Abstract
Provided are an imaging device capable of suppressing an error in inversion timing of a comparison result when an analog pixel signal is compared with a predetermined reference signal, and an electronic apparatus including the imaging device. An imaging device of the present disclosure includes: a load current source; a comparator that has an input transistor connected between the load current source and a signal line transmitting a signal read from a pixel; a first capacitor that inputs a predetermined reference signal to a gate electrode of the input transistor; and a second capacitor connected between the gate electrode of the input transistor and a reference potential node. Furthermore, an electronic apparatus of the present disclosure includes the imaging device having the above-described configuration.
