Abstract:
A capacitance of a first line which transmits a ramp signal having a potential changed by a first changing amount is controlled to be larger than a capacitance of a second line which transmits a ramp signal having a potential changed by a second changing amount which is larger than the first changing amount.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus, comprising:\n a supply unit configured to supply a first ramp signal having a potential changed by a first changing amount per unit time and a second ramp signal having a potential changed by a second changing amount which is larger than the first changing amount per unit time; a first line configured to transmit the first ramp signal; a second line configured to transmit the second ramp signal; and analog/digital conversion units each of which is configured to be connected to the first and second lines, include a selection unit which outputs one of the first and second ramp signals and a comparison unit which performs a first comparison between the ramp signal output from the selection unit and an analog signal, and obtain a digital signal corresponding to the analog signal by the first comparison, wherein a first capacitance of an electric path extending from the supply unit through the first line to the selection unit is larger than a second capacitance of an electric path extending from the supply unit through the second line to the selection unit.
