Assignee: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBA
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A solid-state image sensor, comprising:
a linear array of pixels configured to perform photoelectric conversion of incident light to generate and accumulate signal charges corresponding to the incident light;
an analog shift register that includes a plurality of transfer blocks respectively corresponding to the pixels, the analog shift register configured to transfer the accumulated signal charges received from the linear array of pixels along one direction parallel to the linear array, each transfer block having a first clock driver connected to a first electrode and a second clock driver connected to a second electrode;
a timing generator configured to output pulse signals;
a first signal line connecting the timing generator to the first clock drivers and receiving a first pulse signal from the timing generator; and
a second signal line connecting the timing generator to the second clock drivers and receiving a second pulse signal from the timing generator, the second pulse signal having an opposite phase from the first pulse signal, wherein
each transfer block is driven by its respective first and second clock drivers with a driving signal that has a phase that is offset from the driving signal of any other transfer block in the plurality of transfer blocks.
