A photoelectric converting apparatus of the present invention includes, in
one embodiment, a photoelectric converting element, a resetting
transistor in which a source is connected to the photoelectric converting
element and a drain is connected to a resetting power source, a readout
transistor in which a gate is connected to the photoelectric converting
element and a drain is connected to a readout power source, a signal line
connected to a source of the readout transistor, a selecting transistor
connected between the readout power source or the signal line and the
readout transistor, and a constant current source connected to the signal
line.
