Claim 3:
4. The solid-state imaging device of claim 1,
wherein, when the capture signal is active, each of the asynchronous counter modules captures the digital pixel signal following any one of four capturing patterns:
PTN 1 represented as Carry[n−1]=0/ADC[n]=0;
PTN 2 represented as Carry[n−1]=0/ADC[n]=1;
PTN 3 represented as Carry[n−1]=1/ADC[n]=0; and
PTN 4 represented as Carry[n−1]=1/ADC[n]=1,
with Carry[n−1] representing a carry signal from a lower-order one of the asynchronous counter modules, ADC[n] representing the digital pixel signal produced by the AD converting part, and “1” and “0” respectively representing digital HIGH and digital LOW.
