VITA 2000 Package Photograph Applications * * * * Machine Vision Motion Monitoring Security Barcode Scanning (2D) Description The VITA 2000 is a 2/3 inch Widescreen Ultra eXtended Graphics Array (WUXGA) CMOS image sensor configurable in HD format (1920 x 1080) or 4:3 format (1600 X 1200). The high sensitivity 4.8 mm x 4.8 mm pixels support pipelined and triggered global shutter readout modes and can also be operated in a low noise rolling shutter mode. In rolling shutter mode, the sensor supports correlated double sampling readout, reducing noise and increasing the dynamic range. The sensor has on-chip programmable gain amplifiers and 10-bit A/D converters. The integration time and gain parameters can be reconfigured without any visible image artifact. Optionally the on-chip automatic exposure control loop (AEC) controls these parameters dynamically. The image's black level is either calibrated automatically or can be adjusted by adding a user programmable offset. A high level of programmability using a four wire serial peripheral interface enables the user to read out specific regions of interest. Up to 8 regions can be programmed, achieving even higher frame rates. The image data interface of the V1-SN/SE part consists of four LVDS lanes, facilitating frame rates up to 92 frames per second. Each channel runs at 620 Mbps. A separate synchronization channel containing payload information is provided to facilitate the image reconstruction at the receive end. The V2-SN/SE part provides a parallel CMOS output interface at reduced frame rate. The VITA 2000 is packaged in a 52-pin LCC package and is available in a monochrome and color version.

This block adds synchronization information to the data stream based on the frame timing. For the V1-SN/SE version, the data then goes to the low voltage serial (LVDS) interface block which sends the data out through the I/O ring. The V2-SN/SE sensor does not have an LVDS interface but sends out the data through a 10-bit parallel interface. On-chip programmability is achieved through the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). See the Register Map on page 50 for register details. A bias block generates bias currents and voltages for all analog blocks on the chip. By controlling the bias current, the speed-versus-power of each block can be tuned. All biasing programmability is contained in the bias block. The sensor can automatically control exposure and gain by enabling the automatic exposure control block (AEC). This block regulates the integration time along with the analog and digital gains to reach the desired intensity. Figure 4 and Figure 5 give an overview of the major functional blocks of the V1-SN/SE and V2-SN/SE sensor respectively. The system clock is received by the CMOS clock input. A PLL generates the intenal, high speed, clocks, which are distributed to the other blocks. Optionally, the V1-SN/SE can also accept a high speed LVDS clock, in which case the PLL will be disabled. The sequencer defines the sensor timing and controls the image core. The sequencer is started either autonomously (master mode) or on assertion of an external trigger (slave mode). The image core contains all pixels and readout circuits. The column structure selects pixels for readout and performs correlated double sampling (CDS) or double sampling (DS). The data comes out sequentially and is fed into the analog front end (AFE) block. The programmable gain amplifier (PGA) of the AFE adds the offset and gain. The output is a fully differential analog signal that goes to the ADC, where the analog signal is converted to a 10-bit data stream.

Block Diagram - V2-SN/SE Image Core sequencer and can access the pixel array in global and rolling shutter modes. The pixel biasing block guarantees that the data on a pixel is transferred properly to the column multiplexer when the row drivers select a pixel line for readout. The image core consists of: * Pixel Array * Address Decoders and Row Drivers * Pixel Biasing The pixel array contains 1920 (H) x 1200 (V) readable pixels with a pixel pitch of 4.8 mm. Four dummy pixel rows and columns are placed at every side of the pixel array to eliminate possible edge effects. The sensor uses a 5T pixel architecture, which makes it possible to read out the pixel array in global shutter mode with double sampling (DS), or in rolling shutter mode with correlated double sampling (CDS). The function of the row drivers is to access the image array line by line, or all lines together, to reset or read the pixel data. The row drivers are controlled by the on-chip Phase Locked Loop The PLL accepts a (low speed) clock and generates the required high speed clock. Optionally this PLL can be bypassed. Typical input clock frequency is 62 MHz. LVDS Clock Receiver The LVDS clock receiver receives an LVDS clock signal and distributes the required clocks to the sensor. Typical input clock frequency is 310 MHz in 10-bit mode and 248 MHz in 8-bit mode. The clock input needs to be terminated with a 100 W resistor. www.onsemi.com 10 NOIV1SN2000A, NOIV2SN2000A Column Multiplexer Serializer and LVDS Interface (V1-SN/SE only) All pixels of one image row are stored in the column sample-and-hold (S/H) stages. These stages store both the reset and integrated signal levels. The data stored in the column S/H stages is read out through 8 parallel differential outputs operating at a frequency of 31 MHz. At this stage, the reset signal and integrated signal values are transferred into an FPN-corrected differential signal. The column multiplexer also supports read-1-skip-1 and read-2-skip-2 mode. Enabling this mode can speed up the frame rate, with a decrease in resolution. The serializer and LVDS interface block receives the formatted (10-bit or 8-bit) data from the data formatting block. This data is serialized and transmitted by the LVDS output driver. In 10-bit mode, the maximum output data rate is 620 Mbps per channel. In 8-bit mode, the maximum output data rate is 496 Mbps per channel. In addition to the LVDS data outputs, two extra LVDS outputs are available. One of these outputs carries the output clock, which is skew aligned to the output data channels. The second LVDS output contains frame format synchronization codes to serve system-level image reconstruction. Bias Generator The bias generator generates all required reference voltages and bias currents that the on-chip blocks use. An external resistor of 47 kW, connected between pin IBIAS_MASTER and gnd_33, is required for the bias generator to operate properly. Output MUX (V2-SN/SE only) The output MUX multiplexes the four data channels to one channel and transmits the data words using a 10-bit parallel CMOS interface. Frame synchronization information is communicated by means of frame and line valid strobes. Analog Front End The AFE contains 8 channels, each containing a PGA and a 10-bit ADC. For each of the 8 channels, a pipelined 10-bit ADC is used to convert the analog image data into a digital signal, which is delivered to the data formatting block. A black calibration loop is implemented to ensure that the black level is mapped to match the correct ADC input level. Sequencer * * * Data Formatting * The data block receives data from two ADCs and multiplexes this data to one data stream. A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) code is calculated on the passing data. A frame synchronization data block is foreseen to transmit synchronization codes such as frame start, line start, frame end, and line end indications. The data block calculates a CRC once per line for every channel. This CRC code can be used for error detection at the receiving end. * The sequencer: Controls the image core. Starts and stops integration in rolling and global shutter modes and control pixel readout. Operates the sensor in master or slave mode. Applies the window settings. Organizes readouts so that only the configured windows are read. Controls the column multiplexer and analog core. Applies gain settings and subsampling modes at the correct time, without corrupting image data. Starts up the sensor correctly when leaving standby mode. Automatic Exposure Control The AEC block implements a control system to modulate the exposure of an image. Both integration time and gains are controlled by this block to target a predefined illumination level. www.onsemi.com 11 NOIV1SN2000A, NOIV2SN2000A OPERATING MODES The VITA 2000 sensor is able to operate in the following shutter modes: * Global Shutter Mode Pipelined Global Shutter - Master - Slave Triggered Global Shutter - Master - Slave * Rolling Shutter Mode Global Shutter Mode In the global shutter mode, light integration takes place on all pixels in parallel, although subsequent readout is sequential. Figure 6 shows the integration and readout sequence for the synchronous shutter. All pixels are light sensitive at the same period of time. The whole pixel core is reset simultaneously and after the integration time all pixel values are sampled together on the storage node inside each pixel. The pixel core is read out line by line after integration. Note that the integration and readout can occur in parallel or sequentially. Reset N Integration Time Handling Readout Handling FOT Figure 6. Global Shutter Operation Pipelined Global Shutter In pipelined global shutter mode, the integration and readout are done in parallel. Images are continuously read and integration of frame N is ongoing during readout of the previous frame N-1. The readout of every frame starts with a Frame Overhead Time (FOT), during which the analog value on the pixel diode is transferred to the pixel memory element. After the FOT, the sensor is read out line per line and the readout of each line is preceded by the Row Overhead Time (ROT). Figure 7 shows the exposure and readout time line in pipelined global shutter mode.

