IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE AND IMAGE CAPTURING METHOD

摘要

A bus interface/camera control interface connects a processor and a plurality of imaging units. A control data pass-through logic exchanges data between the bus interface/camera control interface and the plurality of imaging units. A pass-through mask register includes: a write register used to specify, of the plurality of imaging units, one or more imaging units to be selected so as to selectively supply write data to the one or more imaging units; and a read register used to specify, of the plurality of imaging units, a single imaging unit to be selected so as to selectively receive read data from the single imaging unit. The control data pass-through logic use the pass-through mask register to switch between input and output operations.

1. An image capturing device comprising:
a plurality of imaging units; an interface section adapted to connect the plurality of imaging units and a processor; a logic circuit adapted to exchange data between the interface section and the plurality of imaging units; a write register used to specify, of the plurality of imaging units, one or more imaging units to be selected so as to selectively supply write data to the one or more imaging units; and a read register used to specify, of the plurality of imaging units, a single imaging unit to be selected so as to selectively receive read data from the single imaging unit, wherein the logic circuit is switched between input and output operations by the write register and the read register.
