Serial data transmission-reception device and digital camera

Abstract

A transmission unit (210) includes an insertion unit (21) which performs multiple insertion processing for inserting judgment information between each two adjacent line data of a plurality of consecutive line data included in serial image data. A data format conversion unit (13) uses a transmission path (14D) to transmit post-insertionserial image data, in which a plurality of judgment information has been inserted, to a reception unit (220). The reception unit (220) includes a data format conversion unit (15) which sequentially detects a plurality of judgment information from the post-insertion serial image data received from the transmission path (14D) and judges whether unreproducible line data exists based on at least a portion of the detected plurality of information.

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates to a serial data transmitting and receiving device and a digital camera for transmitting serial data. Background technique

[0002] In recent years, in solid-state imaging devices such as digital still cameras and digital video cameras, the amount of image data to be processed has been increasing. Therefore, in recent years, solid-state imaging devices having circuits using LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling: Low Voltage Differential Signaling) signals capable of rapidly processing data have been increasing.

[0003] Patent Document 1 discloses a solid-state imaging device using a differential signal which is an LVDS signal. Next, a solid-state imaging device using a differential signal will be described.

[0004] Figure 5 It is a diagram showing a conventional solid-state imaging device 500 using a differential signal.
