Abstract

　本発明は、AD変換の分解能を変更する際に、変更が必要なパルスのみの変更を、より簡単な構成で行うことができるようにする固体撮像装置、駆動制御方法、および撮像装置に関する。 　AD変換の分解能のモードが９ビットモードである場合には、デコーダ１０２は、Hカウンタ１０４のみを動作させる。AD変換の分解能のモードが１０ビットモードまたは１２ビットモードである場合には、デコーダ１０２は、Hカウンタ１０４のカウント値がレジスタ１０１に記憶されている開始カウント値となったときに、Hカウンタ１０４のカウント動作を停止させるとともに、アイドルカウンタ１０６のカウントを開始させ、アイドルカウンタ１０６のカウント値がレジスタ１０１に記憶されたカウント数となったときにHカウンタ１０４のカウントを再開させる。本発明は、例えば、カラムAD変換方式を採用したイメージセンサに適用できる。