Integration and Readout for Pipelined Shutter * Master integration time is controlled by an external pin. As soon as the control pin is asserted, the pixel array goes out of reset and integration starts. The integration continues until the external pin is de-asserted by the system. Now, the image is sampled and the readout is started. Figure 8 shows the relation between the external trigger signal and the exposure/readout timing. In this operation mode, the integration time is set through the register interface and the sensor integrates and reads out the images autonomously. The sensor acquires images without any user interaction. * Slave The slave mode adds more manual control to the sensor.

Pipelined Shutter Operated in Slave Mode The triggered global mode is also controlled in a master or slave mode fashion. * Master In this mode, a rising edge on the synchronization pin is used to trigger the start of integration and readout. The integration time is defined by a register setting. The sensor autonomously integrates during this predefined time, after which the FOT starts and the image array is readout sequentially. A falling edge on the synchronization pin does not have any impact on the readout or integration and subsequent frames are started again for each rising edge. Figure 9 shows the relation between the external trigger signal and the exposure/readout timing. If a rising edge is applied on the external trigger before the exposure time and FOT of the previous frame is complete, it is ignored by the sensor. Triggered Global Shutter In this mode, manual intervention is required to control both the integration time and the start of readout. After the integration time, indicated by a user controlled pin, the image core is read out. After this sequence, the sensor goes to an idle mode until a new user action is detected. The three main differences with the pipelined global shutter mode are * Upon user action, one single image is read. * Integration and readout are done sequentially. However, the user can control the sensor in such a way that two consecutive batches are overlapping, that is, having concurrent integration and readout. * Integration and readout is under user control through an external pin. This mode requires manual intervention for every frame. The pixel array is kept in reset state until requested.

Triggered Shutter Operated in Master Mode * Slave FOT starts. The analog value on the pixel diode is transferred to the pixel memory element and the image readout can start. A request for a new frame is started when the synchronization pin is asserted again. Integration time control is identical to the pipelined shutter slave mode. An external synchronization pin controls the start of integration. When it is de-asserted, the www.onsemi.com 13 NOIV1SN2000A, NOIV2SN2000A Rolling Shutter Mode Figure 10 schematically indicates the relative shift of the integration times of different lines during the rolling shutter operation. Each row is read and reset in a sequential way. Each row in a particular frame is integrated for the same time, but all lines in a frame `see' a different stare time. As a consequence, fast horizontal moving objects in the field of view give rise to motion artifacts in the image; this is an unavoidable property of a rolling shutter. In rolling shutter mode, the pixel Fixed Pattern Noise (FPN) is corrected on-chip by using the CDS technique. After light integration on all pixels in a row is complete, the storage node in the pixel is reset. Afterwards the integrated signal is transferred to that pixel storage node. The difference between the reset level and integrated signal is the FPN corrected signal. The advantage of this technique, compared to the DS technique used in the global shutter modes, is that the reset noise of the pixel storage node is cancelled. This results in a lower temporal noise level. Another shutter mode supported by the sensor is the rolling shutter mode. The shutter mechanism is an electronic rolling shutter and the sensor operates in a streaming mode similar to a video. This mechanism is controlled by the on-chip sequencer logic. There are two Y pointers. One points to the row that is to be reset for rolling shutter operation, the other points to the row to be read out. Functionally, a row is reset first and selected for read out sometime later. The time elapsed between these two operations is the exposure time. Figure 10. Rolling Shutter Operation www.onsemi.com 14 NOIV1SN2000A, NOIV2SN2000A SENSOR OPERATION Flowchart Low Power Standby In low power standby state, all power supplies are on, but internally every block is disabled. No internal clock is running (PLL / LVDS clock receiver is disabled). All register settings are unchanged. Only a subset of the SPI registers is active for read/write in order to be able to configure clock settings and leave the low power standby state. The only SPI registers that should be touched are the ones required for the `Enable Clock Management' action described in Enable Clock Management - Part 1 on page 17 Standby (1) In standby state, the PLL/LVDS clock receiver is running, but the derived logic clock signal is not enabled. Standby (2) In standby state, the derived logic clock signal is running. All SPI registers are active, meaning that all SPI registers can be accessed for read or write operations. All other blocks are disabled. Idle In the idle state, all internal blocks are enabled, except the sequencer block. The sensor is ready to start grabbing images as soon as the sequencer block is enabled. Running In running state, the sensor is enabled and grabbing images. The sensor can be operated in different rolling/global master/slave modes. Figure 11 shows the sensor operation flowchart. The sensor can be in six different `states'. Every state is indicated with the oval circle. These states are: * Power off * Low power standby * Standby (1) * Standby (2) * Idle * Running These states are ordered by power dissipation. In `power-off' state, the power dissipation is minimal; in `running' state the power dissipation is maximal. On the other hand, the lower the power consumption, the more actions (and time) are required to put the sensor in `running' state and grab images. This flowchart allows the trade-off between power saving and enabling time of the sensor. Next to the six `states' a set of `user actions', indicated by arrows, are included in the flowchart. These user actions make it possible to move from one state to another. Sensor States Power Off In this state, the sensor is inactive. All power supplies are down and the power dissipation is zero. www.onsemi.com 15 NOIV1SN2000A, NOIV2SN2000A Power Off Power Down Sequence Power Up Sequence Low-Power Standby Disable Clock Management Part 1 Enable Clock Management - Part 1 Poll Lock Indication (only when PLL is enabled) Enable Clock Management - Part 2 (First Pass after Hard Reset) Intermediate Standby Required Register Upload Standby (2) Sensor (re-)configuration (optional) Soft Power-Down Soft Power-Up Sensor (re-)configuration (optional) Idle Disable Sequencer Enable Sequencer Sensor (re-)configuration (optional) Running Figure 11.

First, a set of clock settings must be uploaded through the SPI register. These settings are dependent on the desired operation mode of the sensor. Table 6 shows the SPI uploads to be executed to configure the sensor for V1-SN/SE 8-bit serial, V1-SN/SE 10-bit serial, or V2-SN/SE 10-bit parallel mode, with and without the PLL. In the serial modes, if the PLL is not used, the LVDS clock input must be running. In the V2-SN/SE10-bit parallel mode, the PLL is bypassed. The clk_pll clock is used as sensor clock. It is important to follow the upload sequence listed in Table 6. Power Up Sequence Figure 12 shows the power up sequence of the sensor. The figure indicates that the first supply to ramp-up is the vdd_18 supply, followed by vdd_33 and vdd_pix respectively. It is important to comply with the described sequence. Any other supply ramping sequence may lead to high current peaks and, as consequence, a failure of the sensor power up. The clock input should start running when all supplies are stabilized. When the clock frequency is stable, the reset_n signal can be de-asserted. After a wait period of 10 ms, the power up sequence is finished and the first SPI upload can be initiated. NOTE: The `clock input' can be the CMOS PLL clock input (clk_pll), or the LVDS clock input (lvds_clock_inn/p) in case the PLL is bypassed. Use of Phase Locked Loop If PLL is used, the PLL is started after the upload of the SPI registers. The PLL requires (dependent on the settings) some time to generate a stable output clock. A lock detect circuit detects if the clock is stable. When complete, this is flagged in a status register. NOTE: The lock detect status must not be checked for the V2-SN/SE sensor. Check this flag by reading the SPI register. When the flag is set, the `Enable Clock Management- Part 2' action can be continued. When PLL is not used, this step can be bypassed as shown in Figure 11 on page 16. clock input reset_n vdd_18 vdd_33 vdd_pix SPI Upload > 10us > 10us > 10us > 10us > 10us Figure 12.

