TIMING GENERATION APPARATUS, A SOLID IMAGE PICKUP APPARATUS AND A CAMERA SYSTEM TO GENERATE TIMING OF A PULSE EASILY

摘要

PURPOSE: A timing generation apparatus, a solid image pickup apparatus and a camera system are provided to generate timing of a pulse easily and enable timing generation information to be modified in the outside by setting the timing generation information in a memory circuit. CONSTITUTION: The first memory circuit(10) stores the timing generation information. The first register(11) keeps the timing generation information of the first memory circuit. The first external input part(12) is used for modification of data by access to the first register. A selector(13) selects one of the first memory circuit and the first external input part in order to write data in the first register. A pulse generation part(14) generates pulse timing according to the timing generation information kept by the first register and then creates a single pulse or a plurality of pulses.
