ABSTRACT:
A solid state imaging device able to make noise from a nonselected row small, able to suppress occurrence of vertical stripes in a bright scene, not requiring charging including a floating node capacity via a reset transistor, able to prevent an increase of a driver size of a drain line, and able to secure high speed operation and a camera system using this as the imaging device are provided.An MOS type solid state imaging device in which unit pixels10each having a photodiode11, a transfer transistor12for transferring the signal of the photodiode11to a floating node N11, an amplifier transistor13for outputting the signal of the floating node N11to a vertical signal line22, and a reset transistor14for resetting the floating node N11are arrayed in a matrix and in which a gate voltage of the reset transistor14is controlled by three values of a power source potential (for example 3V), a ground potential (0V), and a negative power source potential (for example −1V).
