Comparator, AD converter, solid-state image pickup device, electronic device, method of controlling comparator, data writing circuit, data reading circuit, and data transferring circuit
An imaging device for improving the determining speed of the comparator and reducing power consumption. The comparator includes a differential input circuit that operates with a first power supply voltage, the differential input circuit that outputs a signal when an input signal is higher than a reference signal in voltage, a positive feedback circuit that operates with a second power supply voltage lower than the first power supply voltage and accelerates transition speed when a compared result signal indicating a compared result between the input signal and the reference signal in voltage, is inverted, based on the output signal of the differential input circuit, and a voltage conversion circuit that converts the output signal of the differential input circuit into a signal corresponding to the second power supply voltage.
