Abstract:
An image capturing apparatus includes a first chip and a second chip. The first chip includes a plurality of pixels. The second chip is stacked on the first chip and includes a plurality of signal processing circuits arranged in a two-dimensional form. Each signal processing circuit includes a first selection circuit, a plurality of amplifier circuits, and an analog-to-digital conversion unit. The first selection circuit includes a plurality of input nodes, a plurality of output nodes, and is configured such that a signal output from a pixel and input to one of the plurality of input nodes is selectively output to one of the plurality of output nodes. The plurality of amplifier circuits respectively are connected to the plurality of output nodes of the first selection circuit. The analog-to-digital conversion unit is configured to convert a plurality of output signals output from the plurality of amplifier circuits.

Claim (Index 3):
The image capturing apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the first selection circuit operates such that in a period from a time at which a first signal is input to one of the plurality of amplifier circuits till a time at which a second signal different from the first signal is input to the one of the plurality of amplifier circuits, the first selection circuit inputs signals sequentially to the other ones of the plurality of amplifier circuits.
