The MCM20014 is a fully integrated, high performance CMOS image sensor with features such as integrated timing
control, and analog signal processing for digital imaging applications. The part provides designers a complete imaging solution with a monolithic image capture and processing engine thus making it a true “camera on a chip”. System benefits enable design of smaller, portable, low cost and low power systems. Thereby making the product
suitable for a variety of consumer applications including still/full motion imaging, security/surveillance, and automotive among others.
The imaging pixels are based on active CMOS pixels using pinned photodiodes that are realized using Motorola’s
sub-micron ImageMOSTM technology. The frame rate is completely adjustable from 0 to 30 frames per second
without adjusting the system clock from 10Mhz. Each pixel on the sensor is individually addressable allowing the
user to control “Window of Interest” (WOI) panning and zooming, sub-sampling, resolution, exposure, gain, and
other image processing features via a two pin I2C interface. Programmable digital signal processing blocks
included in the data path are bad-pixel replacement and noise compensation for image enhancement. The sensor
is run by supplying a single Master Clock. The sensor output is 8 or 10 digital bits depending on output mode
selected.

1.0 MCM20014 Overview
The MCM20014 is a solid state CMOS Active CMOS
Imager (ACITM) that integrates the functionality of a
complete analog image acquistion, digitizer, and digital
signal processing system on a single chip. The image
sensor comprises a 1/3” format pixel array with 640x480
(VGA) active elements. The image size is fully programmable to user defined windows of interest. The pixels
are on a 7.8µm pitch. High sensitivity and low noise are
a characteristic of the pinned photodiode architecture
utilized in the pixels. Optional microlenses are available
to further enhance the sensitivity. The sensor is available with Bayer patterned Color Filter Arrays (CFAs) for
color output or as a monochrome imager.
Integrated timing and programming controls allow video
(CFCM) or still (SFCM) image capture mode supporting
progressive or interlace scan modes. Frame rates are
programmable while keeping Master Clock frequency
constant. User programmable row and column start/
stop allow windowing to a minimum 1x1 pixel window.
Windowing can also be performed by subsampling in
multiple pixel increments to allow digital zoom.
A high performance analog signal processing chain
helps establish a new benchmark for digital image capture. The sensor has an unprecedented level of integration. The analog video output of the pixel array is
processed by an on chip processing pipeline. Correlated Double Sampling (CDS) eliminates low frequency
correlated noise. The Frame Rate Clamp (FRC) enables real time optical black level calibration and offset
correction. Digitally Programmable Amplifiers (DPGAs)
allow real time color gain correction for Auto White Balance (AWB) as well as global gain adjustment; offset
calibration can be done on a per column basis or globally. This per-column offset correction can be applied automatically or by using stored values in the on chip
SRAM. A 10-bit Redundant Signed Digit (RSD) ADC
converts the analog data to a 10-bit digital word stream.
The fully differential analog signal processing pipeline
serves to improve noise immunity, signal to noise ratio,
and system dynamic range.
A digital signal post processing block includes programmable features for output data companding and pixel
correction. User programmable thresholding allows replacement of pixels beyond preset maximum and minimum levels by average, trailing, or leading pixels. A
noise core allows companding of data that allows users
to accentuate dark pixels. Data companding can be
done by loading any one of eight hard coded compression curves which performs a 10 to 8 bit transformation
on the data.

The sensor uses an industry standard two line I2C serial
interface. It operates with a single 3.3V power supply
with no additional biases and requires only a single
Master Clock for operation upto 13.5MHz. It is housed
in a 48 pin ceramic LCC package.
The MCM20014 is designed taking into consideration
interfacing requirements to standard video encoders. In
addition to the 10 bit bayer encoded data stream, the
sensor outputs the valid frame, line and pixel sync signals needed for encoding. The sensor interfaces with a
variety of commercially available video image processors to allow encoding into various standard video formats .
The MCM20014 is an elegant and extremely flexible
single chip solution that simplifies a system designer’s
tasks of image sensing, processing, digital conversion,
and digital signal processing to a high performance, low
cost, low power IC. One that supports among others a
wide range of low power, portable consumer digital imaging applications.
2.0 MCM20014 Theory of Operation
This section reviews the concepts behind the operation
of the image sensing and capture mechanisms employed in the MCM20014.
2.1 Sensor Interface
2.1.1 Pixel Architecture
The MCM20014 ImageMOSTM (1) sensor comprises a
640x480 active pixel array and supports both progressive and interlaced scan readout modes. The basic operation of the pixel relies on the photoelectric effect
where due to its physical properties silicon is able to detect photons of light. The photons generate electronhole pairs in direct proportion to the intensity and wavelength of the incident illumination. The application of an
appropriate bias allows the user to collect the electrons
and meter the charge in the form of a useful parameter
such as voltage.
The pixel architecture is based on a four transistor (4T)
Advanced CMOS ImagerTM(2) pixel which requires all
pixels in a row to have common Reset, Transfer, and
Row Select controls. In addition all pixels have common
supply (VDD) and ground (VSS) connections. An optimized cell architecture provides enhancements such as
noise reduction, fill factor maximizations, and antiblooming. The use of pinned photodiodes (3) and proprietary transfer gate devices in the photoelements

