Abstract
A photoelectric conversion device is provided. The device includes pixels each including first and second converters and a row selector. A holding unit and an AD converter are arranged for each column. The holding unit includes a holding circuit to receive signals from pixels via output lines and a selector. The row selector causes at least two pixels that are connected to different output lines and arranged on different rows to output first signals based on a signal of the first converter, and then output second signals based on signals of the first and second converter. The selector selects the first and second signals that are held by the holding circuit and outputs them to the AD converter, and a number of first signals output to the AD converter is smaller than a number of first signals supplied to the holding circuit.