It is important that the sensor is in reset before the clock input stops running. Otherwise, the internal PLL becomes unstable and the sensor gets into an unknown state. This can cause high peak currents. The same applies for the ramp down of the power supplies. The preferred order to ramp down the supplies is first vdd_pix, second vdd_33, and finally vdd_18. Any other sequence can cause high peak currents. NOTE: The `clock input' can be the CMOS PLL clock input (clk_pll), or the LVDS clock input (lvds_clock_inn/p) in case the PLL is bypassed. clock input reset_n vdd_18 vdd_33 vdd_pix > 10us > 10us > 10us > 10us Figure 13. Power Down Sequence www.onsemi.com 22 NOIV1SN2000A, NOIV2SN2000A Sensor Reconfiguration Sensor Configuration During the standby, idle, or running state several sensor parameters can be reconfigured. * Frame Rate and Exposure Time: Frame rate and exposure time changes can occur during standby, idle, and running states. * Signal Path Gain: Signal path gain changes can occur during standby, idle, and running states. * Windowing: Changes with respect to windowing can occur during standby, idle, and running states. Refer to Multiple Window Readout on page 32 for more information. * Subsampling: Changes of the subsampling mode can occur during standby, idle, and running states. Refer to Subsampling on page 33 for more information. * Shutter Mode: The shutter mode can only be changed during standby or idle mode. Reconfiguring the shutter mode during running state is not supported. This device contains multiple configuration registers. Some of these registers can only be configured while the sensor is not acquiring images (while register 192[0] = 0), while others can be configured while the sensor is acquiring images. For the latter category of registers, it is possible to distinguish the register set that can cause corrupted images (limited number of images containing visible artifacts) from the set of registers that are not causing corrupted images. These three categories are described here. Static Readout Parameters Some registers are only modified when the sensor is not acquiring images. Reconfiguration of these registers while images are acquired can cause corrupted frames or even interrupt the image acquisition. Therefore, it is recommended to modify these static configurations while the sequencer is disabled (register 192[0] = 0). The registers shown in Table 15 should not be reconfigured during image acquisition. A specific configuration sequence applies for these registers. Refer to the operation flow and startup description. Table 15. STATIC READOUT PARAMETERS Group Addresses Description Clock generator 32 Configure according to recommendation Image core 40 Configure according to recommendation AFE 48 Configure according to recommendation Bias 64-71 Configure according to recommendation LVDS 112 Configure according to recommendation Sequencer mode selection 192 [6:1] All reserved registers Operation modes are: * Rolling shutter enable * triggered_mode * slave_mode Keep reserved registers to their default state, unless otherwise described in the recommendation an image containing visible artifacts. A typical example of a corrupted image is an image which is not uniformly exposed. The effect is transient in nature and the new configuration is applied after the transient effect. Dynamic Configuration Potentially Causing Image Artifacts The category of registers as shown in Table 16 consists of configurations that do not interrupt the image acquisition process, but may lead to one or more corrupted images during and after the re-configuration. A corrupted image is Table 16. DYNAMIC CONFIGURATION POTENTIALLY CAUSING IMAGE ARTIFACTS Group Addresses Description Black level configuration 128-129 197[8] Reconfiguration of these registers may have an impact on the black-level calibration algorithm. The effect is a transient number of images with incorrect black level compensation. Sync codes 129[13] 130-135 Incorrect sync codes may be generated during the frame in which these registers are modified. Datablock test configurations 144-150 Modification of these registers may generate incorrect test patterns during a transient frame. www.onsemi.com 23 NOIV1SN2000A, NOIV2SN2000A shown in Table 17. Some reconfiguration may lead to one frame being blanked. This happens when the modification requires more than one frame to settle. The image is blanked out and training patterns are transmitted on the data and sync channels. Dynamic Readout Parameters It is possible to reconfigure the sensor while it is acquiring images. Frame-related parameters are internally resynchronized to frame boundaries, such that the modified parameter does not affect a frame that has already started. However, there can be restrictions to some registers as Table 17. DYNAMIC READOUT PARAMETERS Group Addresses Subsampling/binning 192[7] 192[8] Description Subsampling or binning is synchronized to a new frame start. Black lines 197 Reconfiguration of these parameters causes one frame to be blanked out in rolling shutter operation mode, as the reset pointers need to be recalculated for the new frame timing. No blanking in global shutter mode Dummy lines 198 Reconfiguration of these parameters causes one frame to be blanked out in rolling shutter operation mode, as the reset pointers need to be recalculated for the new frame timing. No blanking in global shutter mode. ROI configuration 195 256-279 Optionally, it is possible to blank out one frame after reconfiguration of the active ROI in rolling shutter mode. Therefore, register 206[8] must be asserted (blank_roi_switch configuration). A ROI switch is only detected when a new window is selected as the active window (reconfiguration of register 195). Reconfiguration of the ROI dimension of the active window does not lead to a frame blank and can cause a corrupted image. Exposure reconfiguration 199-203 Exposure reconfiguration does not cause artifact. However, a latency of one frame is observed unless reg_seq_exposure_sync_mode is set to `1' in triggered global mode (master). Gain reconfiguration 204 Gains are synchronized at the start of a new frame. Optionally, one frame latency can be incorporated to align the gain updates to the exposure updates (refer to register 199[13] gain_lat_comp). of registers can be programmed in the sync_configuration registers, which can be found at the SPI address 206. Figure 14 shows a re-configuration that does not use the sync_configuration option. As depicted, new SPI configurations are synchronized to frame boundaries. With sync_configuration = `1'. Configurations are synchronized to the frame boundaries. Figure 15 shows the usage of the sync_configuration settings. Before uploading a set of registers, the corresponding sync_configuration is de-asserted. After the upload is completed, the sync_configuration is asserted again and the sensor resynchronizes its set of registers to the coming frame boundaries. As seen in the figure, this ensures that the uploads performed at the end of frame N+2 and the start of frame N+3 become active in the same frame (frame N+4). Freezing Active Configurations Though the readout parameters are synchronized to frame boundaries, an update of multiple registers can still lead to a transient effect in the subsequent images, as some configurations require multiple register uploads. For example, to reconfigure the exposure time in master global mode, both the fr_length and exposure registers need to be updated. Internally, the sensor synchronizes these configurations to frame boundaries, but it is still possible that the reconfiguration of multiple registers spans over two or even more frames. To avoid inconsistent combinations, freeze the active settings while altering the SPI registers by disabling synchronization for the corresponding functionality before reconfiguration. When all registers are uploaded, re-enable the synchronization. The sensor's sequencer then updates its active set of registers and uses them for the coming frames.

SPI Registers Active Registers Figure 15. Reconfiguration Using Sync_configuration NOTE: SPI updates are not taken into account while sync_configuration is inactive. The active configuration is frozen for the sensor. Table 18 lists the several sync_configuration possibilities along with the respective registers being frozen. Table 18. ALTERNATE SYNC CONFIGURATIONS Group Affected Registers Description sync_rs_x_length rs_x_length Update of x-length configuration (rolling shutter only) is not synchronized at start of frame when `0'. The sensor continues with its previous configurations. sync_black_lines black_lines Update of black line configuration is not synchronized at start of frame when `0'. The sensor continues with its previous configurations. sync_dummy_lines sync_exposure sync_gain sync_roi dummy_lines Update of dummy line configuration is not synchronized at start of frame when `0'. The sensor continues with its previous configurations. mult_timer fr_length exposure Update of exposure configurations is not synchronized at start of frame when `0'.

