Solid state image sensor with mode conversion function of CCIR / EIA (CCIR / EIA)

摘要

The present invention is to provide a solid-state image pickup device having a CCIR / EIA mode conversion function suitable for common use without replacing the solid-state image pickup device separately in accordance with each method in using the solid-state image pickup device of the CCIR system in the EIA system.;The CCIR / EIA mode conversion solid-state image pickup device of the present invention includes a plurality of VCCD regions formed at regular intervals in a low direction, a plurality of VCCD regions formed in a column direction at the end portions of the VCCD regions, A plurality of photodetectors arranged regularly between the VCCD regions and generating signal charges according to an image signal, a plurality of photodetectors arranged vertically between the VCCD regions and the photodetectors, A plurality of vertical gate electrodes for transmitting signal charges in the photodetectors to the HCCD region through the VCCD regions, a vertical clock signal generator for supplying the predetermined number of vertical clock signals, And outputs the vertical clock signal to the vertical gate electrodes of some of the plurality of vertical clock signals according to an external selection signal. And a selection unit for supplying disable signals in place of the vertical clock signal.
