Low-Power Solution for Wireless and
Battery-Operated Cameras
Product Overview
Conexant's CX93510 is a
monolithic mixed-signal ASSP
that is specifically designed for
low-power cameras and
motion sensors with visual
verification. The encoder is
controlled through a simple
register set using the
microprocessor interface. The
variety of available interfaces,
such as SPI, UART, and I2C,
allow for wide flexibility in
microprocessor selection.
Combined with an external CMOS sensor, the CX93510
retrieves and stores compressed JPEG and audio data in
an on-chip 256KB/128KB frame buffer so no external
memory is required. The ASSP enables low-cost, lowpower PIR surveillance camera applications with visual
and audio verification.
Upon a motion event, the host processor wakes,
configures the CX93510, and then begins image/audio
captures within 100ms of motion being detected. The
chip has both digital and analog photocell sensor inputs
available to facilitate the measurement of ambient light,
and uses an on-chip LED driver to control an external
infrared LED during low-light conditions. The CX93510
supports JPEG and MJPEG-DPCM image
compression. An optional 2:1 scaler provides QVGA
images from the VGA input. The device processes both
color and black and white images up to 30fps.
With the elective microphone input, the CX93510
records a 2-bit or 4-bit ADPCM audio session
simultaneously during image captures. The frame buffer
can be optionally configured to contain a 4KB
contiguous memory area for audio data storage. When
not enabled, this 4KB block reverts to video memory
use. The stored images and audio data are then passed
on to an external microprocessor.

The CX93510 allows for flexible power management
options with its internal voltage regulators and I/O
connection options. To conserve power, the CX93510
can remain in a very deep sleep during idle periods until
awakened by the host processor. For systems that are
battery powered, the CX93510 can operate between
3.6V and 1.8V. A battery measurement input allows the
host to monitor the battery level and alert the user if
battery replacement is needed.
The CX93510 is a flexible, cost-effective, and low-power
ASSP that is ideally suited for security applications
requiring visual verification.