2. Advanced CMOS Imager is a Kodak trademark
3. Patents held jointly by Motorola and Kodak
MCM20014
enables enhanced sensitivity in the entire visual spectral range and a lag free operation.
The nominal photoresponse of the MCM20014 is shown
in Figure 3.
Figure 3. MCM20014 Nominal spectral response
In addition to the imaging pixels, there are additional
pixels called dark and dummy pixels at the periphery of
the imaging section (see Figure 2). The dark pixels are
covered by a light blocking shield rendering the pixels
underneath insensitive to photons. These pixels provide
the sensor means to measure the dark level offset
which is used downstream in the signal processing
chain to perform auto black level calibration. The dummy pixels are provided at the array’s periphery to eliminate inexact measurements due to light piping into the
dark pixels adjacent to active pixels. The output of these
pixels should be discarded.
Electronic shuttering, also known as electronic exposure timing in photographic terms, is a standard feature.
The pixel integration time can be widely varied from a
small fraction of a given frame readout time to the entire
frame time. This feature can be especially useful in situations such as imaging of fast moving objects where
maximum available integration time is long enough to
cause smear or blurring or when imaging a bright scene
where there are enough photons to cause an early saturation of the pixel.
MCM20014
2.1.2 Color Separation and Fill Factor Enhancement
The MCM20014 family is offered with the option of
monolithic polymer color filter arrays (CFAs). The combination of an extremely planarized process and propriatary color filter technology result in CFAs with superior
spectral and transmission properties. The standard option (Part # MCM20014IBBN) is a primary (RGB) “Bayer” pattern (see Figure 4), however, facility to produce
customized CFAs including complementary (CMYG)
mosaics also exists. Depending on the application, the
choice between primary or complementary filter mosaics should be made. In general, primary mosaics are
used in still video while complementary are used in real
time video applications.
Applications requiring higher sensitivity can benefit from
the optional micro-lens arrays shown in Figure 5. The
lenslet arrays can improve the fill factor (aperture ratio)
of the sensor by 1.5-2x depending on the F number of
the main lens used in the camera system. Microlenses
yield greatest benefits when the main lens has a high F
number. As a caution, unoptimized F numbers can lead
to optical aberrations hence, care should be taken when

incorporating microlens equipped imagers into camera
systems/heads. The fill factor of the pixels without microlenses is 35%.

enough to produce a reasonable overlap of the sequential rows. If this is not the case then image artifacts may
be produced in instances where the target is moving
very fast or the illumination is varying.
The second available capture mode is called Single
Frame Capture Mode (SFCM). This mode consists of
global integration of all pixels, next a simultaneous
transfer to the Floating Diffusion (FD) node of all pixels
followed by a sequential read out of all rows. This mode
is best suited for still or “single snap shot” capture of an
image where a flash illumination is utilized.
SFCM should only be used when the ambient lighting
will not cause the pixels to saturate during the readout
time.
The user chooses the scan mode via the Capture Mode
Control Register, (Table 24), on page 31.
2.1.4 Image Scan Modes
The MCM20014 has two available image scanning
modes: interlaced and progressive.
Iris
microlenses
Figure 5. Improvement in pixel sensitivity results
from focusing incident light on photo sensitive portions of the pixel by using microlenses.
2.1.3 Frame Capture Modes
Depending on the application the user may choose between the two available Frame Capture Modes (FCMs).
An overview of the operation of the two modes and suggested guidelines for selection are given in this section.
The default mode of image capture is the Continuous
Frame Capture Mode (CFCM). This mode is most suitable for full motion video capture and will yield VGA
sized frame rates up to 36fps at 13.5 MHz MCLK. In this
mode the image integration and row readout take place
in parallel. While a row of pixels is being read out, another row or rows are being integrated. Since the integration time (Tint ) is equal for all rows, the start of the
integration periods for rows is staggered out. This mode
relies on the integration periods of the rows being long
MOTOROLA

Interlacing is a technique used in TV systems that is
used to enhance the vertical resolution of the picture
without increasing the bandwidth of the transmission
system. A spatial offset is introduced on the display system between the odd and even fields. An odd field consists of rows 1,3,5,7,9.... while an even field comprises
rows 2,4,6,8..... Since the spatial offset is exactly half
the vertical pitch of the sensor, the even and odd fields
appear interdigitated when displayed on top of one another, thus appearing to improve the sensor’s vertical
resolution. By definition two interlaced fields comprise a
frame. It should be noted that at high frame rates, motion between fields in interlaced video can cause smear
and/or serrations to appear in the image.
Progressive scanning refers to non-interlaced or sequential row by row scanning of the entire sensor in a
single pass. The image capture happens at one instant
of time. This mode is primarily used in applications
where vertical resolution is of prime importance and
available bandwidth of the transmission system does
not impose any limitations.
The user chooses the scan mode via the Sub-sample
Control Register, (Table 25), on page 32.
2.1.5 Window of Interest Control
The pixel data to be read out of the device is defined as
a ‘Window of Interest’ (WOI). The window of interest
can be defined anywhere on the pixel array at any size.
The user provides the upper-left pixel location and the
size in both rows and columns to define the WOI. The

