Abstract
A counter readout circuit includes a plurality of counter registers and an output data computing unit. The plurality of counter registers, each includes a counter which counts per clock signal cycle. The output data computing unit includes a computing unit which adds, for output, the counter value of a counter register to the total clock count from a first timing to a second timing. The counter register is selected from the plurality of counter registers. The first timing is common to all of the plurality of counter registers. The second timing is a timing of selection of the selected counter register.
