Abstract:
An imaging sensor comprising: an imaging chip in which a plurality of pixel are arranged in a matrix; and a signal processing chip that is each provided for one or more pixel columns or one or more pixel rows, has a device that performs signal processing on a pixel signal output from a pixel, and is stacked with the imaging chip is provided. For example, the device that performs signal processing is an A/D converter that converts a pixel signal output from the pixel into a digital signal, and when a pixel signal output from the pixel is converted into a digital signal, at least two or more A/D converters among the A/D converters are controlled in parallel.

Claim (Index 8):
An imaging sensor according to  claim 7 , wherein\n the pixel unit has a second area in which a plurality of pixels connected to a second control line are arranged, the second control line controlling a readout of a signal that is different from the first control line, the first signal processing circuit processes a signal output from a second pixel of the second area, the signal processing unit has a second signal processing circuit that processes a signal output from a third pixel in the first area and a signal output from a fourth pixel in the second area, the third pixel being different from the first pixel, the fourth pixel being different from the second pixel, the first signal processing circuit is arranged at a position that overlaps the first area, and the second signal processing circuit is arranged at a position that overlaps the second area, the second pixel outputs a signal to the first output interconnection, and a second output interconnection, to which the third pixel and the fourth pixel output signals, is connected to the second signal processing circuit via a second connection unit that is provided outside a region in which the plurality of pixels of the pixel unit are arranged, and electrically connects the pixel unit and the signal processing unit, the second connection unit being different from the first connection unit.
