Driver and driving method for solid-state imaging device

摘要

According to one embodiment the amount of noise in the OB interval of a video signal when an electron-multiplying solid-state imaging device is driven with each of predetermined multiplication gains has been measured and stored in advance. The amount of noise in the OB interval of a video signal when the solid-state imaging device is driven with a drive voltage of a predetermined magnitude is measured. The magnitude of the drive voltage is corrected on the basis of the measured amount of noise and the stored amount of noise corresponding to one of the predetermined multiplication gains.
