  • CCD-type solid-state imaging device, driving method for CCD-type solid-state imaging device, and imaging system
    Patent number: 8531569
    Abstract: A CCD-type solid-state imaging device includes: light receiving devices arranged in vertical and horizontal directions; vertical transfer parts arranged along vertical rows of the arranged light receiving devices, reading out charge accumulated in the adjacent light receiving devices, and transferring the read out charge in the vertical direction; a horizontal transfer part supplied with the charge transferred in the vertical transfer parts and transferring the supplied charge in the horizontal direction; an output part outputting the charge transferred in the vertical transfer parts; an input terminal for readout and transfer clocks that command readout of the charge from the light receiving devices and transfer of the read out charge in the vertical transfer parts; a resistor connected between the input terminal and a clock supply part of the vertical transfer parts; and a switch part connected to the resistor in parallel and switching between the charge readout and the charge transfer in the vertical trans
