Claim:
1. An imaging device comprising: a sensor chip having: a pixel array in which a first pixel and a second pixel are arranged in a first direction, the first pixel outputting a first signal generated by electric charge generated by photoelectric conversion to a first signal line and the second pixel outputting a second signal generated by electric charge generated by photoelectric conversion to a second signal line different from the first signal line; a first output terminal which is coupled to the first signal line and is provided to output the first signal; and a second output terminal which is coupled to the second signal line and is provided to output the second signal; a first signal processing chip, different from the sensor chip, having a first input terminal which is provided to input the first signal output from the first output terminal and a first signal processing unit which converts the first signal input to the first input terminal into a digital signal: and a second signal processing chip, different from the sensor chip, having a second input terminal which is provided to input the second signal output from the second output terminal and a second signal processing unit which converts the second signal input to the second input terminal into a digital signal, wherein the first signal processing chip and the second signal processing chip are arranged to sandwich the pixel array of the sensor chip in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction.
