Patent attributes
An image sensor array is provided with: first and second CCD image sensors that output a plurality of first and second signal voltages from first and second output terminals, respectively; a switch circuit selectively connecting one of the first and second output terminals to a signal voltage output terminal; and a timing generator circuit responsive to a basic clock generating first and second control signals and switch control signals. First and second control signals control generation of the first and second signal voltages, respectively. The switch control signals are used for controlling the switch circuit. The timing generator circuit controls the first and second CCD image sensors so that the first and second CCD image sensors alternately output the first and second signal voltages. The timing generator circuit controls the switch circuit to alternately output from the signal voltage output terminal one of the first and second signal voltages.