The sensor continues with its previous configurations. roi_active0[7:0] subsampling binning Update of active ROI configurations is not synchronized at start of frame when `0'. The sensor continues with its previous configurations. Note: The window configurations themselves are not frozen. Re-configuration of active windows is not gated by this setting. Window Configuration window configurations. Note that switching between two different windows might result in a corrupted frame. This is inherent in the rolling shutter mechanism, where each line must be reset sequentially before being read out. This corrupted window can be blanked out by setting register 206[8]. In this case, a dead time is noted on the LVDS interface when the window-switch occurs in the sensor. During this blank out, training patterns are sent out on the data and sync channels for the duration of one frame. Global Shutter Mode Up to 8 windows can be defined in global shutter mode (pipelined or triggered). The windows are defined by registers 256 to 279. Each window can be activated or deactivated separately using register 195. It is possible to reconfigure the windows while the sensor is acquiring images. It is also possible to reconfigure the inactive windows or to switch between predefined windows. One can switch between predefined windows by reconfiguring the register 195. This way a minimum number of registers need to be uploaded when it is necessary to switch between two or more sets of windows. As an example of this, scanning the scene at higher frame rates using multiple windows and switching to full frame capture when the object is traced. Switching between the two modes only requires an upload of one register. Black Calibration The sensor automatically calibrates the black level for each frame. Therefore, the device generates a configurable number of electrical black lines at the start of each frame. The desired black level in the resulting output interface can be configured and is not necessarily targeted to `0'. Configuring the target to a higher level yields some information on the left side of the black level distribution, while the other end of the distribution tail is clipped to `0' when setting the black level target to `0'. The black level is calibrated for the 8 columns contained in one kernel. Configurable parameters for the black-level algorithm are listed in Table 19. Rolling Shutter Mode In rolling shutter mode it is not possible to read multiple windows. Do not activate more than one window (register 195). However, it is possible to configure more than one window and dynamically switch between the different www.onsemi.com 25 NOIV1SN2000A, NOIV2SN2000A Table 19. CONFIGURABLE PARAMETERS FOR BLACK LEVEL ALGORITHM Group Addresses Description black_lines This register configures the number of black lines that are generated at the start of a frame. At least one black line must be generated. The maximum number is 255. Note: When the automatic black-level calibration algorithm is enabled, make sure that this register is configured properly to produce sufficient black pixels for the black-level filtering. The number of black pixels generated per line is dependent on the operation mode and window configurations: Global Shutter - Each black line contains 240 kernels. Rolling Shutter - As the line length is fundamental for rolling shutter operation, the length of a black line is defined by the active window. gate_first_line When asserting this configuration, the first black line of the frame is blanked out and is not used for black calibration. It is recommended to enable this functionality, because the first line can have a different behavior caused by boundary effects. When enabling, the number of black lines must be set to at least two in order to have valid black samples for the calibration algorithm. auto_blackcal_enable Internal black-level calibration functionality is enabled when set to `1'. Required black level offset compensation is calculated on the black samples and applied to all image pixels. When set to `0', the automatic black-level calibration functionality is disabled. It is possible to apply an offset compensation to the image pixels, which is defined by the registers 129[10:1]. Note: Black sample pixels are not compensated; the raw data is sent out to provide external statistics and, optionally, calibrations. 129[9:1] blackcal_offset Black calibration offset that is added or subtracted to each regular pixel value when auto_blackcal_enable is set to `0'. The sign of the offset is determined by register 129[10] (blackcal_offset_dec). Note: All channels use the same offset compensation when automatic black calibration is disabled. The calculated black calibration factors are frozen when this register is set to 0x1FF (all-`1') in auto calibration mode. Any value different from 0x1FF re-enables the black calibration algorithm. This freezing option can be used to prevent eventual frame to frame jitter on the black level as the correction factors are recalculated every frame. It is recommended to enable the black calibration regularly to compensate for temperature changes. 129[10] blackcal_offset_dec Sign of blackcal_offset. If set to `0', the black calibration offset is added to each pixel. If set to `1', the black calibration offset is subtracted from each pixel. This register is not used when auto_blackcal_enable is set to `1'. black_samples The black samples are low-pass filtered before being used for black level calculation. The more samples are taken into account, the more accurate the calibration, but more samples require more black lines, which in turn affects the frame rate. The effective number of samples taken into account for filtering is 2^ black_samples. Note: An error is reported by the device if more samples than available are requested (refer to register 136). Black Line Generation 197[7:0] 197[8] Black Value Filtering 129[0] 128[10:8] Black Level Filtering Monitoring 136 blackcal_error0 An error is reported by the device if there are requests for more samples than are available (each bit corresponding to one data path). The black level is not compensated correctly if one of the channels indicates an error. There are three possible methods to overcome this situation and to perform a correct offset compensation: * Increase the number of black lines such that enough samples are generated at the cost of increasing frame time (refer to register 197). * Relax the black calibration filtering at the cost of less accurate black level determination (refer to register 128). * Disable automatic black level calibration and provide the offset via SPI register upload. Note that the black level can drift in function of the temperature. It is thus recommended to perform the offset calibration periodically to avoid this drift. www.onsemi.com 26 NOIV1SN2000A, NOIV2SN2000A Serial Peripheral Interface indicated in Figure 16. The sensor samples this data on a rising edge of the sck clock (mosi needs to be driven by the system on the falling edge of the sck clock). 3. The tenth bit sent by the master indicates the type of transfer: high for a write command, low for a read command. 4. Data transmission: - For write commands, the master continues sending the 16-bit data, most significant bit first. - For read commands, the sensor returns the requested address on the miso pin, most significant bit first. The miso pin must be sampled by the system on the falling edge of sck (assuming nominal system clock frequency and maximum 10 MHz SPI frequency). 5. When data transmission is complete, the system deselects the sensor one clock period after the last bit transmission by pulling ss_n high. Maximum frequency for the SPI depends on the input clock and type of sensor. The frequency is 1/6th of the PLL input clock or 1/30th (in 10-bit mode) and 1/24th (in 8-bit mode) of the LVDS input clock frequency. At nominal input frequency (62 Mhz / 310 MHz / 248 MHz), the maximum frequency for the SPI is 10 MHz. Bursts of SPI commands can be issued by leaving at least two SPI clock periods between two register uploads. Deselect the chip between the SPI uploads by pulling the ss_n pin high. The sensor configuration registers are accessed through an SPI. The SPI consists of four wires: * sck: Serial Clock * ss_n: Active Low Slave Select * mosi: Master Out, Slave In, or Serial Data In * miso: Master In, Slave Out, or Serial Data Out The SPI is synchronous to the clock provided by the master (sck) and asynchronous to the sensor's system clock. When the master wants to write or read a sensor's register, it selects the chip by pulling down the Slave Select line (ss_n). When selected, data is sent serially and synchronous to the SPI clock (sck). Figure 16 shows the communication protocol for read and write accesses of the SPI registers. The VITA 2000 sensor uses 9-bit addresses and 16-bit data words. Data driven by the system is colored blue in Figure 16, while data driven by the sensor is colored yellow. The data in grey indicates high-Z periods on the miso interface. Red markers indicate sampling points for the sensor (mosi sampling); green markers indicate sampling points for the system (miso sampling during read operations). The access sequence is: 1. Select the sensor for read or write by pulling down the ss_n line. 2. One SPI clock cycle after selecting the sensor, the 9-bit data is transferred, most significant bit first.

