Abstract:
A photoelectric conversion device includes a pixel array including one or more linear array, each including plural linearly-arranged pixels; and plural memory circuits, each including plural memory cells. The plural pixels in the pixel array are connected one-to-one to the plural memory cells of the plural memory circuits. Each of the plural pixels alternately outputs a photoelectric conversion value indicating an electric voltage generated in accordance with a light amount of an incident light entering the pixel, and a reset value indicating a reference charge of the pixel, to the memory cell corresponding to the pixel. Each of the plural memory cells temporarily stores the photoelectric conversion value and the reset value output from the pixel corresponding to the memory cell. Each of the plural memory circuits outputs the photoelectric conversion values and the reset values stored in the plural memory cells of the memory circuit, in a predetermined order.

Claim (Index 4):
The photoelectric conversion device according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a plurality of amplifiers, each of the plurality of amplifiers being connected to a corresponding memory circuit of the plurality of memory circuits; a plurality of analog/digital converters, each of the plurality of analog/digital converters being connected to a corresponding amplifier of the plurality of amplifiers; and a plurality of pixel value calculators, each of the plurality of pixel value calculators being connected to a corresponding analog/digital converter of the plurality of analog/digital converters, wherein each of the plurality of amplifiers amplifies a difference value between the photoelectric conversion value and the reset value, for each pixel, that are output from the corresponding memory circuit connected to the amplifier, and an offset value for the amplifier based on a first reference electric voltage, and outputs alternately the difference value and the offset value, wherein each of the plurality of analog/digital converters, based on a plurality of second reference electric voltages, which are different from each other, converts the difference value and the offset value, output from the corresponding amplifier connected to the analog/digital converter, from an analog value to a digital value, and outputs the difference value and the offset value, and wherein each of the plurality of pixel value calculators, based on the difference value and the offset value, output from the corresponding analog/digital converter connected to the pixel value calculator, calculates a pixel value of each pixel, and outputs the pixel value.