The WOI can be sub-sampled per user control. The
user can read out the pixel data in either monochrome
or bayer pixel space in four different sampling rates in
each direction: full, 1/2, 1/4, or 1/8. The user controls
the subsampling via the Sub-sample Control Register,
(Table 25), on page 32. An example of Bayer space
sub-sampling is shown in Figure 7.

where vrdd defines the number of rows in the virtual
frame. The user controls vrdd via the CFCM Virtual
Frame Row Depth registers (Table 40 on page 39 and
Table 41 on page 40).
Row Time (Trow) is the length of time required to read
one row of the virtual frame and can be defined as:

2.1.7 CFCM Frame Rate and Integration Time
Control
In addition to the minimum time required to readout the
selected resolution and WOI, the user has the ability to
control the frame rates while operating in CFCM. This is
done by varying the size of a Virtual Frame surrounding
the WOI. Please refer to Figure 8 for a pictorial description of the Virtual Frame and its relationship to the WOI.
MCM20014
The frame rate (time required to readout an entire frame
of data plus the required boundary timing) is completely
defined by the size of the Virtual Frame and can be expressed as:
where vcwd defines the number of columns in the virtual
frame and shsd and shrd are internal timing control registers. The user controls vcwd via the CFCM Virtual
Frame Column Width registers (Table 42 on page 40
and Table 43 on page 41). The user controls the shsd
and shrd values via the Internal Timing Control Register;
Table 28 and is strongly encouraged to write an 00h to
this register.
Tlim is the minimum amount of time required for the internally generated frame clamp signal and is defined as:
Tlim = 719 * MCLKperiod
Tfc is the minimum amount of time required to perform
a frame clamp with timing overhead and is defined as:
Tfc = (719 + shsd + shrd + 19) * MCLKperiod
MOTOROLA

The Integration Time for CFCM is defined by a combination of the width of the virtual frame and the integration time register, (Table 38 on page 38 and Table 39 on
page 39); and can be expressed as:
reference level from the signal output. Double sampling
of the signal eliminates correlated noise sources.
CDSP1
S/H1
Integration Time = (cintd + 1) * Trow
V+
Integration Timecintdrows = Tfc + (cintd * Trow)
By using the default values in the Virtual Frame definition and Integration Time registers, an 00h loaded into
the Internal Timing Control Register, and assuming a
standard video square pixel clock rate of 13.5Mhz, we
can calculate the frame rate and integration time as:
Row Time = (749 + 16 + 16 + 19) / 13.5e6 = 59.26µs
Frame Time = (524 + 1) * 59.26µs = 31.11ms which results in a Frame Rate of 32.21 frames per second.
AMP

where cintd is the number of virtual frame row times desired for integration time. Therefore, the integration time
in CFCM mode can be adjusted in steps of virtual frame
row times. This equation for Integration Time is valid
only for Trow > Tlim. For virtual frames where Trow < Tlim,
the integration time is different for the first cintd rows
and is defined as:

implementation.
2.2.2 Frame Rate Clamp (FRC)
The FRC (Figure 10) is designed to provide a feed forward dark level subtract reference level measurement.
In the automatic FRC mode, the optical black level reference is re-established each time the image sensor
begins a new frame. The MCM20014 uses optical black
(dark) pixels to aid in establishing this reference.
CapLRCA
0.1µf
Integration Time = (524 + 1) * 59.26µs = 31.26ms.
2.1.8 SFCM Integration Time Control
The Integration Time for the SFCM is defined by the integration time register (Table 37 on page 38 through Table 39 on page 39) and can be expressed as:
Integration Time = sintd * 16 * MCLKperiod
where sintd is a number. Therefore, the user can adjust
integration time in steps of 16 MCLK periods.
2.2 Analog Signal Processing Chain Overview
The MCM20014’s analog signal processing (ASP)
chain incorporates Correlated Double Sampling (CDS),
Frame Rate Clamp (FRC), two Digitally Programmable
Gain Amplifiers (DPGA), Offset Correction (DOVA), and
a 10-bit Analog to Digital Converter (ADC).
2.2.1 Correlated Double Sampling (CDS)
The uncertainty associated with the reset action of a capacitive node results in a reset noise which is equal to
kTC; C being the capacitance of the node, T the temperature and k the Boltzmann constant. A common way of
eliminating this noise source in all image sensors is to
use Correlated Double Sampling. The output signal is
sampled twice, once for its reset (reference) level and
once for the actual video signal. These values are sampled and held while a difference amplifier subtracts the

