The present technique relates to a solid-state imaging element, an imaging device, and an electronic instrument in which it is possible to make a reference voltage applied to a vertical transfer line substantially the same as a reset voltage of a floating diffusion unit. A reference voltage generation circuit that generates a reference voltage is constituted by the same circuit as a reset transistor, an amplification transistor, and a selection transistor in a pixel circuit, and, immediately before transferring an optical signal and a reset signal, application is made to a vertical transfer line. Thus, the same reference voltage as immediately after applying the reset signal to a floating diffusion is applied to the vertical transfer line. This technique is applicable to CMOS image sensors. |
