SOLID-STATE IMAGING DEVICE, IMAGE DATA TRANSMISSION METHOD, AND CAMERA SYSTEM

The invention relates to a SOLID-STATE IMAGING DEVICE, an IMAGE DATA TRANSMISSION METHOD, AND a CAMERA SYSTEM. The present invention provides a solid-state imaging device conforming to different data transmission modes. A driver in a CMOS sensor includes a single-end driver which is provided in correspondence with two output terminals, activated in a parallel transmission mode, and outputs a corresponding data signal as a single-end signal to a corresponding output terminal; a serializer which is activated in a serial transmission mode and outputs a plurality of data signals which are supplied in parallel, serially one by one, and a differential driver which is activated in the serial transmission mode and outputs each of data signals output from the serializer as a differential signal to the output terminals.
