Abstract
Provided is a photoelectric conversion device including a pixel array that includes pixels forming columns and is arranged in a substrate, first signal lines each transmitting a signal output from a pixel of a corresponding column, an analog circuit arranged in the substrate and configured to process signals from the pixels, second signal lines transmitting signals from the pixels to the analog circuit on a column basis, a switch configured to change a combination of connections between the first signal lines and the second signal lines, and a shift register arranged in the substrate, including a flip-flop, and configured to control the switch. In a plan view with respect to the substrate, the shift register is arranged between the pixel array and the analog circuit. In the plan view, the switch and the flip-flop are arranged in a direction different from a direction in which the first signal lines extend.
