Title:
SOLID-STATE IMAGING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/098777
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A vertical shift register (40a, 40b) has M logic circuits (LO1-LOM) which output a row selection control signal to each of M row selection wires (LV,1-LV,M), and a shift register circuit (43) arranged for each two row selection wires (LV). When a binning control signal (Vbin1 or Vbin2) and the output signal of a shift register circuit (43) are significant values, the M logic circuits (LO1-LOM) output row selection control signals (Vsel) such that a readout switch (SW1) is closed. By controlling the timing at which the binning control signals (Vbin1 and Vbin2) assume significant values, the vertical shift registers (40a, 40b) realize a normal operation mode for sequentially selecting the aforementioned two row selection wires (LV), and a binning operation mode for simultaneously selecting the aforementioned two row selection wires (LV). By this means, the vertical binning operations are achieved by means of a small vertical shift register.
