Patent ID: 11936999
Assignee: SONY SEMICONDUCTOR SOLUTIONS CORPORATION
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 6:
7. A solid-state imaging device comprising:
photoelectric conversion elements that photoelectrically convert received light into signal charge corresponding to an amount of the received light,
floating diffusions that hold the signal charge obtained by the photoelectric conversion elements,
transfer control elements that control transfer of the signal charge from the photoelectric conversion elements to the floating diffusions, and
control circuitry configured to control application of a driving voltage to the transfer control elements on the basis of convolution coefficients in a convolutional neural network (CNN), wherein
a plurality of the transfer control elements is connected in parallel to one photoelectric conversion element, and
the control circuitry is further configured to control which of the transfer control elements connected in parallel will be provided with the driving voltage on the basis of the convolution coefficients.
