Abstract
High-speed and high-performance signals are compared. In one example, a solid-state imaging element includes a comparison circuit, a first switch, a second switch, a third switch, a first capacitor, and a second capacitor. The comparison circuit includes a non-inverting input terminal and an inverting input terminal. The first switch is connected to the inverting input terminal. The second switch is connected to the inverting input terminal and controlled at a timing different from that of the first switch. The third switch is connected between an output terminal of the comparison circuit and the inverting input terminal. One end of the first capacitor is connected to the inverting input terminal via the first switch, and a reference signal is applied to the other end. One end of the second capacitor is connected to the inverting input terminal via the second switch, and a reference signal is applied to the other end.