This indicates the start of the integration or exposure time. The length of the exposure time is defined by the registers exposure and mult_timer. NOTE: The start of the exposure time is synchronized to the start of a new line (during ROT) if the exposure period starts during a frame readout. As a consequence, the effective time during which the image core is in a reset state is extended to the start of a new line. * Make sure that the sum of the reset time and exposure time exceeds the time required to readout all lines. If this is not the case, the exposure time is extended until all (active) lines are read out. * Alternatively, it is possible to specify the frame time and exposure time. The sensor automatically calculates the required reset time. This mode is enabled by the fr_mode register. The frame time is specified in the register fr_length. The following sections describe the configurations for single slope reset mechanism. Dual and triple slope handling during global shutter operation is similar to the single slope operation. Extra integration time registers are available. Global Shutter Mode Pipelined Global Shutter (Master) The integration time is controlled by the registers fr_length[15:0] and exposure[15:0]. The mult_timer configuration defines the granularity of the registers reset_length and exposure. It is read as number of system clock cycles (16.129 ns nominal at 62 MHz) for the V1-SN/SE version and 15.5 MHz cycles (64.516 ns nominal) for the V2-SN/SE version. The exposure control for (Pipelined) Global Master mode is depicted in Figure 17. The pixel values are transferred to the storage node during FOT, after which all photo diodes are reset. The reset state remains active for a certain time, defined by the reset_length and mult_timer registers, as shown in the figure. Note that meanwhile the image array is read out line by line. After this Frame N Exposure State FOT Readout FOT Reset Frame N+1 Integrating FOT Reset Integrating FOT FOT FOT Image Array Global Reset reset_length x mult_timer exposure x mult_timer = ROT = Readout = Readout Dummy Line (blanked) Figure 17. Integration Control for (Pipelined) Global Shutter Mode (Master) exposure and mult_timer, as in the master pipelined global mode. The fr_length configuration is not used. This operation is graphically shown in Figure 18. Triggered Global Shutter (Master) In master triggered global mode, the start of integration time is controlled by a rising edge on the trigger0 pin.

Exposure Time Control in Triggered Shutter Mode (Master) www.onsemi.com 29 NOIV1SN2000A, NOIV2SN2000A the pixel storage node and readout of the image array. In other words, the high time of the trigger pin indicates the integration time, the period of the trigger pin indicates the frame time. The use of the trigger during slave mode is shown in Figure 19. Notes: * The falling edge on the trigger pin does not have any impact. Note however the trigger must be asserted for at least 100 ns. * The start of the exposure time is synchronized to the start of a new line (during ROT) if the exposure period starts during a frame readout. As a consequence, the effective time during which the image core is in a reset state is extended to the start of a new line. * If the exposure timer expires before the end of readout, the exposure time is extended until the end of the last active line. * The trigger pin needs to be kept low during the FOT. The monitor pins can be used as a feedback to the FPGA/controller (eg. use monitor0, indicating the very first line when monitor_select = 0x5 - a new trigger can be initiated after a rising edge on monitor0). Notes: * The registers exposure, fr_length, and mult_timer are not used in this mode. * The start of exposure time is synchronized to the start of a new line (during ROT) if the exposure period starts during a frame readout. As a consequence, the effective time during which the image core is in a reset state is extended to the start of a new line. * If the trigger is de-asserted before the end of readout, the exposure time is extended until the end of the last active line. * The trigger pin needs to be kept low during the FOT. The monitor pins can be used as a feedback to the FPGA/controller (eg. use monitor0, indicating the very first line when monitor_select = 0x5 - a new trigger can be initiated after a rising edge on monitor0). Triggered Global Shutter (Slave) Exposure or integration time is fully controlled by means of the trigger pin in slave mode. The registers fr_length, exposure and mult_timer are ignored by the sensor. A rising edge on the trigger pin indicates the start of the exposure time, while a falling edge initiates the transfer to Frame N Exposure State FOT Reset Frame N+1 Integrating FOT Reset Integrating FOT trigger0 Readout FOT FOT FOT Image Array Global Reset = ROT = Readout = Readout Dummy Line (blanked) Figure 19. Exposure Time Control in Global-Slave Mode www.onsemi.com 30 NOIV1SN2000A, NOIV2SN2000A Rolling Shutter Mode frame rate by adding so called dummy lines. A dummy line lasts for the same time as a regular line, but no pixel data is transferred to the system. The number of dummy lines is controlled by the register dummy_lines. The rolling shutter exposure mechanism is graphically shown in Figure 20. The exposure time during rolling shutter mode is always an integer multiple of line-times. The exposure time is defined by the register exposure and expressed in number of lines. The register fr_length and mult_timer are not used in this mode. The maximum exposure time is limited by the frame time. It is possible to increase the exposure time at the cost of the Figure 20. Integration Control in Rolling Shutter Mode It is clear that when the number of rows and/or the length of a row are reduced (by windowing or subsampling), the frame time decreases and consequently the frame rate increases. To be able to artificially increase the frame time, it is possible to: * add dummy clock cycles to a row time * add dummy rows to the frame Note: The duration of one line is the sum of the ROT and the time required to read out one line (depends on the number of active kernels in the window). Optionally, this readout time can be extended by the configuration rs_x_length. This register, expressed in number of periods of the logic clock (16.129 ns for the V1-SN/SE version and 64.516 ns for the V2-SN/SE version), determines the length of the x-readout. However, the minimum for rs_x_length is governed by the window size (x-size). www.onsemi.com 31 NOIV1SN2000A, NOIV2SN2000A ADDITIONAL FEATURES Multiple Window Readout Up to eight windows can be defined, possibly (partially) overlapping, as illustrated in Figure 22. The VITA 2000 sensor supports multiple window readout, which means that only the user-selected Regions Of Interest (ROI) are read out. This allows limiting data output for every frame, which in turn allows increasing the frame rate. * In global shutter mode, up to eight ROIs can be configured. * In rolling shutter mode, only a single ROI is supported. All multiple windowing features described further in this section are only valid for global shutter mode. 1920 pixels y1_end ROI 1 1200 pixels y0_end y1_start ROI 0 Window Configuration Figure 21 shows the four parameters defining a region of interest (ROI). y0_start 1920 pixels x0_start y-end x0_end x1_start x1_end Figure 22. Overlapping Multiple Window Configuration 1200 pixels ROI 0 y-start The sequencer analyses each line that need to be read out for multiple windows. Restrictions The following restrictions for each line are assumed for the user configuration: * Windows are ordered from left to right, based on their x-start address: x_start_roi(i) v x_start_roi(j) AND x-start x-end Figure 21. Region of Interest Configuration x_end_roi(i) vx_end_roi(j) * x-start[7:0] Where j > i x-start defines the x-starting point of the desired window. The sensor reads out 8 pixels in one single clock cycle. As a consequence, the granularity for configuring the x-start position is also 8 pixels for no sub sampling. The value configured in the x-start register is multiplied by 8 to find the corresponding column in the pixel array. * x-end[7:0] This register defines the window end point on the x-axis. Similar to x-start, the granularity for this configuration is one kernel. x-end needs to be larger than x-start. * y-start[9:0] The starting line of the readout window. The granularity of this setting is one line, except with color sensors where it needs to be an even number. * y-end[9:0] The end line of the readout window. y-end must be configured larger than y-start. This setting has the same granularity as the y-start configuration. Processing Multiple Windows The sequencer control block houses two sets of counters to construct the image frame. As previously described, the y-counter indicates the line that needs to be read out and is incremented at the end of each line. For the start of the frame, it is initialized to the y-start address of the first window and it runs until the y-end address of the last window to be read out. The last window is configured by the configuration registers and it is not necessarily window #7. The x-counter starts counting from the x-start address of the window with the lowest ID which is active on the addressed line. Only windows for which the current y-address is enclosed are taken into account for scanning. Other windows are skipped. www.onsemi.com 32 NOIV1SN2000A, NOIV2SN2000A * The x-pointer starting position is equal to the x-start ROI 2 ys ROI 3 * ROI 4 ROI 1 * ROI 0 configuration of the first active window on the current line addressed. This window is not necessarily window #0. The x-pointer is not necessarily incremented by one each cycle. At the end of a window it can jump to the start of the next window. Each window can be activated separately. There is no restriction on which window and how many of the 8 windows are active. Subsampling Subsampling is used to reduce the image resolution. This allows increasing the frame rate. Two subsampling modes are supported: for monochrome sensors (V1/V2-SN) and color sensors (V1/V2-SE). Figure 23. Scanning the Image Array with Five Windows Figure 23 illustrates a practical example of a configuration with five windows. The current position of the read pointer (ys) is indicated by a red line crossing the image array. For this position of the read pointer, three windows need to be read out. The initial start position for the x-kernel pointer is the x-start configuration of ROI1. Kernels are scanned up to the ROI3 x-end position. From there, the x-pointer jumps to the next window, which is ROI4 in this illustration. When reaching ROI4's x-end position, the read pointer is incremented to the next line and xs is reinitialized to the starting position of ROI1. Notes: * The starting point for the readout pointer at the start of a frame is the y-start position of the first active window. * The read pointer is not necessarily incremental by one, but depending on the configuration, it can jump in y-direction. In Figure 23, this is the case when reaching the end of ROI0 where the read pointer jumps to the y-start position of ROI1 Monochrome Sensors For monochrome sensors, the read-1-skip-1 subsampling scheme is used. Subsampling occurs both in x- and ydirection. Color Sensors For color sensors, the read-2-skip-2 subsampling scheme is used. Subsampling occurs both in x- and y- direction. Figure 24 shows which pixels are read and which ones are skipped. Binning Pixel binning is a technique in which different pixels are averaged in the analog domain. A 2x1 binning mode is available on the monochrome sensors (V1/V2-SN). When enabled, two neighboring pixels in the x-direction are averaged while line readout happens in a read-1-skip-1 manner. Pixel binning is not supported on V1/V2-SE. Figure 24. Subsampling Scheme for Monochrome and Color Sensors www.onsemi.com 33 NOIV1SN2000A, NOIV2SN2000A Multiple Slope Integration To increase the dynamic range of the sensor, a second slope is applied in the dual slope mode (green curve). The sensor has the same responsivity in the black as for a single slope, but from `knee point 1' on, the sensor is less responsive to incoming light. The result is that the saturation point is at a higher light power level. To further increase the dynamic range, a third slope can be applied, resulting in a second knee point. The multiple slope function is only available in global shutter modes. Refer to section Global Shutter Mode on page 29 for general notes applicable to the global shutter operation and more particular to the use of the trigger0 pin. `Multiple Slope Integration' is a method to increase the dynamic range of the sensor. The VITA 2000 supports up to three slopes. Figure 25 shows the sensor response to light when the sensor is used with one slope, two slopes, and three slopes. The X-axis represents the light power; the Y-axis shows the sensor output signal. The kneepoint of the multiple slope curves are adjustable in both position and voltage level. It is clear that when using only one slope (red curve), the sensor has the same responsivity over the entire range, until the output saturates at the point indicated with `single slope saturation point'. output 1023 slope 3 kneepoint 2' slope 1 slope 2 kneepoint 1' 0 single slope saturation point light triple slope saturation point dual slope saturation point Figure 25. Multiple Slope Operation Required Register Uploads Multiple slope integration requires the uploads as described in the following table. Note that these are cumulative with the required register uploads (Table 8). These register uploads are subject to change. Table 21.

