AR0331
AR0331 1/3‐Inch 3.1 Mp/Full
HD Digital Image Sensor
General Description
The ON Semiconductor AR0331 is a 1/3-inch CMOS digital image
sensor with an active-pixel array of 2048 (H) x 1536 (V). It captures
images in either linear or high dynamic range modes, with a
rolling-shutter readout. It includes sophisticated camera functions
such as in-pixel binning, windowing and both video and single frame
modes. It is designed for both low light and high dynamic range scene
performance. It is programmable through a simple two-wire serial
interface. The AR0331 produces extraordinarily clear, sharp digital
pictures, and its ability to capture both continuous video and single
frames makes it the perfect choice for a wide range of applications,
including surveillance and HD video.
The ON Semiconductor AR0331 can be operated in its default mode
or programmed for frame size, exposure, gain, and other parameters.
The default mode output is a 1080p-resolution image at 60 frames per
second (fps). In linear mode, it outputs 12-bit or 10-bit A-Law
compressed raw data, using either the parallel or serial (HiSPi) output
ports. In high dynamic range mode, it outputs 12-bit compressed data
using parallel output. In HiSPi mode, 12- or 14-bit compressed, or
16-bit linearized data may be output. The device may be operated in
video (master) mode or in single frame trigger mode.
FRAME_VALID and LINE_VALID signals are output on dedicated
pins, along with a synchronized pixel clock in parallel mode.
The AR0331 includes additional features to allow applicationspecific tuning: windowing and offset, auto black level correction, and
on-board temperature sensor. Optional register information and
histogram statistic information can be embedded in the first and last 2
lines of the image frame.
The sensor is designed to operate in a wide temperature range
(–30°C to +85°C).

AR0331
FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
The AR0331 is a progressive-scan sensor that generates
a stream of pixel data at a constant frame rate. It uses an
on-chip, phase-locked loop (PLL) that can be optionally
enabled to generate all internal clocks from a single master
input clock running between 6 and 48 MHz. The maximum
output pixel rate is 148.5 Mp/s, corresponding to a clock rate
of 74.25 MHz. Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the sensor.

(providing offset correction and gain), and then through an
analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The output from the
ADC is a 12-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 sensor also offers a high dynamic range
mode of operation where multiple images are combined
on-chip to produce a single image at 16-bit per pixel value.
A compression mode is further offered to allow the 16-bit
pixel value to be transmitted to the host system as a 12-bit
value with close to zero loss in image quality.
User interaction with the sensor is through the two-wire
serial bus, which communicates with the array control,
analog signal chain, and digital signal chain. The core of the
sensor is a 3.1 Mp Active-pixel Sensor array. The timing and
control circuitry sequences through the rows of the array,
resetting and then reading each row in turn. In the time
interval between resetting a row and reading that row, the
pixels in the row integrate 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

All power supplies should be adequately decoupled.
ON Semiconductor recommends a resistor value of 1.5 kΩ, but a greater value may be used for slower two-wire speed.
The parallel interface output pads can be left unconnected if the serial output interface is used.
ON Semiconductor recommends that 0.1 μF and 10 μF decoupling capacitors for each power supply
are mounted as close as possible to the pad. Actual values and results may vary depending on layout and design
considerations. Refer to the AR0331 demo headboard schematics for circuit recommendations.
5. ON Semiconductor recommends that analog power planes are placed in a manner such that coupling
with the digital power planes is minimized.
6. I/O signals voltage must be configured to match VDD_IO voltage to minimize any leakage currents.

Default Readout Order
When the sensor is imaging, the active surface of the
sensor faces the scene as shown in Figure 9. When the image
is read out of the sensor, it is read one row at a time, with the
rows and columns sequenced as shown in Figure 9.
By convention, the sensor core pixel array is shown with
pixel (0,0) in the top right corner (see Figure 8). This reflects
the actual layout of the array on the die. Also, the first pixel
data read out of the sensor in default condition is that of pixel
(0, 0).

