Patent ID: 8305475

Claim:
A solid-state image sensing device comprising: a clock converting unit for converting a clock into a converted clock having a frequency that is a fraction of the clock; an allocating unit for allocating bit data of the pixel signal obtained by imaging into at least two series of bit data, in synchronization with the converted clock; a first selector for selecting an output that is either data that has been allocated by the allocating unit and bit data that has not been allocated by the allocating unit; a second selector for selecting an output having either a frequency that has been converted by the clock converting unit or a frequency that has not been converted by the clock converting unit; wherein pixel signals that are output at the same transfer rate can be output in synchronization with clocks having different frequencies, and an output mode in which the first selector selects an output of bit data that have not been allocated and the second selector selects a clock converted by the clock converting unit having a frequency of ½ times the clock that has not been converted, the clock converting unit further converts the clock into a clock having a frequency of ¼ times the clock that has not been converted; the allocating unit further alternately allocates the signal into four series of bit data; the first selector makes a selection between one series of bit data, bit data allocated into two series, and bit data allocated into four series; and the second selector makes a selection between a clock having a frequency that has not been converted, a clock having a frequency of ½ times the clock that has not been converted, and a clock having a frequency of ¼ times the clock that has not been converted.
