Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a solid-state imaging device, an AD converter, and an electronic apparatus that improve a crosstalk characteristic. The AD converter includes a comparator that compares the pixel signal with the reference signal, a pixel signal side capacitor, and a reference signal side capacitor. The pixel signal side capacitor and the reference signal side capacitor are formed such that a first parasitic capacity, and a second parasitic capacity are substantially the same. The present technology is applicable to a CMOS image sensor, for example.

Claim (Index 7):
An electronic apparatus, comprising:\n a solid-state imaging device including\n a pixel region including a plurality of pixels that output pixel signals corresponding to an amount of irradiated light, the plurality of pixels being disposed in an array, \n a column signal processing circuit that AD-converts the pixel signals in parallel by a plurality of AD converters, the number of the plurality of AD converters corresponding to the number of columns of the pixels, and \n a reference signal generating circuit that generates a reference signal to which the AD converter refers when the AD converter AD-converts the pixel signals, \n each of the AD converters including\n a comparator that compares the pixel signal with the reference signal, \n a pixel signal side capacitor connected between a pixel-signal signal line that transmits the pixel signals and one input terminal of the comparator, and \n a reference signal side capacitor connected between a reference-signal signal line that transmits the reference signal and another input terminal of the comparator, \n the pixel signal side capacitor and the reference signal side capacitor being formed such that a first parasitic capacity generated between a node at a pixel signal line side of the pixel signal side capacitor connected to an adjacent other AD converter and a node at a comparator side of the reference signal side capacitor, and a second parasitic capacity generated between the node at the pixel signal line side of the pixel signal side capacitor connected to the adjacent other AD converter and a node at a comparator side of the pixel signal side capacitor are substantially the same.
