H Pub. 4/15 EN 5 ©Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, 2015. AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor General Description General Description The ON Semiconductor AR0833 is a 1/3.2-inch BSI (back side illuminated) CMOS activepixel digital image sensor with a pixel array of 3264H x 2448V (3280H x 2464V including border pixels). It incorporates sophisticated on-chip camera functions such as mirroring, column and row skip modes, and context switching for zero shutter lag snapshot mode. It is programmable through a simple two-wire serial interface and has very low power consumption. The AR0833 digital image sensor features ON Semiconductor's breakthrough low-noise 1.4m pixel CMOS imaging technology that achieves near-CCD image quality (based on signal-to-noise ratio and low-light sensitivity) while maintaining the inherent size, cost, and integration advantages of CMOS. The AR0833 sensor can generate full resolution image at up to 30 frames per second (fps). An on-chip analog-to-digital converter (ADC) generates a 10-bit value for each pixel. Functional Overview In order to meet higher frame rates in AR0833 sensor, the architecture has been redesigned. The analog core has a column parallel architecture with 4 data paths. Digital block has been re-architected to have 4 data paths. The chip is targeted to meet SMIA 85 module size. As a result, the final die size is 6.86 mm x 6.44 mm (singulated) which would fit in the intended module with two-sided pad frame. Figure 1 shows the block diagram of the AR0833.

AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Functional Overview grate incident light. The exposure is controlled by varying the time interval between reset and readout. Once a row has been read, the data from the columns is sequenced through an analog signal chain (providing gain), and then through an ADC. The output from the ADC is a 10-bit value for each pixel in the array. The ADC output passes through a digital processing signal chain (which provides further data path corrections and applies digital gain). The pixel array contains optically active and light-shielded (“dark”) pixels. The dark pixels are used to provide data for on-chip offset-correction algorithms (“black level” control). The sensor contains a set of control and status registers that can be used to control many aspects of the sensor behavior including the frame size, exposure, and gain setting. These registers can be accessed through a two-wire serial interface. The output from the sensor is a Bayer pattern; alternate rows are a sequence of either green and red pixels or blue and green pixels. The offset and gain stages of the analog signal chain provide per-color control of the pixel data. A flash output signal is provided to allow an external xenon or LED light source to synchronize with the sensor exposure time. Additional I/O signals support the provision of an external mechanical shutter. Pixel Array The sensor core uses a Bayer color pattern, as shown in Figure 2. The even-numbered rows contain green and red pixels; odd-numbered rows contain blue and green pixels. Even-numbered columns contain red and green pixels; odd-numbered columns contain blue and green pixels. Figure 2: Pixel Color Pattern Detail (Top Right Corner) Column Readout Direction .. .

AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor System States System States The system states of the AR0833 are represented as a state diagram in Figure 4 and described in subsequent sections. The sensor's operation is broken down into three separate states: hardware standby, software standby, and streaming. The transition between these states might take a certain amount of clock cycles as outlined in Figure 4 and Figure 5 on page 13.

AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Sensor Initialization Sensor Initialization Power-on Sequence AR0833 has three voltage supplies divided into several domains. The three voltages are 1.2 V, 1.8 V, and 2.8 V. For proper operation of the chip, a power-up sequence is recommended as shown in Figure 5. The power sequence is governed by controlled vs controlling behavior of a power supply and the inrush current (i.e., current that exists when not all power supplies are present). Table 6: Inrush consideration XSHUTDOWN 1.2 V 1.8 V (VDDIO) 2.8V x Present Absent Absent Not supported x Absent Present Absent Supported x Absent Absent Present Supported x Present Present Absent Supported x Present Absent Present Not supported x Absent Present Present Supported 0 Present Present Present Powered down state 1 Present Present Present Powered up state Comment Since VDD_IO supply controls the XSHUTDOWN, it should be turned on first. The sequence of powering up the other two domains is not too critical. While turning on 2.8 V supply before 1.2 V supply shouldn't be an issue as shown in Table 1, it is still not recommended since the 2.8 V domain is controlled by 1.2 V signals. The dedicated 1.8 V domain is used only for OTPM read function, so can turn on along with 1.8 V supply. Due to the above considerations, the suggested power-on sequence is as shown in Figure 5 on page 13: AR0833_DS Rev. H Pub. 4/15 EN 12 ©Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, 2015.

AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Power Down Sequence Hard Standby and Hard Reset The hard standby state is reached by the assertion of the XSHUTDOWN pad (hard reset). Register values are not retained by this action, and will be returned to their default values once hard reset is completed. The minimum power consumption is achieved by the hard standby state. The details of the sequence are described below and shown in Figure 7. 1. Disable streaming if output is active by setting mode_select 0x301A[2] = 0. 2. The soft standby state is reached after the current row or frame, depending on configuration, has ended. 3. Assert XSHUTDOWN (active LOW) to reset the sensor. 4.

AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Two-Wire Serial Register Interface Two-Wire Serial Register Interface A two-wire serial interface bus enables read/write access to control and status registers within the AR0833. The two-wire serial interface is fully compatible with the I2C standard. The interface protocol uses a master/slave model in which a master controls one or more slave devices. The sensor acts as a slave device. The master generates a clock (SCLK) that is an input to the sensor and is used to synchronize transfers. Data is transferred between the master and the slave on a bidirectional signal (SDATA). SDATA is pulled up to VDD off-chip by a 1.5k resistor. Either the slave or master device can drive SDATA LOW—the interface protocol determines which device is allowed to drive SDATA at any given time. The protocols described in the two-wire serial interface specification allow the slave device to drive SCLK LOW; the AR0833 uses SCLK as an input only and therefore never drives it LOW. The electrical and timing specifications are further detailed on “Two-Wire Serial Register Interface” on page 57. Protocol Data transfers on the two-wire serial interface bus are performed by a sequence of lowlevel protocol elements: 1. a (repeated) start condition 2. a slave address/data direction byte 3. an (a no) acknowledge bit 4. a message byte 5. a stop condition The bus is idle when both SCLK and SDATA are HIGH. Control of the bus is initiated with a start condition, and the bus is released with a stop condition. Only the master can generate the start and stop conditions. Start Condition A start condition is defined as a HIGH-to-LOW transition on SDATA while SCLK is HIGH. At the end of a transfer, the master can generate a start condition without previously generating a stop condition; this is known as a “repeated start” or “restart” condition. Stop Condition A stop condition is defined as a LOW-to-HIGH transition on SDATA while SCLK is HIGH. Data Transfer Data is transferred serially, 8 bits at a time, with the MSB transmitted first. Each byte of data is followed by an acknowledge bit or a no-acknowledge bit. This data transfer mechanism is used for the slave address/data direction byte and for message bytes. One data bit is transferred during each SCLK clock period. SDATA can change when SCLK is LOW and must be stable while SCLK is HIGH. Slave Address/Data Direction Byte Bits [7:1] of this byte represent the device slave address and bit [0] indicates the data transfer direction. A “0” in bit [0] indicates a WRITE, and a “1” indicates a READ. The default slave addresses used by the AR0833 for the MIPI configured sensor are 0x6C AR0833_DS Rev. H Pub. 4/15 EN 17 ©Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, 2015. AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Two-Wire Serial Register Interface (write address) and 0x6D (read address) in accordance with the MIPI specification. Alternate slave addresses of 0x6E(write address) and 0x6F(read address) can be selected by enabling and asserting the SADDR signal through the GPI pad. The alternate slave addresses can also be programmed through R0x31FC. Message Byte Message bytes are used for sending register addresses and register write data to the slave device and for retrieving register read data. Acknowledge Bit Each 8-bit data transfer is followed by an acknowledge bit or a no-acknowledge bit in the SCLK clock period following the data transfer. The transmitter (which is the master when writing, or the slave when reading) releases SDATA. The receiver indicates an acknowledge bit by driving SDATA LOW. No-Acknowledge Bit The no-acknowledge bit is generated when the receiver does not drive SDATA LOW during the SCLK clock period following a data transfer. A no-acknowledge bit is used to terminate a read sequence. Typical Sequence A typical READ or WRITE sequence begins by the master generating a start condition on the bus. After the start condition, the master sends the 8-bit slave address/data direction byte. The last bit indicates whether the request is for a read or a write, where a “0” indicates a write and a “1” indicates a read. If the address matches the address of the slave device, the slave device acknowledges receipt of the address by generating an acknowledge bit on the bus. If the request was a WRITE, the master then transfers the 16-bit register address to which the WRITE should take place. This transfer takes place as two 8-bit sequences and the slave sends an acknowledge bit after each sequence to indicate that the byte has been received. The master then transfers the data as an 8-bit sequence; the slave sends an acknowledge bit at the end of the sequence. The master stops writing by generating a (re)start or stop condition. If the request was a READ, the master sends the 8-bit write slave address/data direction byte and 16-bit register address, the same way as with a WRITE request. The master then generates a (re)start condition and the 8-bit read slave address/data direction byte, and clocks out the register data, eight bits at a time. The master generates an acknowledge bit after each 8-bit transfer. The slave’s internal register address is automatically incremented after every 8 bits are transferred.

The master terminates the WRITE by generating a restart condition. The master then sends the 8-bit read slave address/data direction byte and clocks out one byte of register data. The master terminates the READ by generating a noacknowledge bit followed by a stop condition.

AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Registers Registers The AR0833 provides a 16-bit register address space accessed through a serial interface (“Two-Wire Serial Register Interface” on page 17). Each register location is 8 or 16 bits in size. The address space is divided into the five major regions shown in Table 9. The remainder of this section describes these registers in detail. Table 9: Address Space Regions Address Range Description 0x0000–0x0FFF 0x1000–0x1FFF 0x2000–0x2FFF 0x3000–0x3FFF Configuration registers (read-only and read-write dynamic registers) Parameter limit registers (read-only static registers) Image statistics registers (none currently defined) Manufacturer-specific registers (read-only and read-write dynamic registers) Register Notation The underlying mechanism for reading and writing registers provides byte write capability. However, it is convenient to consider some registers as multiple adjacent bytes. The AR0833 uses 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit registers, all implemented as 1 or more bytes at naturally aligned, contiguous locations in the address space. In this document, registers are described either by address or by name. When registers are described by address, the size of the registers is explicit. For example, R0x3024 is a 2-bit register at address 0x3024, and R0x3000–1 is a 16-bit register at address 0x3000– 0x3001. When registers are described by name, the size of the register is implicit. It is necessary to refer to the register table to determine that model_id is a 16-bit register. Register Aliases A consequence of the internal architecture of the AR0833 is that some registers are decoded at multiple addresses. Some registers in “configuration space” are also decoded in “manufacturer-specific space.” To provide unique names for all registers, the name of the register within manufacturer-specific register space has a trailing underscore. For example, R0x0202 is coarse_integration_time and R0x3012 is coarse_integration_time_. The effect of reading or writing a register through any of its aliases is identical. Bit Fields Some registers provide control of several different pieces of related functionality, and this makes it necessary to refer to bit fields within registers. As an example of the notation used for this, the least significant 4 bits of the chip_version_reg register are referred to as chip_version_reg[3:0] or R0x0000–1[3:0]. Bit Field Aliases In addition to the register aliases described above, some register fields are aliased in multiple places. For example, R0x0100 (mode_select) has only one operational bit, R0x0100[0]. This bit is aliased to R0x301A–B[2]. The effect of reading or writing a bit field through any of its aliases is identical. AR0833_DS Rev. H Pub. 4/15 EN 22 ©Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, 2015. AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Registers Byte Ordering Registers that occupy more than one byte of address space are shown with the lowest address in the highest-order byte lane to match the byte-ordering on the data bus. For example, the chip_version_reg register is R0x0000–1. In the register table the default value is shown as 0x4B00. This means that a read from address 0x0000 would return 0x4B, and a read from address 0x0001 would return 0x00. When reading this register as two 8-bit transfers on the serial interface, the 0x4B will appear on the serial interface first, followed by the 0x00. Address Alignment All register addresses are aligned naturally. Registers that occupy 2 bytes of address space are aligned to even 16-bit addresses, and registers that occupy 4 bytes of address space are aligned to 16-bit addresses that are an integer multiple of 4. Bit Representation For clarity, 32-bit hex numbers are shown with an underscore between the upper and lower 16 bits. For example: 0x3000_01AB. Data Format Most registers represent an unsigned binary value or set of bit fields. For all other register formats, the format is stated explicitly at the start of the register description. The notation for these formats is shown in Table 10. Table 10: Data Formats Name Description FIX16 Signed fixed-point, 16-bit number: two’s complement number, 8 fractional bits. Examples: 0x0100 = 1.0, 0x8000 = –128, 0xFFFF = –0.0039065 Unsigned fixed-point, 16-bit number: 8.8 format. Examples: 0x0100 = 1.0, 0x280 = 2.5 Signed floating-point, 32-bit number: IEEE 754 format. Example: 0x4280_0000 = 64.0 UFIX16 FLP32 Register Behavior Registers vary from “read-only,” “read/write,” and “read, write-1-to-clear.” Double-Buffered Registers Some sensor settings cannot be changed during frame readout. For example, changing R0x3004–5 (x_addr_start) partway through frame readout would result in inconsistent row lengths within a frame. To avoid this, the AR0833 double-buffers many registers by implementing a “pending” and a “live” version. Reads and writes access the pending register. The live register controls the sensor operation. The value in the pending register is transferred to a live register at a fixed point in the frame timing, called frame start. Frame start is defined as the point at which the first dark row is read out internally to the sensor. In the register tables the “Frame Sync’d” column shows which registers or register fields are double-buffered in this way. AR0833_DS Rev. H Pub. 4/15 EN 23 ©Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, 2015. AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Registers Using grouped_parameter_hold Register grouped_parameter_hold (R0x301A[15]) can be used to inhibit transfers from the pending to the live registers. When the AR0833 is in streaming mode, this register should be written to “1” before making changes to any group of registers where a set of changes is required to take effect simultaneously. When this register is written to “0,” all transfers from pending to live registers take place on the next frame start. An example of the consequences of failing to set this bit follows: An external auto exposure algorithm might want to change both gain and integration time between two frames. If the next frame starts between these operations, it will have the new gain, but not the new integration time, which would return a frame with the wrong brightness that might lead to a feedback loop with the AE algorithm resulting in flickering. Bad Frames A bad frame is a frame where all rows do not have the same integration time or where offsets to the pixel values have changed during the frame. Many changes to the sensor register settings can cause a bad frame. For example, when line_length_pck (R0x300C) is changed, the new register value does not affect sensor behavior until the next frame start. However, the frame that would be read out at that frame start will have been integrated using the old row width, so reading it out using the new row width would result in a frame with an incorrect integration time. By default, bad frames are masked. If the masked bad frame option is enabled, both LV and FV are inhibited for these frames so that the vertical blanking time between frames is extended by the frame time. In the register tables, the “Bad Frame” column shows where changing a register or register field will cause a bad frame. This notation is used: N—No. Changing the register value will not produce a bad frame. Y—Yes. Changing the register value might produce a bad frame. YM—Yes; but the bad frame will be masked out when mask_corrupted_frames (R0x301A[9]) is set to “1.” Changes to Integration Time If the integration time is changed while FV is asserted for frame n, the first frame output using the new integration time is frame (n + 2). The sequence is as follows: 1. During frame n, the new integration time is held in the pending register. 2. At the start of frame (n + 1), the new integration time is transferred to the live register. Integration for each row of frame (n + 1) has been completed using the old integration time. 3. The earliest time that a row can start integrating using the new integration time is immediately after that row has been read for frame (n + 1). The actual time that rows start integrating using the new integration time is dependent upon the new value of the integration time. 4. When frame (n + 2) is read out, it will have been integrated using the new integration time. If the integration time is changed on successive frames, each value written will be applied for a single frame; the latency between writing a value and it affecting the frame readout remains at two frames. AR0833_DS Rev. H Pub. 4/15 EN 24 ©Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, 2015. AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Registers Changes to Gain Settings Usually, when the gain settings are changed, the gain is updated on the next frame start. When the integration time and the gain are changed at the same time, the gain update is held off by one frame so that the first frame output with the new integration time also has the new gain applied. In this case, a new gain should not be set during the extra frame delay. There is an option to turn off the extra frame delay by setting extra_delay (R0x3018). AR0833_DS Rev. H Pub. 4/15 EN 25 ©Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, 2015. AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Clocking Clocking Default setup gives a physical 73.2 MHz internal clock for an external input clock of 24 MHz. The sensor contains a phase-locked loop (PLL) for timing generation and control. The PLL contains a prescaler to divide the input clock applied on EXTCLK, a VCO to multiply the prescaler output, and a set of dividers to generate the output clocks. The PLL structure is shown in Figure 15. Figure 15: Clocking Configuration row_speed (R0x3016[2:0]) PLL vt_pix_clk_div (R0x300) clk _ pixel Divider vt_sys_clk_div (R0x302) PLL input clock pll _ ip _ clk _ freq External input clock ext _ clk _ freq _mhz EXTCLK vt pix PLL internal VCO frequency vt_ pix _clk clk Divider vt sys clk Divider PLL Pre PLL Divider (n +1) clk _ pixel vt_ sys _clk Multiplier (m) op sys clk op _ sys_clk Divider pre_pll_clk_div (R0x304) op pix pll _multiplier(R0x306) op_sys_clk_div (R0x30A) op _ pix _clk clk Divider clk _op Divider clk _op op_pix_clk_div (R0x308) row_speed(R0x3016[10:8]) Figure 15 shows the different clocks and the names of the registers that contain or are used to control their values. The vt_pix_clk is divided by two to compensate for the fact that the design has 2 digital data paths. This divider should always remain turned on. AR0833 has 10-to-8 and 10-to-6 compression. The Framer IP packs two 6-bit pixels into one 12-bit data and sends it to Physical Layer. The Framer takes the action to divide word clock into half speed. The word clock should be divided by 6 from VCO at PLL in order to match Physical Layer considering one data having 12 bit-clocks. The usage of the output clocks is shown below: • clk_pixel (vt_pix_clk / row_speed[2:0]) is used by the sensor core to readout and control the timing of the pixel array. The sensor core produces one 10-bit pixel each vt_pix_clk period. The line length (line_length_pck) is controlled in increments of the clk_pixel period. • clk_op (op_pix_clk / row_speed[10:8]) is used to load parallel pixel data from the output FIFO (see Figure 40 on page 52) to the serializer. The output FIFO generates one pixel each op_pix_clk period. • op_sys_clk is used to generate the serial data stream on the output. The relationship between this clock frequency and the op_pix_clk frequency is dependent upon the output data format. AR0833_DS Rev. H Pub. 4/15 EN 26 ©Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, 2015.