Figure 10. FRC Conceptual Block Diagram
On the MCM20014, dark pixel input signals should be
sampled for a minimum of 137µs to allow the two 0.1µF
capacitors at the CLRCA and CLRCB pins sufficient
time to charge for 10-bit accuracy. This guarantees that
the FRC’s “droop” will be maintained at <750 µV, thus
assuring the specified ADC 10-bit accuracy at +0.5
LSB. Therefore, at maximum operational frequency
(13.5 MHz), the imager would require 6 frames to establish the dark pixel reference for subsequent active pixel
processing. The dark pixel sample period is automatically controlled internally and it is set to skip the first 2
dark rows and then sample the next dark row. When
MCM20014
“dark clamping” is active, each dark pixel is processed
and held to establish pixel reference level at the CLRCA
and CLRCB pins. During this period, the FRC’s differential outputs (V+ and V- on the Diff Amp, Figure 10) are
clamped to Vcm. Together, these actions help to eliminate the dark level offset, simultaneously establishing
the desired zero code at the ADC output.
Care should be exercised in choosing the capacitors for
the CLRCA, B pins to reflect different frame rates.
The user can disable this function via the Capture Mode
Control Register, (Table 24), on page 31 which will allow the ASP chain to drift in offsetPer-Column Digital
Offset Voltage Adjust (DOVA)
A programmable per-column offset adjustment is available on the MCM20014. A user defined offset value can
be loaded via a 4-bit signed magnitude programming
code. This programmable DOVA allows the user to select offset coefficients for FPN & PRNU corrections and
channel offset normalization, and is used to correct for
column induced errors. In the default mode, data is automatically loaded into an onchip RAM that stores 704,
4 bit words representing offset coefficients for each individual column in the imaging array. Figure 11 depicts
a conceptual view of how the automatic generation of
the per-column offsets is accomplished.

The user can generate and load data for this function as
well. A dark frame can be analyzed to determine the appropriate values to be loaded into the Per-Column
DOVA RAM (Column DOVA RAM, (Table 19), on page
27).
When the per-column feature is not used or necessary,
the user loads a 5-bit value into the Column DOVA DC
Register, (Table 17), on page 26 to perform a global offset adjust prior to the gain stages of the ASP.

2.2.3 Digitally Programmable Gain Amplifiers
(DPGA)
Two DPGAs are available in the analog signal processing chain. These are used to perform white balance and
exposure gain functions. Both are linearly programmable via 6-bit registers.
2.2.3.1 White Balance Control PGA
The sensor produces three primary color outputs, Red,
Green and Blue. These are monochrome signals that
represent luminance values in each of the primary colors. When added in equal amounts they mix to make
neutral color. White balancing is a technique where the
gain coefficients of the green(0), red, blue, and green(3)
pixels comprising the Bayer pattern (see Figure 12.) are
set so as to equalize their outputs for neutral color
scenes. Since the sensitivity of the two green pixels in
the Bayer pattern may not be equal, an individual color
gain register is provided for each component of the Bayer pattern.
Once all color gain registers are loaded with the desired
gain coefficients, white balance is achieved in real time
and in analog space. The appropriate values are selected and applied to the pixel output via a high speed path,
the delay of which is much shorter than the pixel clock
rate. Real time updates can be performed to any of the
gain registers. However, latency associated with the I2C
interface should be taken into consideration before
changes occur. In most applications, users will be able
to assign predefined settings such as daylight, fluorescent, tungsten, and halogen to cover a wide gamut of illumination conditions.
Both DPGA designs use switched capacitors to minimize accumulated offset and improve measurement accuracy and dynamic range. The white balance gain
registers are 6-bits and can be programmed to allow
gain of 0.9x to 4.6x in steps of 0.06x.
The user programs the individual gain coefficients into
the MCM20014 via the Color Gain Registers (Table 3
through Table 6). For the default Bayer configuration of
the color filter array; Figure 4, the Color Gain Register
addresses are as follows: Reg (00h): green pixel of a
green-red row; Reg (01h): red pixel; Reg (02h): blue pixel; and Reg (03h): green pixel of a blue-green row.
The MCM20014 is presently available with only a Bayer
CFA, however, it is designed to support other novel color configurations. This is accomplished via the Color
Tile Configuration Register, (Table 7), on page 20 and
the Color Tile Row Definition registers (Table 8 through
Table 11).

