Abstract
The photoelectric conversion apparatus according to an embodiment includes a photoelectric conversion element (PD), a first transistor (Mpx) including a gate that receives a first signal from the photoelectric conversion element (PD), a second transistor (M), and a third transistor (M) that selectively constitutes a first differential pair constituted by the first transistor (Mpx) and the third transistor (M) and a second differential pair constituted by the second transistor (M) and the third transistor (M). The photoelectric conversion apparatus outputs a second signal based on a voltage at the gate of the first transistor (Mpx) to a gate of the second transistor (M).