After programming the divisors, it is necessary to wait for the VCO lock time before enabling the PLL. The PLL is enabled by entering the streaming state. An external timer will need to delay the entrance of the streaming mode by 1 millisecond so that the PLL can lock. The effect of programming the PLL divisors while the AR0833 is in the streaming state is undefined. Clock Control The AR0833 uses an aggressive clock-gating methodology to reduce power consumption. The clocked logic is divided into a number of separate domains, each of which is only clocked when required. When the AR0833 enters a soft standby state, almost all of the internal clocks are stopped. The only exception is that a small amount of logic is clocked so that the twowire serial interface continues to respond to read and write requests. AR0833_DS Rev.

AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Features Features Interlaced HDR Readout The sensor enables HDR by outputting frames where even and odd row pairs within a single frame are captured at different integration times. This output is then matched with an algorithm designed to reconstruct this output into an HDR still image or video. The sensor HDR is controlled by two shutter pointers (Shutter pointer1, Shutter pointer2) that control the integration of the odd (Shutter pointer1) and even (Shutter pointer 2) row pairs.

AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Integration Time for Interlaced HDR Readout Integration Time for Interlaced HDR Readout Tint1 (integration time 1) and Tint2 (integration time 2) The limits for the coarse integration time are defined by: coarse_integration_time_min coarse_integration_time frame_length_lines – coarse_integration_time_max_margin (EQ 4) coarse_integration_time2_min coarse_integration_time2 frame_length_lines – coarse_integration_time2_max_margin (EQ 5) The actual integration time is given by: coarse_integration_time line_length_pck - integration_time = ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------6 vt_pix_clk_freq_mhz 10 (EQ 6) coarse_integration_time2 line_length_pck - integration_time2 = -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------6 vt_pix_clk_freq_mhz 10 (EQ 7) If this limit is broken, the frame time will automatically be extended to (coarse_integration_time + coarse_integration_time_max_margin) to accommodate the larger integration time. The ratio between even and odd rows is typically adjusted to 1x, 2x, 4x, and 8x. AR0833_DS Rev. H Pub. 4/15 EN 29 ©Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, 2015. AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Integration Time for Interlaced HDR Readout Bayer Resampler The imaging artifacts found from a 2x2 binning or summing will show image artifacts from aliasing. These can be corrected by resampling the sampled pixels in order to filter these artifacts. Figure 17 shows the pixel location resulting from 2x2 summing or binning located in the middle and the resulting pixel locations after the Bayer resampling function has been applied. Figure 17: Bayer Resampling The improvements from using the Bayer resampling feature can be seen in Figure 18. In this example, image edges seen on a diagonal have smoother edges when the Bayer resampling feature is applied. This feature is only designed to be used with modes configured with 2x2 binning or summing. The feature will not remove aliasing artifacts that are caused skipping pixels.

AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Integration Time for Interlaced HDR Readout One-Time Programmable Memory (OTPM) The AR0833 features 5.6Kb of one-time programmable memory (OTPM) for storing shading correction coefficients, individual module, and customer-specific information. The user may program the data before shipping. OTPM can be accessed through twowire serial interface. The AR0833 uses the auto mode for fast OTPM programming and read operations. To read out the OTPM, 1.8V supply is required. As a result, a dedicated DVDD_1V8 pad has been implemented.During the programming process, a dedicated pin for high voltage needs to be provided to perform the anti-fusing operation. This voltage (VPP) would need to be 6.5V. The completion of the programming process will be communicated by a register through the two-wire serial interface. If the VPP pin does not need to be bonded out as a pin on the module, it should be left floating inside the module. The programming of the OTPM requires the sensor to be fully powered and remain in software standby with its clock input applied. The information will be programmed through the use of the two-wire serial interface, and once the data is written to an internal register, the programming host machine will apply a high voltage to the programming pin, and send a program command to initiate the anti-fusing process. After the sensor has finished programming the OTPM, a status bit will be set to indicate the end of the programming cycle, and the host machine can poll the setting of the status bit through the two-wire serial interface. Only one programming cycle for the 16bit word can be performed. Reading the OTPM data requires the sensor to be fully powered and operational with its clock input applied. The data can be read through a register from the two-wire serial interface. Programming and Verifying the OTPM The procedure for programming and verifying the AR0833 OTPM follows: 1. Apply power to all the power rails of the sensor (VDD_IO, VAA, VAA_PIX, DVDD_1V2, DVDD_1V2_PHY, and DVDD_1V8). VAA must be set to 2.8V during the programming process. VPP must be initially floating. All other supplies must be at their nominal voltage. 2. Provide a 12-MHz EXTCLK clock input. 3. Set R0x301A = 0x18, to put sensor in the soft standby mode. 4. Set R0x3130 = 0xFF01 (Timing configuration) 5. Set R0x304C[15:8] = Record type (E.g. 0x30) 6. Set R0x304C[7:0] = Length of the record which is the number of OTPM data registers that are filled in. 7. Set R0x3054[9] = 0 to ensure that the error checking and correction is enabled. 8. Write data into all the OTPM data registers: R0x3800-R0x39FE. 9. Ramp up VPP to 6.5V. 10. Set the otpm_control_auto_wr_start bit in the otpm_control register R0x304A[0] = 1, to initiate the auto program sequence. The sensor will now program the data into the OTPM. 11. Poll otpm_control_auto_wr_end (R0x304A [1]) to determine when the sensor is finished programming the word. 12. Verify that the otpm_control_auto_wr_success(0x304A[2]) bit is set. AR0833_DS Rev. H Pub. 4/15 EN 31 ©Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, 2015. AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Integration Time for Interlaced HDR Readout 13. If the above bits are not set to 1, then examine otpm_status register R0x304E[9] to verify if the OTPM memory is full and 0x304E[10] to verify if OTPM memory is insufficient. 14. Remove the high voltage (VPP) and float VPP pin. Reading the OTPM 1. Apply power to all the power rails of the sensor (VDD_IO, VAA, VAA_PIX, DVDD_1V2, DVDD_1V2_PHY, and DVDD_1V8) at their nominal voltage. 2. Set EXTCLK to normal operating frequency. 3. Perform proper reset sequence to the sensor. 4. Set R0x3134=0xCD95 (Timing Configuration) 5. Set R0x304C[15:8] = Record Type (for example, 0x30) 6. Set R0x304C[7:0] = Length of the record which is the number of data registers to be read back. This could be set to 0 during OTPM auto read if length is unknown. 7. Set R0x3054 = 0x0400 8. Initiate the auto read sequence by setting the otpm_control_auto_read_start bit (R0x304A[4]) = 1. 9. Poll the otpm_control_auto_rd_end bit (R0x304A[5]) to determine when the sensor is finished reading the word(s). When this bit becomes 1, the otpm_control_auto_rd_success bit (R0x304A[6]) will indicate whether the memory was read successfully or not. 10. Data can now be read back from the otpm_data registers (R0x3800-R0x39FE). Image Acquisition Modes The AR0833 supports two image acquisition modes: 1. Electronic rolling shutter (ERS) mode. This is the normal mode of operation. When the AR0833 is streaming, it generates frames at a fixed rate, and each frame is integrated (exposed) using the ERS. When the ERS is in use, timing and control logic within the sensor sequences through the rows of the array, resetting and then reading each row in turn. In the time interval between resetting a row and subsequently reading that row, the pixels in the row integrate incident light. The integration (exposure) time is controlled by varying the time between row reset and row readout. For each row in a frame, the time between row reset and row readout is fixed, leading to a uniform integration time across the frame. When the integration time is changed (by using the two-wire serial interface to change register settings), the timing and control logic controls the transition from old to new integration time in such a way that the stream of output frames from the AR0833 switches cleanly from the old integration time to the new while only generating frames with uniform integration. See “Changes to Integration Time” on page 24. 2. Global reset release (GRR) mode. This mode can be used to acquire a single image at the current resolution. In this mode, the end point of the pixel integration time is controlled by an external electromechanical shutter, and the AR0833 provides control signals to interface to that shutter. The operation of this mode is described in detail in “Global Reset Release (GRR)” on page 46. The benefit for the use of an external electromechanical shutter is that it eliminates the visual artifacts associated with ERS operation. Visual artifacts arise in ERS operation, particularly at low frame rates, because an ERS image effectively integrates each row of the pixel array at a different point in time. AR0833_DS Rev. H Pub. 4/15 EN 32 ©Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, 2015. AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Integration Time for Interlaced HDR Readout Window Control The sequencing of the pixel array is controlled by the x_addr_start, y_addr_start, x_addr_end, and y_addr_end registers. The output image size is controlled by the x_output_size and y_output_size registers. Pixel Border The default settings of the sensor provide a 3264H x 2448V image. A border of up to 8 pixels (4 in binning) on each edge can be enabled by reprogramming the x_addr_start, y_addr_start, x_addr_end, y_addr_end, x_output_size, and y_output_size registers accordingly. These border pixels can be used but are disabled by default. Readout Modes Horizontal Mirror The horizontal_mirror bit in the image_orientation register is set by default. The result of this is that the order of pixel readout within a row is reversed, so that readout starts from x_addr_end and ends at x_addr_start. Figure 20 on page 33 shows a sequence of 6 pixels being read out with horizontal_mirror = 0 and horizontal_mirror = 1.

AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Integration Time for Interlaced HDR Readout Subsampling The AR0833 supports subsampling to reduce the amount of data processed by the signal chains in the AR0833, thereby allowing the frame rate to be increased and power consumption reduced. Subsampling is enabled by setting x_odd_inc and/or y_odd_inc. Values of 1, 3, and 7 can be supported. Setting both of these variables to 3 reduces the amount of row and column data processed and is equivalent to the 2 x 2 skipping readout mode provided by the AR0833. Setting x_odd_inc = 3 and y_odd_inc = 3 results in a quarter reduction in output image size. Figure 22 on page 34 shows a sequence of 8 columns being read out with x_odd_inc = 3 and y_odd_inc = 1.

AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Integration Time for Interlaced HDR Readout Programming Restrictions when Subsampling When subsampling is enabled and the sensor is switched back and forth between full resolution and subsampling, ON Semiconductor recommends that line_length_pck be kept constant between the two modes. This allows the same integration times to be used in each mode. When subsampling is enabled, it may be necessary to adjust the x_addr_start, x_addr_end, y_addr_start, and y_addr_end settings: the values for these registers are required to correspond with rows/columns that form part of the subsampling sequence. The adjustment should be made in accordance with these rules: x_skip_factor = (x_odd_inc + 1) / 2 y_skip_factor = (y_odd_inc + 1) / 2 • x_addr_start should be a multiple of x_skip_factor * 4 • (x_addr_end - x_addr_start + x_odd_inc) should be a multiple of x_skip_factor * 4 • (y_addr_end - y_addr_start + y_odd_inc) should be a multiple of y_skip_factor * 4 The number of columns/rows read out with subsampling can be found from the equation below: • columns/rows = (addr_end - addr_start + odd_inc) / skip_factor Table 11 shows the row or column address sequencing for normal and subsampled readout. In the 2X skip case, there are two possible subsampling sequences (because the subsampling sequence only reads half of the pixels) depending upon the alignment of the start address. Similarly, there will be four possible subsampling sequences in the 4X skip case (though only the first two are shown in Table 11). Table 11: Row Address Sequencing During Subsampling AR0833_DS Rev.

AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Integration Time for Interlaced HDR Readout Binning The AR0833 supports 2 x 1 (column binning, also called x-binning). Binning has many of the same characteristics as skipping, but because it gathers image data from all pixels in the active window (rather than a subset of them), it achieves superior image quality and avoids the aliasing artifacts that can be a characteristic side effect of skipping. Binning is enabled by selecting the appropriate subsampling settings (in read_mode, the sub-register x_odd_inc = 3 and y_odd_inc = 1 for x-binning and setting the appropriate binning bit in read_mode R0x3040[11] = 1 for x_bin_enable). As with skipping, x_addr_end and y_addr_end may require adjustment when binning is enabled. It is the first of the two columns/rows binned together that should be the end column/row in binning, so the requirements to the end address are exactly the same as in skipping mode. The effect of the different binning is shown in Figure 27 below and Figure 28 on page 39. Binning can also be enabled when the 4X subsampling mode is enabled (x_odd_inc = 7 and y_odd_inc = 1 for x-binning, x_odd_inc = 7 and y_odd_inc = 7 for 4X xy-binning). In this mode, however, not all pixels will be used so this is not a 4X binning implementation. An implementation providing a combination of skip2 and bin2 is used to achieve 4X subsampling with better image quality. The effect of this subsampling mode is shown in Figure 28 on page 39.

