Abstract
An analog front-end circuit controlling an imaging device and processing an analog image signal output from the imaging device includes: an analog processing section that receives an analog image signal from the imaging device, provides the image signal with predetermined processing, and outputs the image signal; an A/D converter that performs A/D conversion with the image signal output from the analog processing section; a transmitter circuit that receives digital image data output from the A/D converter, generates a differential signal based on the digital image data, and outputs the differential signal; and a timing generator that generates a plurality of clocks including a multiphase driving clock for driving the imaging device based on a first reference clock; the transmitter circuit including a differential amplifier circuit that generates a differential signal based on the digital image data output from the A/D converter, and outputting the differential signal generated in the differential amplifier circuit.
