An imaging device chip set includes an imaging chip provided for obtaining
an electric signal by photoelectric conversion of incident light, and a
DSP chip provided for carrying out digital signal processing with respect
to the electric signal obtained by the imaging chip. The imaging chip
includes a plurality of unit pixels for generating the electric signal by
the photoelectric conversion of incident light, a horizontal scanning
circuit for selecting the unit pixels in a horizontal direction, and a
vertical scanning circuit for selecting the unit pixels in a vertical
direction. The DSP chip includes a timing generating circuit for
generating timing pulses necessary for operations of the horizontal
scanning circuit and the vertical scanning circuit, and a digital signal
processing circuit for carrying out digital signal processing with
respect to the electric signal generated by the plurality of unit pixels.
The timing generating circuit and the digital signal processing circuit,
which are included in the DSP chip, are formed with CMOS transistors. The
plurality of unit pixels, the horizontal scanning circuit, and the
vertical scanning circuit, which are included in the imaging chip, are
formed with transistors of the same conductivity type.
