Patent attributes
Provided is an imaging device including a pixel array including pixels; a readout circuit that reads out signals from the pixels; a temperature sensor that outputs a signal in accordance with a temperature; and a current control circuit that controls a current supplied to the temperature sensor. The current control circuit performs control in a first period such that a predetermined current is supplied to the temperature sensor, and performs control in a second period such that a current supplied to the temperature sensor becomes smaller than the predetermined current or stops. The first period is set in a first blanking period between a process in which the first readout circuit reads out one frame of signals output from the pixels and a process in which the first readout circuit reads out next one frame of signals output from the pixels.