NOTE: Dual and triple slope sequences must start after readout of the previous frame is fully completed. Figure 26 shows the frame timing for pipelined master mode with dual and triple slope integration and fr_mode = `0' (fr_length representing the reset length). In triggered master mode, the start of integration is initiated by a rising edge on trigger0, while the falling edge does not have any relevance. Exposure duration and dual/triple slope points are defined by the registers. Kneepoint Configuration (Multiple Slope Reset Levels) The kneepoint reset levels are configured by means of DAC configurations in the image core. The dual slope kneepoint is configured with the dac_ds configuration, while the triple slope kneepoint is configured with the dac_ts register setting. Both are located on address 41. Multiple Slope Integration in Master Mode (Pipelined or Triggered) In master mode, the time stamps for the double and triple slope resets are configured in a similar way as the exposure time. They are enabled through the registers Figure 26. Multiple Slope Operation in Master Mode for fr_mode = `0' (Pipelined) initiates the triple slope reset sequence. Rising edges on trigger1 and trigger2 do not have any impact. NOTE: Dual and triple slope sequences must start after readout of the previous frame is fully completed. Slave Mode In slave mode, the register settings for integration control are ignored. The user has full control through the trigger0, trigger1 and trigger2 pins.

Multiple Slope Operation in Slave Mode www.onsemi.com 35 FOT Integrating NOIV1SN2000A, NOIV2SN2000A Black Reference exposure time and gain are reconfigured together, as an exposure time update always has one frame latency. The sensor reads out one or more black lines at the start of every new frame. The number of black lines to be generated is programmable and is minimal equal to 1. The length of the black lines depends on the operation mode: for Rolling Shutter mode, the length of the black line is equal to the line length configured in the active window. For Global Shutter mode, the sensor always reads out the entire line (240 kernels), independent of window configurations. The black references are used to perform black calibration and offset compensation in the data channels. The raw black pixel data is transmitted over the usual output interface, while the regular image data is compensated (can be bypassed). On the output interface, black lines can be seen as a separate window, however without Frame Start and Ends (only Line Start/End). The Sync code following the Line Start and Line End indications ("window ID") contains the active window number for Rolling Shutter operation, while it is 0 for Snapshot Shutter operation. Black reference data is classified by a BL code. Table 22.

The gain configuration is an absolute 5.7 unsigned number (5 digits before and 7 digits after the decimal point). Analog Gain Stages Two gain steps are available in the analog data path to apply gain to the analog signal before it is digitized. The gain amplifier can apply a gain of 1x to 8x to the analog signal. The moment a gain re-configuration is applied and becomes valid can be controlled by the gain_lat_comp configuration. With `gain_lat_comp' set to `0', the new gain configurations are applied from the very next frame. With `gain_lat_comp' set to `1', the new gain settings are postponed by one extra frame. This feature is useful when Automatic Exposure Control Requested Illumination Level (Target) AEC Statistics Total Gain Requested Gain Changes The exposure control mechanism has the shape of a general feedback control system. Figure 28 shows the high level block diagram of the exposure control loop. AEC Filter AEC Enforcer Integration Time Analog Gain (Coarse Steps) Digital Gain (Fine Steps) Image Capture Figure 28. Automatic Exposure Control Loop * * The relative gain change request from the statistics Three main blocks can be distinguished: The statistics block compares the average of the current image's samples to the configured target value for the average illumination of all pixels block is filtered in the time domain (low pass filter) before being integrated. The output of the filter is the total requested gain in the complete signal path. www.onsemi.com 36 NOIV1SN2000A, NOIV2SN2000A * The enforcer block accepts the total requested gain and Table 24. AEC TARGET ILLUMINATION CONFIGURATION distributes this gain over the integration time and gain stages (both analog and digital) The automatic exposure control loop is enabled by asserting the aec_enable configuration in register 160. NOTE: Dual and Triple slope integration is not supported in conjunction with the AEC. Description 192[10] roi_aec_enable When 0x0, all active windows are selected for statistics calculation. When 0x1, the AEC samples are selected from the active pixels contained in the region of interest defined by roi_aec 253-255 roi_aec These registers define a window from which the AEC samples will be selected when roi_aec_enable is asserted. Configuration is similar to the regular region of interests. The intersection of this window with the active windows define the selected pixels. It is important that this window at least overlaps with one or more active windows. Description 161[9:0] desired_in tensity Target intensity value, on 10bit scale.