2.2.3.2 Global Gain PGA
The global gain DPGA provides a 1.0x to 8.0x programmable gain adjustment for dynamic range. The gain of
the amplifier is linearly programmable using a six bit
gain coefficient in steps of 0.12x. The user programs the
global gain via the DPGA Global Gain Register, (Table
16), on page 25.
2.2.4 Global Digital Offset Voltage Adjust (DOVA)
A programmable global offset adjustment is available
on the MCM20014. A user defined offset value is loaded
via a 6-bit signed magnitude programming code via the
Global DOVA Register, (Table 20), on page 28.
Offset correction allows fine-tuning of the signal to remove any additional residual error which may have accumulated in the analog signal path. This function is
performed directly before analog to digital conversion
and introduces a fixed gain of 2.0X. This feature is useful in applications that need to insert a desired offset to
adjust for a known system noise floor relative to AVSS
and offsets of amplifiers in the analog chain.
2.2.5 Analog to Digital Converter (ADC)
The ADC is a fully differential, low power circuit. A pipelined, Redundant Signed Digit (RSD) algorithmic technique is used to yield an ADC with superior
characteristics for imaging applications.
Integral Noise Linearity (INL) and Differential Noise Linearity (DNL) performance is specified at +1.0 and +0.5,
respectively, with no missing codes. The input voltage
resolution is 2.44 mV with a full-scale 2.5 Vpp input (2.5
Vpp/210). The input dynamic range of the ADC is programmed via a Programmable Voltage Reference Generator. The positive reference voltage (VREFP) and
negative reference voltages (VREFM) can be programmed from 2.5V to 1.25V and 0V to 1.25V respec-
MOTOROLA
10
tively in steps of 5mV via the Reference Voltage
Registers (Table 12 and Table 13). This feature is used
independently or in conjunction with the DPGAs to maximize the system dynamic range based on incident illumination. The default input range for the ADC is 1.9V for
VREFP and 0.6V for VREFM hence allowing a 10 bit
digitization of a 1.3V peak to peak signal.
2.3 Digital Signal Post Processing
The post ADC functions provide means for manipulating
the 10-bit imager data. These functions are replacing
bad pixels and output signal companding.
2.3.1 Bad Pixel Replacement
This block conditionally monitors and replaces any defective pixels on the imager. The user sets threshold
values for extreme black and extreme white to detect
bad pixels and independently enables/disables one or
both detections. Threshold values are input via the
White and Black Pixel Threshold Registers (Table 21
and Table 22 respectively) while the functions themselves are enabled via the Post ADC Control Register,
(Table 23), on page 29.
The black threshold input sets the 8 LSBs of the minimum detection level. The 2 MSBs are hard coded to 00
hence giving a range of 0-255 for setting the black
threshold levels. Any pixel value below the predefined
black threshold level is replaced. Similarly the white
threshold input sets the 8 LSBs of the maximum detection level. The 2 MSBs are hard coded to 11 allowing a
range white threshold level settings between 768 and
1023 code levels. Any pixels value above the definedwhite threshold level is replaced. The replacement value in either case is determined automatically by the
control bus. Based on the location of the pixel, a decision to replace the pixel value by the same color average, leading or trailing pixel value is made.
2.3.2 Data Compander
The Data Compander allows coring of the lower order
bits. In effect, it expands the values of lower signal levels and compresses high light scenes thereby allowing
for on-chip contrast adjustments. The companding
function performs an 8-bit transformation on the in-coming 10-bit data stream. The output is made available on
the upper 8 MSBs of the 10 bit output bus. The user can
select one of the 8 transformation curves shown in Figure 13 via the Post ADC Control Register, (Table 23),
on page 29. The bottom curve is linear in which the input
is divided by four. For other choices, the I/O relationship
is kept 1:1 up to a certain breakpoint. There onwards a
straight line equation is used to transform the remaining
input values.
MCM20014
The default is the linear curve, breakpoints can be selected via the slope and breakpoint control bits on the
Post ADC Control Register. This function can be bypassed to output 10-bit linear data.

2.4 Additional Operational Conditions
The MCM20014 includes initialization, standby modes,
and external reference voltage outputs to afford the
user additional applications flexibility.
2.4.1 Initialization
The INIT input pin (#28) controls reinitialization of the
MCM20014. This serves to assure controlled chip and
system startup. Control is asserted via a logic high input. This state must be held a minimum of 1 ms and a 1
ms “wait period” should be allowed before chip processing to ensure that the start-up routines within the
MCM20014 have run to completion, and to guarantee
that all holding and bypass capacitors, etc. have
achieved their required steady state values.
Tasks which are accomplished during startup include:
reset of the utility programming registers and initialization to their default values (please refer to previous sec-
MCM20014
tion for settings), reset of all internal counters and
latches, and setup of the analog signal processing
chain.
2.4.2 Standby Mode
The standby mode option is implemented to allow the
user to reduce system power consumption during periods which do not require operation of the MCM20014.
This feature allows the user to extend battery life in low
power applications.
By utilizing this mode, the user may reduce dynamic
power consumption from 400mW, in the active processing, 13 Million Samples per Second mode, to <50 mW
in the standby mode (note that dynamic power consumption is also reduced in slower conversion speed
applications).
MOTOROLA
11
The standby mode is activated by applying an active
high signal to the STBY pin (#27). The sensor can also
be put in the stand by mode via bit <0> on the Power
Configuration Register (OCh)
The user may also reduce power consumption in the active processing mode by placing the MCM20014’s outputs in the tri-state mode. This action may be
accomplished by placing the TS pin in the active high
state. This action can also accomplished by setting the
dbt bit on the Power Configuration Register; Table 14,
(0Ch).
2.4.3 References CVREFP, CVREFM
The MCM20014 contains all internally generated references and biases on-chip for system simplification. An
internally generated differential bandgap regulator derives all the ADC and other analog signal processing required references. The user should connect 0.1µF
capacitors to the CVREFP and CVREFM pins (#19 and
#18 respectively) to accurately hold the biases.
2.4.4 Internal Timing Control Register
The Internal Timing Control Register; Table 28 allows
control over pulse widths of critical internal timing signals. The user must write an 00h into this address location to assure proper operation of the MCM20014.
2.4.5 Internal Bias Current Control
The ASP chain has internally generated bias currents
that result in an operating power consumption of nearly
400mW. By attaching a resistor between pin 13, EXTRES; and ground, the user can reduce the power consumption of the device. This feature is enabled by
writing a 1b to bit res of the Power Configuration Register. Figure 14 depicts the power savings that can be
achieved with an external resistor at a specific clock
rate. Additional power savings can be acheived at lower
clock rates.

