Abstract

The present invention relates to a solid-state imaging device, an AD converter, and electronic equipment that can improve crosstalk characteristics. The AD converter has: a comparator for comparing a pixel signal and a reference signal; a pixel signal side capacitor connected between a pixel signal signal line for transmitting the pixel signal and one input terminal of the comparator; and a reference signal signal line for transmitting the reference signal. line to the reference signal side capacitor between the other input terminal of the comparator. The pixel signal side capacitor and the reference signal side capacitor are formed in such a manner that a second voltage generated between the comparator side node of the reference signal side capacitor and the pixel signal line side node of the pixel signal side capacitor connected to other adjacent AD converters is formed. A capacitor and a second capacitor generated between the comparator side node of the pixel signal side capacitor and the pixel signal line side node of the pixel signal side capacitor connected to adjacent other AD converters are substantially the same. The present invention is applicable to, for example, CMOS image sensors.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a solid-state imaging device, an AD converter, and electronic equipment, and particularly to a solid-state imaging device, an AD converter, and electronic equipment for improving crosstalk characteristics. Background technique [0002] In related art electronic devices having imaging functions such as digital still cameras and digital video cameras, solid-state imaging devices such as charge coupled device (CCD) image sensors and complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensors are used. A plurality of transistors and a photodiode (PD) for photoelectric conversion are combined in a pixel of a solid-state imaging device, and an image is constructed based on pixel signals output from a plurality of pixels arranged planarly. Furthermore, pixel signals output from the pixels are AD-converted by a plurality of AD (Analog to Digital) converters provided for each column of pixels, and the pixel signals are output. ...
