A solid-state imaging device includes a first converter which converts an analog signal representing a pixel value to an upper bit of a digital signal, and a second converter which converts the analog signal to a lower bit of the digital signal. The second converter includes a first latch circuit which latches, as phase information, a plurality of clock signals having different phases upon conversion to the upper bit in the first converter, a conversion circuit which generates the lower bit of the digital signal by converting the phase information to a binary value, and an adder, and a second latch circuit which latches an addition result of the adder. The adder adds the binary value converted by the conversion circuit and a value latched by the second latch circuit.
