Claim 7:
8. The endoscope according to claim 1,
wherein the integrated circuit is configured to:
in the first operation mode:
switch from a third state to a fourth state in response to the second clock signal received from the first processor;
generate a second enable signal while in the fourth state;
generate the first drive signal based on the switching signal, the second enable signal and the second clock signal received from the first processor; and

in the second operation mode:
switch from the third state to the fourth state in response to the second clock signal received from the second processor;
generate the second enable signal while in the fourth state; and
in the absence of the first clock signal from the first processor, generate the second drive signal based on the second enable signal and second clock signal received from the second processor.
