1. A CCD pulse generator comprising:
a digital delay type CCD control signal generating section for finely delaying a transfer signal for driving a CCD, thereby generating a plurality of delay signals, and changing selection of the plurality of delay signals, thereby generating a CCD control signal corresponding to set rise and fall timings;
an inverted/non-inverted signal generating section for generating an inverted signal and a non-inverted signal of the CCD control signal;
a selection section for selecting the inverted signal and the non-inverted signal of the CCD control signal;
an output section, having an output enable function, for outputting the signal selected by said selection section; and
an output signal condition setting section for setting pieces of condition setting information that determine operations of said respective section, said output signal condition setting section being formed by a register which is controlled by data, clock, and load control signals.