PIXEL OUTPUT INTERFACES
Parallel Interface
When the parallel pixel data interface is in use, the serial
data output signals can be left unconnected. Set
reset_register [bit 12 (R0x301A[12] = 1)] to disable the
serializer while in parallel output mode.
The parallel pixel data interface uses these output-only
signals:
• FRAME_VALID
• LINE_VALID
• PIXCLK
• DOUT[11:0]
Output Enable Control
When the parallel pixel data interface is enabled, its
signals can be switched asynchronously between the driven
and High-Z under pin or register control, as shown in
Table 6.
The parallel pixel data interface is disabled by default at
power up and after reset. It can be enabled by programming
R0x301A. Table 7 shows the recommended settings.

Each digital gain can be configured from a gain of 0 to
15.992. The digital gain supports 128 gain steps per 6dB of
gain. The format of each digital gain register is
“xxxx.yyyyyyy” where “xxxx” refers an integer gain of 1 to
15 and “yyyyyyy” is a fractional gain ranging from 0/128 to
127/128.
The sensor includes a digital dithering feature to reduce
quantization noise resulting from using digital gain. It can be
disabled by setting R0x30BA[5] to 0. The default value is 1.
PEDESTALS
There are two types of constant offset pedestals that may
be adjusted at the end of the datapath.
The data pedestal is a constant offset that is added to pixel
values at the end of the datapath. The default offset when
ALTM is disabled is 168 and is a 12-bit offset. This offset
matches the maximum range used by the corrections in the
digital readout path. The purpose of the data pedestal is to
convert negative values generated by the digital datapath
into positive output data. It is recommended that the data
pedestal be set to 16 when ALTM is enabled.
The data pedestal value can be changed from its default
value by adjusting register R0x301E.
The ALTM pedestal (R0x2450) is also located at the end
of the datapath. The ALTM pedestal default offset is 0.

AR0331
HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE MODE
By default, the sensor powers up in HDR Mode. The HDR
scheme used is multi-exposure HDR. This allows the sensor
to handle up to 100 dB of dynamic range. In HDR mode, the
sensor sequentially captures two exposures by maintaining
two separate read and reset pointers that are interleaved
within the rolling shutter readout. The intermediate pixel
values are stored in line buffers while waiting for the two
exposure values to be present. As soon as a pixel’s two
exposure values are available, they are combined to create
a linearized 16-bit value for each pixel’s response.
Depending on whether HiSPi or Parallel mode is selected,
the full 16 bit value may be output, it can be compressed to
12 bits using Adaptive Local Tone Mapping (ALTM), or
companded to 12 or 14 bits.
range of display devices. Today’s typical LCD monitor has
a contrast ratio around 1000:1 while it is not atypical for an
HDR image having a contrast ratio of around 250000:1.
Therefore, in order to reproduce HDR images on a low
dynamic range display device, the captured high dynamic
range must be compressed to the available range of the
display device. This is commonly called tone mapping. The
AR0331 has implemented an adaptive local tone mapping
(ALTM) feature to reproduce visually appealing images that
increase the local contrast and the visibility of the images.
When ALTM is enabled, the gamma in the backend ISP
should be set to 1 for proper display.
See the AR0331 Developer Guide for more information
on ALTM.
Adaptive Local Tone Mapping
Companding
Real- world scenes often have a very high dynamic range
(HDR) that far exceeds the electrical dynamic range of the
imager. Dynamic range is defined as the luminance ratio
between the brightest and the darkest objects in a scene.
Even though the AR0331 can capture full dynamic range
images, the images are still limited by the low dynamic
The 16-bit linearized HDR image may be compressed to
12 bits using on-chip companding. Figure 19 illustrates the
compression from 16- to 12-bits. Companding is enabled by
setting R0x31D0. Table 10 shows the knee points for the
different modes.

