As paths for a current flowing through a conductor, a first current path through which a current flows from a first conductive portion to a second conductive portion, and a second current path through which a current flows from a third conductive portion to the second conductive portion are provided. Each of the first conductive portion, the second conductive portion, and the third conductive portion has a plate shape, a point P1 is located on a plate surface of the first conductive portion, and a point P2 is located on a plate surface of the second conductive portion. A current detecting circuit detects a value related to a potential difference between the points P1 and P2, and outputs a voltage value corresponding to a values of a current flowing through each of the first current path and the second current path.

When a level of a signal output from a pixel is higher than a comparison level, the signal output from the pixel is converted into a digital signal during a first period by using a first reference signal. If the level of the signal output from the pixel is lower than the comparison level, the signal output from the pixel is converted into a digital signal during a second period that is longer than the first period by using a second reference signal.

Apparatus and associated methods are disclosed for gain programming or selection with parasitic element compensation. In one exemplary embodiment, an apparatus includes a first circuit that has a first programmable gain, and includes a first set of components having parasitic elements. The apparatus also includes a second circuit that has a second programmable gain, and includes a second set of components having parasitic elements. The apparatus has a gain that is a product of the first and second programmable gains. A gain error because of the parasitic elements of the first and second sets of components is canceled by setting the first programmable gain as a reciprocal of the second programmable gain.

In described examples, an analog to digital converter (ADC) includes a main ADC and a reference ADC. The main ADC generates a zone information signal and a digital output in response to an input signal. The reference ADC receives a plurality of reference voltages from the main ADC. The plurality of reference voltages includes a first reference voltage and a second reference voltage. The reference ADC generates a reference output in response to the input signal, the first reference voltage and the second reference voltage. A subtractor generates an error signal in response to the digital output and the reference output. A logic block generates one of a first offset correction signal, a second offset correction signal and a gain mismatch signal in response to the zone information signal, the error signal and the reference output.

An analog-digital conversion system includes an analog-digital converter; and a preamplifier circuit which is provided in the previous stage of the analog-digital converter and differentially amplifies an input analog signal. In the preamplifier circuit, an offset voltage and/or a noise occurs and/or is mixed. The preamplifier circuit outputs two types of analog amplified differential signals where a phase is inverted only with respect to the offset voltage and/or the noise. The analog-digital converter has an averaging circuit which averages the two types of analog amplified differential signals for each clock cycle of sampling preceding an analog-digital conversion and outputs a digital signal based on the differential signal averaged by the averaging circuit.

A digital-correction-type A/D converter which is a charge sharing type and performing successive approximation is realized in a small area. The A/D converter is configured with an A/D conversion unit which is a charge sharing type and performing successive approximation, a digital correction unit which receives a digital output of the A/D conversion unit and performs digital correction to the digital output, and a holding unit which holds a test signal. A test signal of a common value from the holding unit is inputted into the A/D conversion unit in the first period and the second period. The A/D conversion correction coefficient for the digital correction unit is calculated on the basis of the digital correction result of the digital correction unit in the first period, and the digital correction result of the digital correction unit in the second period.
