Patent attributes
A photoelectric conversion apparatus includes A/D conversion circuits configured to generate digital data by A/D-converting, during an A/D conversion period, analog signals read out from pixel circuits; memory circuits configured to store the digital data, output circuits each connected to at least two memory circuits among the memory circuits, and a scanning circuit configured to select one of the output circuits and select one of the at least two memory circuits connected to the selected output circuit, thereby reading out the digital data. The scanning circuit is configured not to change the selection of the output circuit during a prohibition period including at least a period until 0.65T elapses after a lapse of 0.35T since a start of the A/D conversion period where T represents a length of the A/D conversion period.