As described in Table 10, the AR0331 companding block
operates on 16-bit input only. For the exposure ratios that do
not result in 16-bits, bit shifting occurs before the data enters
the companding block. As a result of the bit shift, data needs
to be unshifted after linearization in order to obtain the
proper image. Table 11 provides the bit operation that
should occur to the data after linearization.

then relinearization would still follow the programmed
ratio. For example if the T1/T2 ratio was programmed to 16x
but coarse integration was increased beyond 1120 then one
would still use the 16x relinearization formulas.
An additional limitation is the maximum number of
exposure lines in relation to the frame_length_lines register.
In linear mode, maximum coarse_integration_time =
frame_length_lines − 1. However in HDR mode, since the
coarse integration time register controls T1, the max coarse
integration time is frame_length_lines − 71.
Putting the two criteria listed above together, the formula
is as follows:
In HDR mode, pixel values are stored in line buffers while
waiting for both exposures to be available for final pixel data
combination. There are 70 line buffers used to store
intermediate T1 data. Due to this limitation, the maximum
coarse integration time possible for a given exposure ratio is
equal to 70*T1/T2 lines.
For example, if R0x3082[3:2] = 2, the sensor is set to have
T1/T2 ratio = 16x. Therefore the maximum number of
integration lines is 70*16 = 1120 lines. If coarse integration
time is greater than this, the T2 integration time will stay at
70. The sensor will calculate the ratio internally, enabling the
linearization to be performed. If companding is being used,
maximum coarse_integration_time + minimum(70

Motion Compensation
The motion compensation feature can be enabled by
setting R0x318C[14] = 1. Additional parameters are
available to control the extent of motion detection and
correction as per the requirements of the specific
application. For more information, refer to the AR0331
Register Reference document and the AR0331 Developer
Guide.
In typical multi-exposure HDR systems, motion artifacts
can be created when objects move during the T1 or T2
integration time. When this happens, edge artifacts can
potentially be visible and might look like a ghosting effect.
To correct this, the AR0331 has special 2D motion
compensation circuitry that detects motion artifacts and
corrects the image.
RESET
Soft Reset of Logic
The AR0331 may be reset by the RESET_BAR pin
(active LOW) or the reset register.
Soft reset of logic is controlled by the R0x301A Reset
register. Bit 0 is used to reset the digital logic of the sensor.
Furthermore, by asserting the soft reset, the sensor aborts the
current frame it is processing and starts a new frame. This bit
is a self-resetting bit and also returns to “0” during two-wire
serial interface reads.
Hard Reset of Logic
The RESET_BAR pin can be connected to an external RC
circuit for simplicity. The recommended RC circuit uses a 10
kΩ resistor and a 0.1 μF capacitor. The rise time for the RC
circuit is 1 μs maximum.

Figure 20. PLL Dividers Affecting VCO Frequency
The sensor contains a phase-locked loop (PLL) that is
used for timing generation and control. The required VCO
clock frequency is attained through the use of a pre-PLL
clock divider followed by a multiplier. The PLL multiplier
should be an even integer. If an odd integer (M) is
programmed, the PLL will default to the lower (M−1) value
to maintain an even multiplier value. The multiplier is
followed by a set of dividers used to generate the output
clocks required for the sensor array, the pixel analog and
digital readout paths, and the output parallel and serial
interfaces. Use of the PLL is required when using the HiSPi
interface.

Stream/Standby Control
A specific sequence needs to be followed to enter and exit
from Soft Standby.
The sensor supports a soft standby mode. In this mode, the
external clock can be optionally disabled to further
minimize power consumption. If this is done, then the
“Power-Up Sequence” must be followed. When the external
clock is disabled, the sensor will be unresponsive to register
writes and other operations.
Soft Standby is a low-power state that is controlled
through register R0x301A[2]. The sensor will go to Standby
after completion of the current frame readout. When the
sensor comes back from Soft Standby, previously written
register settings are still maintained. Soft Standby will not
occur if the Trigger pin is held high.
Entering Soft Standby:
1. Set R0x301A[12] = 1 if serial mode was used
2. Set R0x301A[2] = 0 and drive Trigger pin low.
3. Turn off external clock to further minimize power
consumption
Exiting Soft Standby:
1. Enable external clock if it was turned off
2. Set R0x301A[2] = 1 or drive Trigger pin high.
3. Set R0x301A[12] = 0 if serial mode is used

