Solid-state imaging device for reducing noise, and imaging device for reducing noise having a multi-stage sample and hold circuit stabilizing voltage supplied to load transistors
Abstract:
A solid-state imaging device according to the present invention includes: a pixel block in which pixels are arranged in a matrix; vertical common signal lines each provided for a corresponding one of columns of the plurality of pixels, and reads signals of pixels in the corresponding column; and a column constant current source which supplies a current to the vertical common signal lines, wherein the column constant current source includes: load transistors each having a source terminal and a drain terminal one of which is connected to one of the vertical common signal lines and the other of which is grounded; a constant voltage supply unit which supplies a voltage to gate terminals of the load transistors; and a voltage holding circuit in which sample and hold circuits are connected in multiple stages, and which stabilizes the voltage which is supplied to the gate terminals of the load transistors.