Table 23. AEC SAMPLE SELECTION Name Name Color Sensor The weight of each color can be configured for color sensors by means of scale factors. Note these scale factor are only used to calculate the statistics in order to compensate for (off-chip) white balancing and/or color matrices. The pixel values itself are not modified. The scale factors are configured as 3.7 unsigned numbers (0x80 = unity). AEC Statistics Block The statistics block calculates the average illumination of the current image. Based on the difference between the calculated illumination and the target illumination the statistics block requests a relative gain change. Statistics Subsampling and Windowing For average calculation, the statistics block will sub-sample the current image or windows by taking every fourth sample into account. Note that only the pixels read out through the active windows are visible for the AEC. In the case where multiple windows are active, the samples will be selected from the total samples. Samples contained in a region covered by multiple (overlapping) window will be taking into account only once. It is possible to define an AEC specific sub-window on which the AEC will calculate it's average. For instance, the sensor can be configured to read out a larger frame, while the illumination is measured on a smaller region of interest, e.g. center weighted. Register Register AEC Filter Block The filter block low-pass filters the gain change requests received from the statistics block. The filter can be restarted by asserting the restart_filter configuration of register 160. AEC Enforcer Block The enforcer block calculates the four different gain parameters, based on the required total gain, thereby respecting a specific hierarchy in those configurations. Some (digital) hysteresis is added so that the (analog) sensor settings don't need to change too often. Exposure Control Parameters The several gain parameters are described below, in the order in which these are controlled by the AEC for large adjustments. Small adjustments are regulated by digital gain only. * Exposure Time In rolling shutter mode, the exposure time is the time elapsed between resetting a particular line and reading it out. Important note for rolling shutter operation: a minimum of 4 dummy lines is required when using the automatic exposure controller. Target Illumination The target illumination value is configured by means of register desired_intensity. www.onsemi.com 37 NOIV1SN2000A, NOIV2SN2000A This time is constant for all lines in a frame, lest the image be non-uniformly exposed. The exposure time is always an integer multiple of the line time. In a snapshot shutter mode, the exposure is the time between the global image array reset de-assertion and the pixel charge transfer. The granularity of the integration time steps is configured by the mult_timer register. NOTE: The exposure_time register is ignored when the AEC is enabled. The register fr_length defines the frame time and needs to be configured accordingly. * Analog Gain The sensor has two analog gain stages, configurable independently from each other. Typically the AEC shall first regulate the first stage. Optionally this behavior can be inverted by setting the amp_pri register. * Digital Gain The last gain stage is a gain applied on the digitized samples. The digital gain is represented by a 5.7 unsigned number (i.e. 7 bits after the decimal point). While the analog gain steps are coarse, the digital gain stage makes it possible to achieve very fine adjustments.

This configuration specifies the effective gain in 5.7 unsigned format Exposure Control Status Registers Configured integration and gain parameters are reported to the user by means of status registers. The sensor provides two levels of reporting: the status registers reported in the AEC address space are updated once the parameters are recalculated and requested to the internal sequencer. The status registers residing in the sequencer's address space on the other hand are updated once these parameters are taking effect on the image readout. The first set shall thus lead the second set of status registers. Table 26. MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM EXPOSURE CONTROL PARAMETERS Name max_exposure AEC Update Frequency As an integration time update has a latency of one frame, the exposure control parameters are evaluated and updated every other frame. NOTE: The gain update latency must be postpone to match the integration time latency. This is done by asserting the gain_lat_comp register on address 204[13]. AEC Control Range The control range for each of the exposure parameters can be pre-programmed in the sensor. Note that for rolling shutter operation the maximum integration time should not exceed the number of lines read out (i.e. the sum of black lines, active window-defined lines and dummy lines).

Temperature Sensor The VITA 2000 has an on-chip temperature sensor which can output a digital code (Tsensor) of the silicon junction temperature. The Tsensor output is a 8-bit digital count between 0 and 255, proportional to the temperature of the silicon substrate. This reading can be translated directly to a temperature reading in C by calibrating the 8-bit readout at 0C and 70C to achieve an output accuracy of 2C. The Tsensor output can also be calibrated using a single temperature point (example: room temperature or the ambient temperature of the application), to achieve an output accuracy of 5C. The resolution of the temperature sensor in C / bit is made almost constant over process variations by design. Therefore any process variation will result in an offset in the bit count and this offset will remain within 5C over the temperature range of 0C and 70C. Tsensor output digital code can be read out through the SPI interface. Refer to the Register Map on page 50. The output of the temperature sensor to the SPI: tempd_reg_temp<7:0>: This is the 8-bit N count readout proportional to temperature. The input from the SPI: The reg_tempd_enable is a global enable and this enables or disables the temperature sensor when logic high or logic low respectively. The temperature sensor is reset or disabled when the input reg_tempd_enable is set to a digital low state.

The readout of a frame occurs on a line-by-line basis. The read pointer goes from left to right, bottom to top. Figure 29 indicates that, after the FOT is completed, the sensor reads out a number of black lines for black calibration purposes. After these black lines, the windows are processed. First a number of lines which only includes information of `ROI 0' are sent out, starting at position y0_start. When the line at position y1_start is reached, a number of lines containing data of `ROI 0' and `ROI 1' are sent out, until the line position of y0_end is reached. From there on, only data of `ROI 1' appears on the data output channels until line position y1_end is reached. During read out of the image data over the data channels, the sync channel sends out frame synchronization codes which give information related to the image data that is sent over the four data output channels. Each line of a window starts with a Line Start (LS) indication and ends with a Line End (LE) indication. The line start of the first line is replaced by a Frame Start (FS); the line end of the last line is replaced with a Frame End indication (FE). Each such frame synchronization code is followed by a window ID (range 0 to 7). For overlapping windows, the line synchronization codes of the overlapping windows with lower IDs are not sent out (as shown in the illustration: no LE/FE is transmitted for the overlapping part of window 0). NOTE: In Figure 29, only Frame Start and Frame End Sync words are indicated in (b). CRC codes are also omitted from the figure. * V1-SN/SE: Four LVDS output channels, together with * an LVDS clock output and an LVDS synchronization output channel. V2-SN/SE: A 10-bit parallel CMOS output, together with a CMOS clock output and `frame valid' and `line valid' CMOS output signals. V1-SN/SE: LVDS Interface Version LVDS Output Channels The image data output occurs through four LVDS data channels. A synchronization LVDS channel and an LVDS output clock signal is foreseen to synchronize the data. The four data channels are used to output the image data only. The sync channel transmits information about the data sent over these data channels (includes codes indicating black pixels, normal pixels, and CRC codes). 8-bit / 10-bit Mode The sensor can be used in 8-bit or 10-bit mode. In 10-bit mode, the words on data and sync channel have a 10-bit length. The output data rate is 620 Mbps. In 8-bit mode, the words on data and sync channel have an 8-bit length, the output data rate is 496 Mbps. Note that the 8-bit mode can only be used to limit the data rate at the consequence of image data word depth. It is not supported to operate the sensor in 8-bit mode at a higher clock frequency to achieve higher frame rates. www.onsemi.com 41 NOIV1SN2000A, NOIV2SN2000A y1_end ROI 1 y0_end y1_start ROI 0 y0_start x0_start x0_end x1_start x1_end (a) Integration Time Handling Readout Handling FOT E E B L Reset N Exposure Time N FOT Readout Frame N-1 ROI 1 ROI 0 FS0 FS1 FOT FE1 Reset N+1 E E Exposure Time N+1 FOT Readout Frame N B L ROI 1 ROI 0 FS0 FS1 FOT FE1 (b) Figure 29.

The value is programmable by a register setting www.onsemi.com 43 NOIV1SN2000A, NOIV2SN2000A * Window Identification * Data Classification Codes Frame synchronization codes are always followed by a 3-bit window identification (bits 2:0). This is an integer number, ranging from 0 to 7, indicating the active window. If more than one window is active for the current cycle, the highest window ID is transmitted. For the remaining cycles, the sync channel indicates the type of data sent through the data links: black pixel data (BL), image data (IMG), or training pattern (TR). These codes are programmable by a register setting. The default values are listed in Table 31. Table 30.

Table 32 shows the structure of the frame synchronization code, together with the default value, as specified in SPI registers. The same restriction for overlapping windows applies in 8-bit mode. Frame Synchronization in 8-bit Mode The frame synchronization words are configured using the same registers as in 10-bit mode. The two least significant bits of these configuration registers are ignored Table 31.

The value is programmable by a register setting. * Window Identification * Data Classification Codes Similar to 10-bit operation mode, the frame synchronization codes are followed by a window identification. The window ID is located in bits 4:2 (all other bit positions are `0'). The same restriction for overlapping windows applies in 8-bit mode. BL, IMG, CRC, and TR codes are defined by the same registers as in 10-bit mode. Bits 9:2 of the respective configuration registers are used as classification code with default values shown in Table 33. Table 32.

