A photoelectric conversion device formed on a single semiconductor substrate,
including:
a plurality of photoelectric conversion elements; a read-out circuit including
a switch for reading out analog signals from the photoelectric conversion elements;
a buffer circuit for driving the switch; and a logic circuit for processing digital
signals. A first semiconductor area to which a ground level for the buffer circuit
is supplied and a second semiconductor area to which a ground level for the logic
circuit is supplied are electrically separated from each other.
