IMAGE CAPTURE ELEMENT, PROCESSING METHOD, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Title:

IMAGE CAPTURE ELEMENT, PROCESSING METHOD, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2016/136500

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

The present technology relates to an image capture element, a processing method, and an electronic device with which degradation in the image quality of a captured image due to power supply variations can be decreased. A counting unit includes a count operation unit that performs a count operation for counting a count value, and a dummy operation unit that performs a dummy count operation at a timing complementary to the count operation performed by the count operation unit. The present technology can be applied, for example, to an image capture element for performing A/D conversion by counting a count value.
