<p>Disclosed is a solid-state image capture device, wherein binary pulse generator circuits (203), which generate binary pulses from ternary pulses, are disposed; and vertical drive signals from a vertical drive circuit (103) are switched from ternary pulses to binary pulses by ternary/binary pulse switch control signals (202). The number of terminals between a solid state image capture element (101) and the vertical drive circuit (103) is thereby reduced. Thus, the number of terminals between the image capture element and the vertical drive circuit is reduced.</p>
