Abstract
An image sensor circuit includes a plurality of column analog/digital conversion circuits each including: first to n-th storage elements configured to respectively store first to n-th pieces of bit data that constitute analog/digital-converted data obtained by analog/digital-converting analog signals outputted by pixels, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 2; first to (n−1)-th transfer paths configured to respectively transfer the bit data stored in the first to (n−1)-th storage elements from the first to (n−1)-th storage elements to the second to n-th storage elements; and an n-th transfer path configured to transfer the bit data stored in the n-th storage element from the n-th storage element to outside the plurality of column analog/digital conversion circuits.
