Abstract

A photoelectric conversion apparatus includes a first APD, a first pulse generating circuit that generates a first pulse signal, based on an output from the first APD, a first switch that is provided between a first power supply that applies a first voltage and a first terminal of the first APD, and a second switch that is provided between a second power supply that applies a second voltage and the first terminal of the first APD. When the first switch is turned on, the first APD enters a recharge state. When the first switch is turned off, the first APD enters a standby state. When the second switch is turned on, the first APD enters an inactive state. When the second switch is turned off, the first APD enters an active state. A period during which the first switch is on differs from a period during which the second switch is on.
