Abstract
Provided is an image sensor that is connected to a data bus to which another image sensor is connected and image data is transmitted, and a collision detection line to which the another image sensor is connected and which is pulled up to a voltage at a first level through a register. The image sensor determines, on a basis of a state of the collision detection line, whether a collision of pieces of the image data is to occur on the data bus when the image data is output, and then outputs the image data to the data bus.
