Abstract
A solid-state imaging device includes a reflection timing control signal output unit, a data holding unit, and a collective-reflection processing unit. The reflection timing control signal output unit outputs a reflection timing control signal for controlling a timing of outputting operation setting data. The data holding unit latches the operation setting data inputted from outside and outputs the operation setting data. The collective-reflection processing unit collectively latches the operation setting data in synchronism with the reflection timing control signal, and outputs the latched operation setting data to a driving section. The reflection timing control signal output unit receives a vertical synchronization signal and an end-of-communication signal representative of an end of communication of a series of operation setting data from outside, and outputs the reflection timing control signal to the collective-reflection processing unit in synchronism with the vertical synchronization signal after the end-of-communication signal is received.
