Abstract: A CCD charge transfer drive device includes: a timing signal generation unit that generates a first timing signal group including N timing signals representing CCD drive pulses; a control signal generation unit that generates a first control signal when a level change of any of the N timing signals is detected, the first control signal indicating a first enable period that is k times as long as one cycle of a system clock signal (k is an integer that is equal to or larger than N/2 and is closest to N/2); a time-division multiplexing unit that time-division multiplexes the N timing signals in the first enable period by time-division multiplexing two signals per cycle of the system clock signal; and a demultiplexing unit that demultiplexes the time-division multiplexed signal into the N timing signals.
