Patent ID: 7952628

Claim:
A solid-state imaging device comprising: a reflection timing control signal output unit configured to output a reflection timing control signal for controlling a timing of outputting operation setting data for a device to a driving section of the device; a data holding unit configured to latch the operation setting data inputted from outside and to output the operation setting data; and a collective-reflection processing unit configured to collectively latch the operation setting data latched by and outputted from the data holding unit in synchronism with the reflection timing control signal, and output the latched operation setting data to the driving section, wherein the reflection timing control signal output unit receives a vertical synchronization signal and an end-of-communication signal representative of an end of communication of a series of operation setting data from outside, and outputs the reflection timing control signal to the collective-reflection processing unit in synchronism with the vertical synchronization signal after the end-of-communication signal is received.
