Abstract: One or more control signals in specified output states are generated at one time at a predetermined timing. A command generation section generates control data, piece by piece at each predetermined timing, corresponding to the plural control signals. A register sequentially receives the generated control data at the each predetermined timing and outputs one or more pieces of the control data to a command execution section at one time at a timing predetermined for the one or more pieces of the control data. The command execution section generates, at one time, one or more control signals of a value or values corresponding to the one or more pieces of the control data received from the register at one time at a timing predetermined for the one or more pieces of the control data.
Abstract: An imaging apparatus using a CCD image sensor in which a size of a circuit for generating a voltage to be applied to a substrate of the CCD image sensor is reduced. A partial range within a voltage range from a supply voltage Vcc to 0 V is divided by a resistance voltage divider and one of different voltage values obtained as a result of voltage division is selected by a selector according to external data and outputted to a high voltage amplifier. The high voltage amplifier generates a voltage signal with a voltage expressed by VMSUB=(Vdaout?Vdd2)×(3R+R)/R+Vdd2=4×Vdaout?3×Vdd2(V) to make it a middle voltage for an exposure control signal.
