Patent ID: 7692702

Claim:
A solid-state imaging device, comprising: a substrate; a sensor cell array disposed on the substrate, the sensor cell array having a plurality of sensor cells arranged in a matrix; a plurality of signal lines that transfer an image signal output from each of the sensor cells; a plurality of amplifiers connected to each of the signal lines, respectively, each of the amplifiers including a first capacitance having a first end connected to a respective one of the signal lines, an inversion amplifier having an input end connected to a second end of the first capacitance, a second capacitance connected between the input end and an output end of the inversion amplifier, a switch connected between the input and output ends of the inversion amplifier to reset the second capacitance and a third capacitance having a first end connected to a control line and a second end connected to the input end of the inversion amplifier; and a control voltage supply circuit that alternately supplies each of first and second voltages to the control line.
