ABSTRACT:
A solid-state image pickup device is provided that includes coupling capacitors, a memory unit, amplifiers, and a circuit for removing an output offset. The capacitors reduce pixel noise by clamping signals from the pixels. The amplifiers amplify signal voltages from the coupling capacitors and write the amplified signal voltages to analog memory cells of the memory unit. The circuit removes the output offset of an amplifier and an analog memory cell.
