Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a solid-state image sensing apparatus, a control method, and an electronic device capable of reducing a settling time of a vertical signal line at the time of a read operation of pixels. A column processing unit A/D converts pixel signals of a plurality of pixels. A vertical signal line feeds the pixel signals output from the pixels to the A/D converter. A pull-up circuit increases a potential of the vertical signal line at the time of starting a read operation of the pixels. For example, the present disclosure can be applied to a CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) image sensor that performs an interleaving operation or the like.
