Abstract

The photoelectric conversion device includes a pixel including a photoelectric conversion element and outputting a signal corresponding to an amount of charge generated in the photoelectric conversion element, an output line from which a signal of the pixel is output, a clip circuit constituting a source follower circuit and including a transistor having a source connected to the output line and an interconnection connected to a gate of the transistor, and a voltage supply circuit configured to supply a first voltage and a second voltage to the interconnection. A driving power when the interconnection is controlled to the first voltage by the voltage supply circuit and a driving power when the interconnection is controlled to the second voltage by the voltage supply circuit is different.
