Abstract
A photoelectric conversion apparatus includes a plurality of pixels arranged in a matrix, and a control circuit configured to control the plurality of pixels. Each of the plurality of pixels include a photoelectric conversion unit configured to generate a signal charge, a floating diffusion unit, a transfer transistor configured to transfer the signal charge to the floating diffusion unit, and a transistor configured to be electrically connected to the floating diffusion unit. The control circuit outputs a row selection pulse configured to select the pixel arranged in a row direction, and a pixel control pulse having a rise time longer than a rise time of the row selection pulse. The pixel control pulse is entered to a gate of the transistor.
