SOLID-STATE IMAGING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A solid-state imaging device, comprising:
- a substrate;
a sensor cell array disposed on the substrate, the sensor cell array having a plurality of sensor cells arranged in a matrix;
a plurality of signal lines for transferring an image signal output from each of the sensor cells;
a plurality of amplifiers connected to at least one of the signal lines, each of the amplifiers including a first capacitance having a first end connected to one of the signal lines, an inversion amplifier having an input end connected to a second end of the first capacitance, a second capacitance connected between the input end and an output end of the inversion amplifier, a switch connected between the input and output ends of the inversion amplifier to reset the second capacitance and a third capacitance having a first end connected to a control line and a second end connected to the input end of the inversion amplifier; and
a control voltage supply circuit for supplying one of first and second voltages to the control line.
