1. An image pick-up apparatus comprising:
- an area sensor in which detecting elements are two-dimensionally arranged on a substrate;
a read device for reading a signal from the detecting elements;
a power supply circuit, for supplying a reference voltage to the read device, which comprises a regulator for regulating the reference voltage; and
a low-pass filter arranged between the regulator and the read device, wherein the reference voltage is supplied through the low-pass filter from the power supply circuit,wherein the read device comprises a sample-hold circuit, andwherein a cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter is lower than a sampling frequency of the sample-hold circuit.

Abstract
An image pick-up apparatus comprising an area sensor in which detecting elements are two-dimensionally arranged on a substrate, and a reference supply circuit, for supplying a reference voltage to the detecting elements, which comprises a regulator for regulating the reference voltage. A low-pass filter is arranged between the regulator and the detecting elements. The reference voltage is supplied through the low-pass filter from the reference supply circuit.

13. An image pick-up apparatus comprising:
-
an area sensor in which detecting elements are two-dimensionally arranged on a substrate; a read device for reading a signal from the detecting elements; a power supply circuit, for supplying a sensor bias voltage to the detecting elements of the area sensor and for supplying a reference voltage to the read device, which comprises a first regulator for regulating the sensor bias voltage and a second regulator for regulating the reference voltage; a first low-pass filter arranged between the first regulator and the detecting elements, wherein the sensor bias voltage is supplied through the first low-pass filter from the power supply circuit; and a second low-pass filter arranged between the second regulator and the read device, wherein the reference voltage is supplied through the second low-pass filter from the power supply circuit, wherein the read device comprises a sample-hold circuit, and wherein a cutoff frequency of the second low-pass filter is lower than a sampling frequency of the sample-hold circuit. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
