Abstract
A solid-state image-capturing device includes a pixel array including a plurality of pixel circuits arranged in rows and columns. Each pixel circuit includes: a photoelectric conversion element that generates an electric charge through photoelectric conversion between a bias terminal and a first node, and amplifies the electric charge according to a bias voltage applied via the bias terminal and the first node; a transfer circuit that electrically connects the first node to a second node according to a first control signal; a reset circuit that applies a reset voltage to the second node according to a second control signal; an output circuit that reads out a voltage of the second node according to a third control signal; and an analog memory that is electrically connected to the second node according to a fourth control signal.
