A signal processor for reducing power consumption. The signal processor
includes a signal processing circuit and a first regulator connected to
the signal processing circuit. The first regulator receives an external
regulated voltage from an external regulator connected to the signal
processor and generates an internal regulated voltage that is in
accordance with an output level of a CCD image sensor. The signal
processing circuit operates with the internal regulated voltage and
performs a predetermined signal processing on an image signal generated
by the CCD image sensor.