5.1.1 Analog Color Configuration
The four Color Gain Registers, Color Tile Configuration
Register, and four Color Tile Row definitions define how
white balance is achieved on the device. Six-bit gain
codes can be selected for four separate colors: Table 3,
Table 4, Table 5, and Table 6. Gain for each individual
color register is programmable given the gain function
defined in the table. The user programs these registers
to account for changing light conditions to assure a
white balanced output. The default value in each register is provides for a unity gain. In addition, the default
CFA pattern color is listed in the title of each register.

The analog register block allows programming the input
voltage range of the analog to digital converter to match
the saturation voltage of the pixel array. The voltage reference generator can be programmed via two registers;
nrv (0 to 1.25V) Table 12, prv (2.5V to 1.25V) Table 13,
in 5mV steps. A 00h value in the prv register represents
Address
0Ah
a reference output voltage of 2.5V. A 00h value in the
nrv register represents output voltage of 0V. The default settings for the two registers produce a 1.9V reference on prv and 0.6V on nrv outputs. When adjusting
these values, the user should keep the voltage range
centered around 1.25V.

5.1.3 Analog Control Registers
The Analog Register Block also contains a Power Configuration Register; Table 14, and a Reset Control Register; Table 15.
The Power Configuration Register controls the internal
analog functionality that directly effect power consumption of the device. An external precision resistor pin is
available on the MCM20014 that may be used to more
accurately regulate the internal current sources. This
serves to minimize variations in power consumption that
are caused by variations in internal resistor values as
well as offer a method to reduce the power consumption
of the device. The default for this control uses the interAddress
0Ch
nally provided resistor which is nominally 12.5kΩ. This
feature is enabled by setting the res bit of the Power
Configuration Register and placing a resistor between
the pin; EXTRES, and ground. Figure 14 depicts the
power savings that can be achieved with an external resistor at a specific clock rate. Power is further reduced
at lower clock rates.
The databus output; ADC[9:0], is tristated using the
Power Configuration Register by setting the dbt bit.
The MCM20014 is put into a standby mode via the I2C
interface by setting the sby bit of the Power Configuration Register.

bus as defined in this section.
Setting bit ece enables the per-column DOVA to be
used and the per-column offset values loaded into the
DOVA RAM will be applied to the pixel output. The global DOVA adjust circuit is enabled by default.
Setting the cntr bit resets the internal counter used to
repetitively load the RAM with user defined data. This is
used in cases where the system controller loses control
of the I2C bus while writing to the Column DOVA RAM.
Setting the cal bit configures the Column DOVA RAM
using internally generated offset data. When the
MCM20014 is first initiated, it will automatically generate and load the Column DOVA RAM with the appropriate data. However, if operational conditions such as
temperature or operating frequency change, the user
can use the cal bit to re-determine the appropriate column data.
The automatic calibration data is calculated using the
average differential offset across four dark rows. This
feature does not create the most effective data for reducing the column oriented fixed pattern noise of the
device. The user can calculate the column offset data

upon initialization and can be automatically reloaded as

the left-most column of the pixel array. The user should
set and reset the cntr bit of the Column DOVA Control
Register, prior to loading the Column DOVA RAM to assure proper addressing.
When the user is calculating values to be loaded into
the DOVA RAM, the fixed gain of 2x in the ASP after
the Column DOVA circuit must be taken into account.
Therefore, each code value in the DOVA RAM represents 2 code values in the 10-bit ADC output.

5.4 Post ADC Block
The post ADC block contains the bad-pixel replacement
registers and a general output control register.
The White Pixel Threshold Register; Table 21, and
Black Pixel Threshold Register; Table 22, are used to
set the thresholds for white and black pixel replacements. The MSBs on the Black Pixel Threshold Register are hard coded to 00b hence a black replacement
threshold value between 0d - 255d can be set. This forces the sensor to replace any pixel value at or below the
threshold by the average value of the neighboring same
color pixels. Similarly the MSBs on the White Pixel
Threshold Register are hard coded to 11b hence a white
replacement threshold level between 768d - 1023d can
be set. Again; as in the dark thresholding, if the sensor
encounters any pixel value that exceeds the set threshold, it will replace it with the average value of the neighboring same color pixels.
MOTOROLA
28
Care should be taken in assigning these thresholds.
This function performs an averaging effect on the image, therefore, the greater the code distance the thresholds move from the voltage rail, the more averaging
occurs between pixels.

