    Abstract: When a signal output by a solid-state image sensing device is clamped to a predetermined reference potential, a high voltage generated in a transfer suspension period after the clamping as generally supplied to an A/D converter is generated. A sample/hold output Va is clamped to a clamp level Vref over a period of time between a halfway point of time of a signal of a picture element preceding ahead by one line and the end of an inhibit period of transfer clocks of a signal output by an empty transmission unit via a first clamp pulse and a sample/hold output for the second picture element, or a subsequent one of an OPB unit is clamped to the clamp level via a second clamp pulse to prevent a signal output from exceeding a reference voltage from being supplied to an A/D converter at a later stage.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a solid-state image pickup device comprising a sensor array and a plurality of transfer registers for transferring signal charges from the sensors of the sensor array, wherein an accumulation gate is provided between the sensor array and the transfer registers for storing the signal charges from all the image sensors at a same time and subsequently allocating the signal charges to transfer registers. As a result, it is possible to provide a device capable of producing a higher-quality signal output by eliminating sensor to sensor variations in sensitivity and deviations in signal-charge fetching between sensors.
