Abstract
A photoelectric conversion device includes a plurality of pixels configured to output analog voltage signals in response to incident light; an analog memory configured to store the analog voltage signals output from the plurality of pixels; and an analog/digital (A/D) converter configured to perform A/D conversion on the analog voltage signal from the analog memory. The plurality of pixels includes N pixels configured to simultaneously output analog voltage signals to the analog memory. The A/D converter includes (N−1) or less A/D converters configured to perform A/D conversion on the analog voltage signals that have been simultaneously output from the N pixels and stored in the analog memory.
