Abstract
A timing generator, includes: a first memory circuit that stores timing generation information; a first register for holding the timing generation information in the first memory circuit; a first external input part for accessing to the first register so as to rewrite data therein; a selector that selects one of the first memory circuit and the first external input part in order to conduct writing of data in the first register; and a pulse generation part that generates a pulse timing in accordance with the timing generation information held in the first register so as to output a single or a plurality of pulses. A pulse timing required for driving a solid-state imaging device and the like can be generated easily and the timing generation can be rewritten externally.