5.5.1 Sensor Output Control
The sensor output control registers define how the window of interest is captured and what data is output from
the MCM20014.
The frc bit is used to enable or disable the Frame Rate
Clamp. Unsetting this bit will turn off the frame rate
clamp and the output dark level will begin to drift over
frames. The frame rate clamp is enabled in default
mode.
The Capture Mode Control Register; Table 24, defines
how the data is captured and how the data is to be provided at the output.
The sp bit is used to define whether SOF is active high
or low. SOF is active high in default.
The sms bit defines the shutter mode, CFCM or SFCM,
of the device as described in section 2.1.3. CFCM is the
default mode.
Setting the cms bit will stop the current CFCM output
data stream at the end of the current frame. Unsetting
this bit (cms = 0b) will resume the output of the frame
stream. The MCM20014 is in CFCM in default. The user
may use this bit to capture data in the CFCM mode
while using the SYNC pin. The SYNC pin triggers a single frame of data to be output from the device in the
CFCM mode. Please refer to Figure 19, on page 14 for
a timing diagram of this mode.

to output the pixels at the same point in time it would
have if the pixel array was fully sampled. Setting this bit
to a 0b (default) will cause the device to burst each row
of pixels out at the normal MCLK rate.
The row sampling rate is defined by rf[1:0] while the column sampling rate is defined by cf[1:0]. The pixel array
is fully sampled in default.

upper-left starting point for the window and another set
of registers that define the size of the window. Please
refer to Figure 6, on page 7 for a pictorial representation
of the WOI within the active pixel array.
The WOI Row Depth; wrd[8:0], has a range of 0d to
511d whereas the WOI Column Depth; wcd[9:0], has a
range of 0d to 703d.
The user should be careful to create a WOI that contains active pixels only. There is no logic in the sensor
The WOI Row Pointer; wrp[8:0] (Table 29 and Table

5.5.3 Integration Time Control
The Integration Time registers; Table 37, Table 38, and
Table 39, control the integration time for the pixel array.
Integration time for SFCM; sint[20:0], is measured in
MCLK cycles while the integration time for CFCM;
cint[15:0], is measured in Virtual Row times. Please refer to Figure 8 for a pictorial description of the Virtual
Frame and its relationship to the WOI.
The user should be careful to create a Virtual Frame
that is larger than the WOI. There is no logic in the sensor interface to prevent the user from defining a Virtual
Frame smaller than the WOI. Therefore, pixel data may
be lost.
A virtual frame is the mechanism by which the user controls the integration time and frame time for the output
data stream. By adding additional rows or columns as
‘blanking’ to the WOI to form the Virtual Frame, the user
can control the amount of blanking in both horizontal
and vertical space.
The Virtual Frame completely defines the integration
time in CFCM. Any changes to the WOI or how the WOI
is sampled has no effect on integration time.
The Virtual Frame must be 1 row and 6 columns larger
than the WOI.
Both the Virtual Frame Row Depth; vrd[13:0], and the
Virtual Frame Column Width; vcw[9:0] have a range of
0d to 16384d.

