Abstract
A photoelectric conversion device includes a pixel region in which unit pixels each including a photoelectric conversion unit are arranged to form rows and columns, output lines arranged at least two in each column and each connected to the unit pixel of the corresponding column, column circuits provided corresponding to each of the output lines, and a control circuit configured to control connections between the output lines and the column circuits. The control circuit is configured to connect a first output line to a corresponding first column circuit and disconnect a second output line arranged in the same column as the first output line from a corresponding second column circuit when no pixel signal is output to the second output line at a timing when a pixel signal is output to the first output line.