Training Patterns on Data Channels In 10-bit mode, during idle periods, the data channels transmit training patterns, indicated on the sync channel by a TR code. These training patterns are configurable independent of the training code on the sync channel as shown in Table 34. Table 33. TRAINING CODE ON SYNC CHANNEL IN 10-BIT MODE Sync Word Bit Position Register Address Default Value [9:0] 130 [9:0] 0x3A6 Description Data channel training pattern. The data output channels send out the training pattern, which can be programmed by a register setting. The default value of the training pattern is 0x3A6, which is identical to the training pattern indication code on the sync channel. Table 34. TRAINING PATTERN ON DATA CHANNEL IN 8-BIT MODE Data Word Bit Position Register Address Default Value [7:0] 130 [9:2] 0xE9 Description Data Channel Training Pattern (Training pattern). Data Order To read out the image data through the output channels, the pixel array is organized in kernels. The kernel size is eight pixels in x-direction by one pixel in y-direction. Figure 33 indicates how the kernels are organized. The first kernel (kernel [0, 0]) is located in the bottom left corner. The data order of this image data on the data output channels depends on the subsampling mode. Cyclic Redundancy Code At the end of each line, a CRC code is calculated to allow error detection at the receiving end. Each data channel transmits a CRC code to protect the data words sent during the previous cycles. Idle and training patterns are not included in the calculation. The sync channel is not protected. A special character (CRC indication) is transmitted whenever the data channels send their respective CRC code. The polynomial in 10-bit operation mode is x10 + x9 + x6 + x3 + x2 + x + 1. The CRC encoder is seeded at the start of a new line and updated for every (valid) data word received. The CRC seed is configurable using the crc_seed register. When `0', the CRC is seeded by all-`0'; when `1' it is seeded with all-`1'. In 8-bit mode, the polynomial is x8 + x6 + x3 + x2 + 1. The CRC seed is configured by means of the crc_seed register. Note The CRC is calculated for every line. This implies that the CRC code can protect lines from multiple windows. kernel (239,1199) pixel array ROI kernel (x_start,y_start) kernel (0,0) 0 1 2 3 5 6 7 Figure 33.

For even positioned kernels, the kernels are read out ascending, while for odd positioned kernels the data order is reversed (descending). The image data is read out in kernels of eight pixels in x-direction by one pixel in y-direction.

V1-SN/SE: Data Output Order in Subsampling Mode on a Color Sensor V2-SN/SE: CMOS Interface Version The frame_valid indication is asserted at the start of a new frame and remains asserted until the last line of the frame is completely transmitted. The line_valid indication serves the following needs: * While the line_valid indication is asserted, the data channels contain valid pixel data. * The line valid communicates frame timing as it is asserted at the start of each line and it is de-asserted at the end of the line. Low periods indicate the idle time between lines (ROT). * The data channels transmit the calculated CRC code after each line. This can be detected as the data words right after the falling edge of the line valid. CMOS Output Signals The image data output occurs through a single 10-bit parallel CMOS data output, operating at 62 MSps. A CMOS clock output, `frame valid' and `line valid' signal is foreseen to synchronize the output data. No windowing information is sent out by the sensor. 8-bit/10-bit Mode The 8-bit mode is not supported when using the parallel CMOS output interface.

V2-SN/SE: Frame Format to Read Out Image Data Black Lines: Black pixel data is also sent through the data channels. To distinguish these pixels from the regular image data, it is possible to `mute' the frame and/or line valid indications for the black lines. Table 35. BLACK LINE FRAME_VALID AND LINE_VALID SETTINGS bl_frame_valid_enable bl_line_valid_enable 0x1 0x1 The black lines are handled similar to normal image lines. The frame valid indication is asserted before the first black line and the line valid indication is asserted for every valid (black) pixel. 0x1 0x0 The frame valid indication is asserted before the first black line, but the line valid indication is not asserted for the black lines. The line valid indication indicates the valid image pixels only. This mode is useful when one does not use the black pixels and when the frame valid indication needs to be asserted some time before the first image lines (for example, to precondition ISP pipelines). 0x0 0x1 In this mode, the black pixel data is clearly unambiguously indicated by the line valid indication, while the decoding of the real image data is simplified. 0x0 0x0 Black lines are not indicated and frame and line valid strobes remain de-asserted.

Conversion gain = q/C where q is the charge of an electron (1.602E 19 Coulomb) and C is the capacitance of the photodiode or sense node. CDS Correlated double sampling. This is a method for sampling a pixel where the pixel voltage after reset is sampled and subtracted from the voltage after exposure to light. CFA Color filter array. The materials deposited on top of pixels that selectively transmit color. DNL Differential non-linearity (for ADCs) DSNU Dark signal non-uniformity. This parameter characterizes the degree of non-uniformity in dark leakage currents, which can be a major source of fixed pattern noise. fill-factor A parameter that characterizes the optically active percentage of a pixel. In theory, it is the ratio of the actual QE of a pixel divided by the QE of a photodiode of equal area. In practice, it is never measured. INL Integral nonlinearity (for ADCs) IR Infrared. IR light has wavelengths in the approximate range 750 nm to 1 mm. Lux Photometric unit of luminance (at 550 nm, 1lux = 1 lumen/m2 = 1/683 W/m2) pixel noise Variation of pixel signals within a region of interest (ROI). The ROI typically is a rectangular portion of the pixel array and may be limited to a single color plane. photometric units Units for light measurement that take into account human physiology. PLS Parasitic light sensitivity. Parasitic discharge of sampled information in pixels that have storage nodes. PRNU Photo-response non-uniformity. This parameter characterizes the spread in response of pixels, which is a source of FPN under illumination. QE Quantum efficiency. This parameter characterizes the effectiveness of a pixel in capturing photons and converting them into electrons. It is photon wavelength and pixel color dependent. read noise Noise associated with all circuitry that measures and converts the voltage on a sense node or photodiode into an output signal. reset The process by which a pixel photodiode or sense node is cleared of electrons. "Soft" reset occurs when the reset transistor is operated below the threshold. "Hard" reset occurs when the reset transistor is operated above threshold. reset noise Noise due to variation in the reset level of a pixel. In 3T pixel designs, this noise has a component (in units of volts) proportionality constant depending on how the pixel is reset (such as hard and soft). In 4T pixel designs, reset noise can be removed with CDS. responsivity The standard measure of photodiode performance (regardless of whether it is in an imager or not). Units are typically A/W and are dependent on the incident light wavelength. Note that responsivity and sensitivity are used interchangeably in image sensor characterization literature so it is best to check the units. ROI Region of interest. The area within a pixel array chosen to characterize noise, signal, crosstalk, and so on. The ROI can be the entire array or a small subsection; it can be confined to a single color plane. sense node In 4T pixel designs, a capacitor used to convert charge into voltage. In 3T pixel designs it is the photodiode itself. sensitivity A measure of pixel performance that characterizes the rise of the photodiode or sense node signal in Volts upon illumination with light. Units are typically V/(W/m2)/sec and are dependent on the incident light wavelength. Sensitivity measurements are often taken with 550 nm incident light. At this wavelength, 1 683 lux is equal to 1 W/m2; the units of sensitivity are quoted in V/lux/sec. Note that responsivity and sensitivity are used interchangeably in image sensor characterization literature so it is best to check the units. spectral response The photon wavelength dependence of sensitivity or responsivity. SNR Signal-to-noise ratio. This number characterizes the ratio of the fundamental signal to the noise spectrum up to half the Nyquist frequency. temporal noise Noise that varies from frame to frame. In a video stream, temporal noise is visible as twinkling pixels. www.onsemi.com 76 NOIV1SN2000A, NOIV2SN2000A ON Semiconductor and are trademarks of Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC dba ON Semiconductor or its subsidiaries in the United States and/or other countries.
