Patent ID: 8558933

Claim:
An imaging device comprising: a pixel array that has a plurality of pixels disposed according to an oblique pixel arrangement; a first conversion means for performing digital conversion for pixel signals output from pixels in an even column of the pixel array; a second conversion means for performing digital conversion for pixel signals output from pixels in an odd column of the pixel array; and an addition means for adding pixel data output from the first conversion means and the second conversion means, wherein each of the first conversion means and the second conversion means includes a counter having a flip-flop, a first latch circuit, and a second latch circuit, wherein the counter has a path where the pixel data is transmitted from the flip-flop to the addition means via the first latch circuit and a path where the pixel data is transmitted from the flip-flop to the addition means via the second latch circuit and the first latch circuit, and wherein the pixel data is transmitted using the paths such that the pixel data to be added by the addition means is output from the first conversion means and the second conversion means at the same timing.
