal from the analog to digital conversion unit. The first memory includes a first latch circuit holding a digital signal from the analog to digital conversion unit and a second latch circuit holding a signal held by the first latch circuit. The second memory includes a third latch circuit holding a signal held in the first latch circuit and a fourth latch circuit holding a signal held in the third latch circuit.
