Abstract:
An imaging device arrangement, comprising:a first imaging device unit that is controlled in accordance with a first control signal so that an electric charge signal corresponding to an amount of light received by said first imaging device unit is generated and output from said first imaging device unit; a first wiring circuit that transmits said first control signal to said first imaging device unit; a second imaging device unit that is controlled in accordance with a second control signal so that an electric charge signal corresponding to an amount of light received by said second imaging device unit is generated and output from said second imaging device unit; a second wiring circuit that transmits said second control signal to said second imaging device unit; and a single IC chip board provided with said first and second imaging device units and said first and second wiring circuits, said first and second wiring circuits being connected to each other and to a common terminal on said IC chip board, said IC chip board being provided with a signal output terminal, by which said electric charge signal is output from a focus condition sensing device, and a control permission signal input terminal, by which a control permission signal that permits a control of said first and second imaging device units is input to the focus condition sensing device, said first and second wiring circuits being connected to a terminal other than said signal output terminal and said control permission signal input terminal.
