摘要: An unnecessary circuit operation in a clock enabler circuit accompanying toggling of a clock signal is suppressed. A state holding unit performs a holding operation of a state as to whether or not to output an output clock signal according to an internal clock signal. A clock signal output unit controls output of the output clock signal according to the state held in the state holding unit. A control unit supplies, to the state holding unit, the internal clock signal and a value of the state that are necessary for the holding operation in the state holding unit on a basis of a clock signal and a clock enable signal from an outside.

摘要: Solid-state imaging elements are disclosed. In one example, an upstream circuit block generates a predetermined reset level and a plurality of signal levels each corresponding to an exposure amount, and causes capacitive elements, different from each other, to hold them. A selection circuit sequentially performs control to connect the capacitive element in which the reset level is held to a predetermined downstream node, control to disconnect capacitive elements from the downstream node, and control to connect the capacitive element in which any of the plurality of signal levels is held to the downstream node. A downstream reset transistor initializes a level of the downstream node when the capacitive elements are disconnected from the downstream node. A downstream circuit sequentially reads the reset level and the plurality of signal levels via the downstream node.
