Abstract:
Provided is a photoelectric conversion device including: a pixel array including pixels arranged to form columns; and a readout unit including column readout circuits provided corresponding to the columns, each of the column readout circuits being configured to read out signals from the pixels in a corresponding column. Each of the column readout circuits includes a holding unit configured to hold a reference voltage supplied from a reference voltage line, an amplifier unit configured to amplify a signal output from one of the pixels based on the reference voltage held in the holding unit, and a switch unit configured to electrically disconnect the reference voltage line from the holding unit when the amplifier unit amplifies the signal. The holding unit of a first column readout circuit and the holding unit of a second column readout circuit are electrically connected to each other by a path other than the switch unit.

Claim (Index 3):
The photoelectric conversion device according to  claim 1  further comprising a connection transistor having a first primary electrode and a second primary electrode,\n wherein the holding unit of the first column readout circuit is connected to the first primary electrode of the connection transistor, and the holding unit of the second column readout circuit is connected to the second primary electrode of the connection transistor, and \n wherein, when the connection transistor is turned on, the holding unit of the first column readout circuit and the holding unit of the second column readout circuit are electrically connected to each other.
