    摘要: To reduce the number of ADCs in a solid-state image sensor that converts an analog pixel signal into a digital signal. An effective pixel generates an analog signal according to an amount of received light as an effective pixel signal using a power supply from a power supply line. A correction signal generation unit generates an analog signal including a noise component generated in the power supply line as a correction signal. A selection unit sequentially selects and outputs the effective pixel signal and the correction signal. An analog-digital converter performs processing of converting the output effective pixel signal into a digital signal and outputting the digital signal as effective pixel data and processing of converting the output correction signal into a digital signal and outputting the digital signal into correction data. A signal processing unit corrects the effective pixel data on the basis of the correction data.

    摘要: An image sensor includes a pixel array including multiple pixels. A lens is provided on an optical path of incident light to the image sensor. An actuator includes a coil, and supports positioning of the lens according to a driving signal applied to the coil. A position detection coil is arranged such that it magnetically couples with the coil of the actuator. An actuator driver supplies a pulse-shaped driving signal to the coil of the actuator driver. A position detection circuit generates a position detection signal that indicates the position of the lens based on an induced electromotive force that occurs in the position detection coil according to the driving signal, and feeds back the position detection signal to the actuator driver.
