Abstract
An imaging apparatus includes an image sensor and a phase comparison circuit. The image sensor includes, a pixel configured to generate a video signal, a readout circuit configured to read out the video signal, an output circuit configured to output the video signal to a signal processor, a clock generation circuit configured to generate a first clock, and a first control circuit configured to cause the signal processor to output the video signal in accordance with the first clock and a synchronization signal generated by the signal processor. The phase comparison circuit makes a phase comparison between the video signal and a second clock generated by the signal processor. The clock generation circuit generates the first clock based on a power supply voltage in accordance with the phase difference signal.
