Solid-state imaging apparatus

The present application provides a solid-state imaging device. The solid-state imaging device includes a plurality of pixels and a time series converting analog image signals from the pixels into a digital signal comprising upper bits and lower bits of the A / D converter. A / D converter includes a first holding unit holding the upper bits of the digital signal, a second holding means holding the lower digit bits of the digital signal, a third holding unit holding the digital signal from the first holding unit and second holding from the fourth holding unit holding unit of the digital signal. Comprising a first and a second pair of third holding unit arrangement comprises a first pair and the second and fourth holding units of pixels along the column direction of the two-dimensional array.
