IMAGING DEVICE

摘要

An imaging device includes: unit pixels arranged in two dimensionally (in a matrix shape) and each having a photoelectrical conversion unit for converting light into an electric signal; a plurality of vertical signal lines which are connected to the unit pixels in the column direction and receive an optical signal containing optical information and a reset signal containing a noise component from the unit pixels; column amplifiers which amplify the optical signals and the reset signals which have been read out by the vertical signal lines; and holding units which hold the optical signals and the reset signals which have been amplified by the column amplifiers. The imaging device further includes: a first clip drive circuit which is arranged between the vertical signal lines and the column amplifiers and clips a signal of a voltage other than a predetermined voltage; a first clip voltage generation circuit which gives a clip voltage to the first clip drive circuit; a second clip drive circuit which is arranged between the column amplifiers and the holding units and clips a signal of a voltage other than a predetermined voltage; and a second clip voltage generation circuit which gives a clip voltage to the second clip drive circuit.