6.0 I2C Serial Interface
The I2C is an industry standard which is also compatible
with the Motorola bus (called M-Bus) that is available on
many microprocessor products. The I2C contains a serial two-wire half-duplex interface that features bidirectional operation, master or slave modes, and multimaster environment support. The clock frequency on
the system is governed by the slowest device on the
board. The SDATA and SCLK are the bidirectional data
and clock pins, respectively. These pins are open drain
and will require a pull-up resistor to VDD of 1.5 kΩ to 10
kΩ (see page 48).
The I2C is used to write the required user system data
into the Program Control Registers in the MCM20014.
The I2C bus can also read the data in the Program Control Register for verification or test considerations. The
MCM20014 is a slave only device that supports a maximum clock rate (SCLK) of 100 kHz while reading or
writing only one register address per I2C start/stop cycle. The following sections will be limited to the methods
for writing and reading data into the MCM20014 register.
For a complete reference to I2C, see “The I2C Bus from
Theory to Practice” by Dominique Paret and CarllFenger, published by John Wiley & Sons, ISBN
0471962686.
6.1 MCM20014 I2C Bus Protocol
The MCM20014 uses the I2C bus to write or read one
register byte per start/stop I2C cycle as shown in Figure
25 and Figure 26. These figures will be used to describe
MCM20014
the various parts of the I2C protocol communications as
it applies to the MCM20014.
MCM20014 I2C bus communication is basically composed of following parts: START signal, MCM20014
slave address (0110011b) transmission followed by a R/
W bit, an acknowledgment signal from the slave, 8 bit
data transfer followed by another acknowledgment signal, STOP signal, Repeated START signal, and clock
synchronization.
6.2 START Signal
When the bus is free, i.e. no master device is engaging
the bus (both SCLK and SDATA lines are at logical “1”),
a master may initiate communication by sending a
START signal. As shown in Figure 25, a START signal
is defined as a high-to-low transition of SDATA while
SCLK is high. This signal denotes the beginning of a
new data transfer and wakes up all the slaves on the
bus.
6.3 Slave Address Transmission
The first byte of a data transfer, immediately after the
START signal, is the slave address transmitted by the
master. This is a 7-bit calling address followed by a R/
W bit. The seven-bit address for the MCM20014, starting with the MSB (AD7) is 0110011b. The transmitted
calling address on the SDATA line may only be
changed while SCLK is low as shown in Figure 25. The
data on the SDATA line is valid on the High to Low signal transition on the SCLK line. The R/W bit following
the 7-bit tells the slave the desired direction of data
transfer:
MOTOROLA
41
•
•
1 = Read transfer, the slave transitions to a slave
transmitter and sends the data to the master
0 = Write transfer, the master transmits data to the
slave
6.4 Acknowledgment
Only the slave with a calling address that matches the
one transmitted by the master will respond by sending
back an acknowledge bit. This is done by pulling the
SDATA line low at the 9th clock (see Figure 25). If a
transmitted slave address is acknowledged, successful
slave addressing is said to have been achieved. No two
slaves in the system may have the same address. The
MCM20014 is configured to be a slave only.
6.5 Data Transfer
Once successful slave addressing is achieved, data
transfer can proceed between the master and the selected slave in a direction specified by the R/W bit sent
by the calling master. Note that for the first byte after a
start signal (in Figure 25 and Figure 26), the R/W bit is
always a “0” designating a write transfer. This is required since the next data transfer will contain the register address to be read or written.
as a low-to-high transition of SDATA while SCLK is at
logical “1” (see Figure 25).
The master can generate a STOP even if the slave has
generated an acknowledge bit at which point the slave
must release the bus.
6.7 Repeated START Signal
A Repeated START signal is a START signal generated
without first generating a STOP signal to terminate the
communication. This is used by the master to communicate with another slave or with the same slave in a different mode (transmit/receive mode) without releasing
the bus.
As shown in Figure 26, a Repeated START signal is being used during the read cycle and to redirect the data
transfer from a write cycle (master transmits the register
address to the slave) to a read cycle (slave transmits
the data from the designated register to the slave).
All transfers that come after a calling address cycle are
referred to as data transfers, even if they carry sub-address information for the slave device.
Each data byte is 8 bits long. Data may be changed only
while SCLK is low and must be held stable while SCLK
is high as shown in Figure 25. There is one clock pulse
on SCLK for each data bit, the MSB being transferred
first.
Each data byte has to be followed by an acknowledge
bit, which is signalled from the receiving device by pulling the SDATA low at the ninth clock. So one complete
data byte transfer needs nine clock pulses. If the slave
receiver does not acknowledge the master, the SDATA
line must be left high by the slave. The master can then
generate a stop signal to abort the data transfer or a
start signal (repeated start) to commence a new calling.
If the master receiver does not acknowledge the slave
transmitter after a byte transmission, it means 'end of
data' to the slave, so the slave releases the SDATA line
for the master to generate STOP or START signal.
6.6 Stop Signal
The master can terminate the communication by generating a STOP signal to free the bus. However, the master may generate a START signal followed by a calling
command without generating a STOP signal first. This
is called a Repeated START. A STOP signal is defined

6.8 I2C Bus Clocking and Synchronization
Open drain outputs are used on the SCLK outputs of all
master and slave devices so that the clock can be synchronized and stretched using wire-AND logic. This
means that the slowest device will keep the bus from
going faster than it is capable of receiving or transmitting data.
After the master has driven SCLK from High to Low, all
the slaves drive SCLK Low for the required period that
is needed by each slave device and then releases the
SCLK bus. If the slave SCLK Low period is greater than
the master SCLK Low period, the resulting SCLK bus
signal Low period is stretched. Therefore, synchronized
clocking occurs since the SCLK is held low by the device with the longest Low period. Also, this method can
be used by the slaves to slow down the bit rate of a
transfer. The master controls the length of time that the
SCLK line is in the High state. The data on the SDATA
line is valid when the master switches the SCLK line
from a High to a Low.
Slave devices may hold the SCLK low after completion
of one byte transfer (9 bits). In such case, it halts the bus
clock and forces the master clock into wait states until
the slave releases the SCLK line.

Notes:
- All parameters are characterized for DC conditions after thermal equilibrium has been established.
- Unused inputs must always be tied to an appropriate logic level, e.g., either VSS or VDD.
- This device contains circuitry to protect the inputs against damage due to high static voltages or electric fields; however, it is advised that
normal precautions be taken to avoid application of any voltage higher than the maximum rated voltages to this high impedance circuit.
- For proper operation it is recommended that Vin and Vout be constrained to the range VSS < (Vin or Vout) < VDD.