For a given column n, there is only one other column, n_bin, that can be binned with, because of physical limitations in the column readout circuitry. The possible address sequences are shown in Table 12. Table 12: Column Address Sequencing During Binning odd_inc = 1 (Normal) odd_inc = 3 (2X Bin) odd_inc = 7 (2X Skip + 2XBin) x_addr_start = 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 x_addr_start = 0 0/2 1/3 x_addr_start = 0 0/4 1/5 4/6 5/7 8/10 9/11 8/12 9/13 12/14 13/15 There are no physical limitations on what can be binned together in the row direction. A given row n will always be binned with row n+2 in 2X subsampling mode and with row n+4 in 4X subsampling mode. Therefore, which rows get binned together depends upon the alignment of y_addr_start.

AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Integration Time for Interlaced HDR Readout Programming Restrictions When Binning and Summing Binning and summing require different sequencing of the pixel array and impose different timing limits on the operation of the sensor. As a result, when xy-subsampling is enabled, some of the programming limits declared in the parameter limit registers are no longer valid. In addition, the default values for some of the manufacturer-specific registers need to be reprogrammed. See “Minimum Frame Time” and "Minimum Row Time" on page 43. Subsampling / binning options: 1.

AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Integration Time for Interlaced HDR Readout Scaler Scaling reduces the size of the output image while maintaining the same field-of-view. The input and output of the scaler is in Bayer format. When compared to skipping, scaling is advantageous as it avoids aliasing. The scaling factor, programmable in 1/16 steps, is used for horizontal and vertical scalers. The AR0833 sensor is capable of horizontal scaling and full (horizontal and vertical) scaling. The scale factor is determined by: • n, which is fixed at 16 • m, which is adjustable with register R0x0404 • Legal values for m are 16 through 96, giving the user the ability to scale from 1:1 (m=16) to 1:6 (m=96). Frame Rate Control The formulas for calculating the frame rate of the AR0833 are shown below. The line length is programmed directly in pixel clock periods through register line_length_pck. For a specific window size, the minimum line length can be found from Equation 8: x_addr_end - x_addr_start + 1 minimum line_length_pck = ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- + min_line_blanking_pck subsampling factor (EQ 8) Note that line_length_pck also needs to meet the minimum line length requirement set in register min_line_length_pck. The row time can either be limited by the time it takes to sample and reset the pixel array for each row, or by the time it takes to sample and read out a row. Values for min_line_blanking_pck are provided in “Minimum Row Time” on page 43. The frame length is programmed directly in number of lines in the register frame_line_length. For a specific window size, the minimum frame length can be found in Equation 9: y_addr_end - y_addr_start + 1 minimum frame_length_lines = ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- + min_frame_blanking_lines (EQ 9) subsampling factor The frame rate can be calculated from these variables and the pixel clock speed as shown in Equation 10: vt_pixel_clock_mhz x 1 x 10 6 frame rate = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------line_length_pck_x frame_length_lines (EQ 10) If coarse_integration_time is set larger than frame_length_lines the frame size will be expanded to coarse_integration_time + 1. Minimum Row Time Enough time must be given to the output FIFO so it can output all data at the set frequency within one row time. There are therefore two checks that must all be met when programming line_length_pck: AR0833_DS Rev. H Pub. 4/15 EN 43 ©Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, 2015. AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Integration Time for Interlaced HDR Readout • line_length_pck > min_line_length_pck in Table 15. • The row time must allow the FIFO to output all data during each row. That is, line_length_pck > (x_output_size * 2 + 0x005E) * “vt_pix_clk period” / “op_pix_clk period” Minimum Frame Time The minimum number of rows in the image is 1, so min_frame_length_lines will always equal (min_frame_blanking_lines + 1). Table 15: Minimum Frame Time and Blanking Numbers min_frame_blanking_lines min_frame_length_lines 0x008F 0x0A1F Integration Time The integration (exposure) time of the AR0833 is controlled by the coarse_integration_time register. The limits for the coarse integration time are defined by: coarse_integration_time_min < coarse_integration_time (EQ 11) The actual integration time is given by: coarse_integration_time * line_length_pck integration_time = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- vt_pix_clk_freq_mhz*10 6 (EQ 12) It is required that: coarse_integration_time (frame_length_lines – coarse_integration_time_max_margin) (EQ 13) If this limit is broken, the frame time will automatically be extended to (coarse_integration_time + coarse_integartion_time_max_margin) to accommodate the larger integration time. In binning mode, frame_length_lines should be set larger than coarse_integration_time by at least 3 to avoid column imbalance artifact. AR0833_DS Rev.

AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Integration Time for Interlaced HDR Readout Flash Timing Control The AR0833 supports both xenon and LED flash timing through the FLASH output signal. The timing of the FLASH signal with the default settings is shown in Figure 30 (xenon) and Figure 31 on page 45 (LED). The flash and flash_count registers allow the timing of the flash to be changed. The flash can be programmed to fire only once, delayed by a few frames when asserted, and (for xenon flash) the flash duration can be programmed. Enabling the LED flash will cause one bad frame, where several of the rows only have the flash on for part of their integration time. This can be avoided either by first enabling mask bad frames (R0x301A[9] = 1) before the enabling the flash or by forcing a restart (R0x301A[1] = 1) immediately after enabling the flash; the first bad frame will then be masked out, as shown in Figure 31. Read-only bit flash[14] is set during frames that are correctly integrated; the state of this bit is shown in Figures 30 and Figure 31.

AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Integration Time for Interlaced HDR Readout Global Reset Release (GRR) Global reset release mode allows the integration time of the AR0833 to be controlled by an external electromechanical shutter. GRR mode is generally used in conjunction with ERS mode. The ERS mode is used to provide viewfinder information, the sensor is switched into GRR mode to capture a single frame, and the sensor is then returned to ERS mode to restore viewfinder operation. Overview of Global Reset Release Sequence The basic elements of the GRR sequence are: 1. By default, the sensor operates in ERS mode and the SHUTTER output signal is LOW. The electromechanical shutter must be open to allow light to fall on the pixel array. Integration time is controlled by the coarse_integration_time register. 2. A global reset sequence is triggered. 3. All of the rows of the pixel array are placed in reset. 4. All of the rows of the pixel array are taken out of reset simultaneously. All rows start to integrate incident light. The electromechanical shutter may be open or closed at this time. 5. If the electromechanical shutter has been closed, it is opened. 6. After the desired integration time (controlled internally or externally to the AR0833), the electromechanical shutter is closed. 7. A single output frame is generated by the sensor with the usual LV, FV, PIXCLK, and DOUT timing. As soon as the output frame has completed (FV negates), the electromechanical shutter may be opened again. 8. The sensor automatically resumes operation in ERS mode. This sequence is shown in Figure 32. The following sections expand to show how the timing of this sequence is controlled. Figure 32: Overview of Global Reset Sequence ERS AR0833_DS Rev. H Pub. 4/15 EN Row Reset Integration 46 Readout ERS ©Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, 2015. AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Integration Time for Interlaced HDR Readout Entering and Leaving the Global Reset Sequence A global reset sequence can be triggered by a register write to R0x315E global_seq_trigger[0] (global trigger, to transition this bit from a 0 to a 1) or by a rising edge on a suitably-configured GPI input). When a global reset sequence is triggered, the sensor waits for the end of the current row. When LV negates for that row, FV is negated 6 PIXCLK periods later, potentially truncating the frame that was in progress. The global reset sequence completes with a frame readout. At the end of this readout phase, the sensor automatically resumes operation in ERS mode. The first frame integrated with ERS will be generated after a delay of approximately ((13 + coarse_integration_time) * line_length_pck). This sequence is shown in Figure 33. While operating in ERS mode, double-buffered registers (“Double-Buffered Registers” on page 23) are updated at the start of each frame in the usual way. During the global reset sequence, double-buffered registers are updated just before the start of the readout phase. Figure 33: Entering and Leaving a Global Reset Sequence Trigger Wait for end of current row ERS Row Reset Automatic at end of frame readout Integration Readout ERS Programmable Settings The registers global_rst_end and global_read_start allow the duration of the row reset phase and the integration phase to be controlled, as shown in Figure 34. The duration of the readout phase is determined by the active image size. The recommended setting for global_rst_end is 0x3160 (for example, 512 s total reset time) with default vt_pix_clk. This allows sufficient time for all rows of the pixel array to be set to the correct reset voltage level. The row reset phase takes a finite amount of time due to the capacitance of the pixel array and the capability of the internal voltage booster circuit that is used to generate the reset voltage level. As soon as the global_rst_end count has expired, all rows in the pixel array are taken out of reset simultaneously and the pixel array begins to integrate incident light.

AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Integration Time for Interlaced HDR Readout Control of the Electromechanical Shutter Figure 35 on page 48 shows two different ways in which a shutter can be controlled during the global reset sequence. In both cases, the maximum integration time is set by the difference between global_read_start and global_rst_end. In shutter example 1, the shutter is open during the initial ERS sequence and during the row reset phase. The shutter closes during the integration phase. The pixel array is integrating incident light from the start of the integration phase to the point at which the shutter closes. Finally, the shutter opens again after the end of the readout phase. In shutter example 2, the shutter is open during the initial ERS sequence and closes sometime during the row reset phase. The shutter both opens and closes during the integration phase. The pixel array is integrating incident light for the part of the integration phase during which the shutter is open. As for the previous example, the shutter opens again after the end of the readout phase. Figure 35: Control of the Electromechanical Shutter Trigger Wait for end of current row ERS Automatic at end of frame readout Row Reset Integration Readout ERS global_rst_end global_read_start maximum integration time actual integration time SHUTTER Example 1 shutter open (physical) SHUTTER Example 2 shutter open (physical) shutter closed shutter open shutter closed shutter open actual integration time closed shutter open It is essential that the shutter remains closed during the entire row readout phase (that is, until FV has negated for the frame readout); otherwise, some rows of data will be corrupted (over-integrated). It is essential that the shutter closes before the end of the integration phase. If the row readout phase is allowed to start before the shutter closes, each row in turn will be integrated for one row-time longer than the previous row. After FV negates to signal the completion of the readout phase, there is a time delay of approximately (10 * line_length_pck) before the sensor starts to integrate light-sensitive rows for the next ERS frame. It is essential that the shutter be opened at some point in this time window; otherwise, the first ERS frame will not be uniformly integrated. The AR0833 provides a SHUTTER output signal to control (or help the host system control) the electromechanical shutter. The timing of the SHUTTER output is shown in Figure 36 on page 49. SHUTTER is negated by default. The point at which it asserts is controlled by the programming of global_shutter_start. At the end of the global reset readout phase, SHUTTER negates approximately (2 * line_length_pck) after the negation of FV. AR0833_DS Rev. H Pub. 4/15 EN 48 ©Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, 2015. AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Integration Time for Interlaced HDR Readout This programming restriction must be met for correct operation: • global_read_start > global_shutter_start.

The FLASH output will assert a fixed number of cycles after the start of the integration phase and will remain asserted for a time that is controlled by the value of the flash_count register. When flash_count is programmed for value N, (where N is 0–0x3FE) the resulting flash duration is given by N * 512 * (1/vt_pix_clk_freq_mhz), as shown in Figure 37.

AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Integration Time for Interlaced HDR Readout When the flash_count = 0x3FF, the flash signal will be maximized and goes LOW when readout starts, as shown in Figure 38 on page 50. This would be preferred if the latency in closing the shutter is longer than the latency for turning off the flash. This guarantees that the flash stays on while the shutter is open. Figure 38: Extending FLASH Duration in Global Reset (Reference Readout Start) Trigger Automatic at end of frame readout Wait for end of current row ERS ROW RESET INTEGRATION READOUT ERS global_rst_end global_read_ start ~2*line_length_pck global_ shutter_start SHUTTER (fixed) FLASH External Control of Integration Time If global_seq_trigger[1] = 1 (global bulb enabled) when a global reset sequence is triggered, the end of the integration phase is controlled by the level of trigger (global_seq_trigger[0] or the associated GPI input). This allows the integration time to be controlled directly by an input to the sensor. This operation corresponds to the shutter “B” setting on a traditional camera, where “B” originally stood for “Bulb” (the shutter setting used for synchronization with a magnesium foil flash bulb) and was later considered to stand for “Brief” (an exposure that was longer than the shutter could automatically accommodate). When the trigger is de-asserted to end integration, the integration phase is extended by a further time given by global_read_start – global_shutter_start. Usually this means that global_read_start should be set to global_shutter_start + 1. The operation of this mode is shown in Figure 39 on page 51. The figure shows the global reset sequence being triggered by the GPI2 input, but it could be triggered by any of the GPI inputs or by the setting and subsequence clearing of the global_seq_trigger[0] under software control.

AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Integration Time for Interlaced HDR Readout global_read_start = 2 16 global_read_start2 7:0 + global_read_start1 15:0 global_shutter_start = 2 16 (EQ 15) global_shutter_start2 7:0 + global_shutter_start1 15:0 (EQ 16) The integration equation allows for 24-bit precision when calculating both the shutter and readout of the image. The global_rst_end has only 16-bit as the array reset function and requires a short amount of time. The integration time can also be scaled using global_scale. The variable can be set to 0–512, 1–2048, 2–128, and 3–32. These programming restrictions must be met for correct operation of bulb exposures: • global_read_start > global_shutter_start • global_shutter_start > global_rst_end • global_shutter_start must be smaller than the exposure time (that is, this counter must expire before the trigger is de-asserted) Figure 39: Global Reset Bulb Trigger Wait for end of current row ERS Row Reset Automatic at end of frame readout Integration global_rst_end Readout ERS global_read_start - global_shutter_start GPI2 Retriggering the Global Reset Sequence The trigger for the global reset sequence is edge-sensitive; the global reset sequence cannot be retriggered until the global trigger bit (in the R0x315E global_seq_trigger register) has been returned to “0,” and the GPI (if any) associated with the trigger function has been negated. The earliest time that the global reset sequence can be retriggered is the point at which the SHUTTER output negates; this occurs approximately (2 * line_length_pck) after the negation of FV for the global reset readout phase. Using Global Reset with SMIA Data Path When a global reset sequence is triggered, it usually results in the frame in progress being truncated (at the end of the current output line). The SMIA data path limiter function (see Figure 40 on page 52) attempts to extend (pad) all frames to the programmed value of y_output_size. If this padding is still in progress when the global reset readout phase starts, the SMIA data path will not detect the start of the frame correctly. Therefore, to use global reset with the serial data path, this timing scenario must be avoided. One possible way of doing this would be to synchronize (under software control) the assertion of trigger to an end-of-frame marker on the serial data stream. At the end of the readout phase of the global reset sequence, the sensor automatically resumes operation in ERS mode. AR0833_DS Rev. H Pub. 4/15 EN 51 ©Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, 2015. AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Integration Time for Interlaced HDR Readout Global Reset and Soft Standby If the R0x301A[2] mode_select[stream] bit is cleared while a global reset sequence is in progress, the AR0833 will remain in streaming state until the global reset sequence (including frame readout) has completed, as shown in Figure 40 on page 52. Figure 40: Entering Soft Standby During a Global Reset Sequence ERS Row Reset Integration Readout ERS R0x0100 mode_select[streaming] system state Streaming Software Standby Slave Mode Slave mode is to ensure having an ERS-GRR-ERS transition without a broken ERS frame before GRR. It requests to trigger/end the GRR sequence through the pin which is similar to the GRR Bulb mode. The major difference to our existing sensor is to start the GRR sequence after the end of the current frame instead of to start immediately in the next following row.

AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Gain Gain AR0833 supports both analog and digital gain. Analog gain Analog gain is provided by colamp and ADC reference scaling (there is no ASC gain due to column parallel nature of architecture). Only global (not per-color) coarse gain can be set by analog gain. Global gain register (R0x305E) sets the analog gain. Bits [1:0] set the colamp gain while bits [4:2] are reserved for ADC gain. While the 2-bit colamp gain provides up to 4x analog gain, only LSB (bit [2]) of ADC gain bits is utilized to support 2x ADC gain. Table 16 is the recommended gain setting: Table 16: Recommended Analog Gain Setting Colamp Gain Codes (R0x305E[1:0]) 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 ADC Gain Codes (R0x305E[4:2]) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Colamp Gain ADC Gain Total Gain 1 2 3 4 3 4 1 1 1 1 2 2 1 2 3 4 6 8 0 0 0 0 1 1 Digital Gain Digital gain provides both per-color and fine (sub 1x) gain. The analog and digital gains are multiplicative to give the total gain. Digital gain is set by setting bits R0x305E[15:5] to set global gain or by individually setting digital color gain R0x3056-C[15:5] where these 11 bits are designed in 4p7 format i.e. 4 MSB provide gain up to 15x in step of 1x while 7 LSB provide sub-1x gain with a step size of 1/128. This sub-1x gain provides the fine gain control for the sensor. Total Gain Max. total gain required by design spec is 8x (analog) and 16x (digital) with min. step size of 1/8. The total gain equation can be formulated as: dec R0x305X[15:5] Total gain = 1 + dec R0x305E[1:0] 1 + R0x305E[2] --------------------------------------------------128 (EQ 17) where X is 6, 8, A, C, for Gr, B, R and Gb, respectively Note: ON Semiconductor recommends using the registers mentioned above for gain settings. Avoid R0x3028 to R0x3038 unless their mapping to above registers is well understood and taken into account. Temperature Sensor A standalone PTAT based temperature sensor has been implemented. The block is controlled independent of sensor timing and all communication happens through the two-wire serial interface. AR0833_DS Rev.

AR0833: 1/3.2-Inch 8 Mp CMOS Digital Image Sensor Internal VCM Driver Internal VCM Driver The AR0833 utilizes an internal Voice Coil Motor (VCM) driver. The VCM functions are register-controlled through the serial interface. There are two output ports, VCM_ISINK and VCM_GND, which would connect directly to the AF actuator. Take precautions in the design of the power supply routing to provide a low impedance path for the ground connection. Appropriate filtering would also be required on the actuator supply. Typical values would be a 0.1F and 10F in parallel.

The EXTCLK input supports an AC-coupled sine-wave input clock or a DC-coupled square-wave input clock. If EXTCLK is AC-coupled to the AR0833 and the clock is stopped, the EXTCLK input to the AR0833 must be driven to ground or to VDD_IO. Failure to do this will result in excessive current consumption within the EXTCLK input receiver.