SENSOR READOUT
Image Acquisition Modes

current resolution. In this mode, the end point of the
pixel integration time is controlled by an external
electromechanical shutter, and the AR0331 provides
control signals to interface to that shutter.
The AR0331 supports two image acquisition modes:
Electronic rolling shutter (ERS) mode:
This is the normal mode of operation. When the
AR0331 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 the same, 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
AR0331 switches cleanly from the old integration time
to the new while only generating frames with uniform
integration. See “Changes to Integration Time” in the
AR0331 Register Reference.
Global reset mode:
This mode can be used to acquire a single image at the
The benefit of using 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.
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.
Readout Modes
Horizontal Mirror
When the horiz_mirror bit (R0x3040[14]) is set in the
read_mode register, the order of pixel readout within a row
is reversed, so that readout starts from x_addr_end + 1 and
ends at x_addr_start. Figure 24 shows a sequence of 6 pixels
being read out with R0x3040[14] = 0 and R0x3040[14] = 1.

SUBSAMPLING
The AR0331 supports subsampling. Subsampling allows
the sensor to read out a smaller set of active pixels by either
skipping, binning, or summing pixels within the readout
window. The following examples are configured to use
either 2 x 2 or 3 x 3 subsampling.

each image and the pixel clock.

line_length_pck will determine the number of clock
periods per row and the row period (TROW) when combined
with the sensor readout clock. line_length_pck includes
both the active pixels and the horizontal blanking time per

Figure 21, allowing the sensor to output two pixels during
each pixel clock.
The minimum line_length_pck is defined as the
maximum of the following three equations:

frame_length_lines determines the number of row periods
(TROW) per frame. This includes both the active and
blanking rows. The minimum vertical blanking value is
defined by the number of OB rows read per frame, two
embedded data rows, and two blank rows. A minimum
number of idle rows equal to the T2 integration time should
be added in HDR mode to allow for changes in integration
time by an auto exposure algorithm. For example, if the
coarse integration time is 320 lines and the exposure ratio is
16x, then the minimum vertical blanking would be 8 + 2 +
2 + 20 = 32 rows. The minimum (default) number of idle
rows is 4.

SLAVE MODE
The slave mode feature of the AR0331 supports triggering
the start of a frame readout from a VD signal that is supplied
from an external ASIC. The slave mode signal allows for
precise control of frame rate and register change updates.
The VD signal is an edge triggered input to the trigger pin
and must be at least 3 PIXCLK cycles wide.

2. If the sensor integration time is configured to be
less than the frame period, then the sensor will not
have reset all of the sensor rows before it begins
waiting for the input VD signal. This error can be
minimized by configuring the frame period to be
as close as possible to the desired frame rate
(period between VD signals).
The row shutter and read operations will stop when the
slave mode becomes active and is waiting for the VD signal.
The following should be considered when configuring the
sensor to use the slave mode:
1. The frame period (TFRAME) should be configured
to be less than the period of the input VD signal.
The sensor will disregard the input VD signal if it
appears before the frame readout is finished.

will be ignored and will wait until the next VD pulse has
arrived.
To enter slave mode:
1. While in soft-standby, set R0x30CE[4] = 1 to enter
slave mode
2. Enable the input pins (TRIGGER) by setting
R0x301A[8] = 1
3. Enable streaming by setting R0x301A[2] = 1
4. Apply sync-pulses to the TRIGGER input
When the slave mode becomes active, the sensor will
pause both row read and row reset operations. (Note: The
row integration period is defined as the period from row
reset to row read.) The frame-time should therefore be
configured so that the slave mode “wait period” is as short
as possible. In the case where the sensor integration time is
shorter than the frame time, the “wait period” will only
increase the integration of the rows that have been reset
following the last VD pulse.
The period between slave mode pulses must also be
greater than the frame period. If the rising edge of the VD

to context A the sensor will reference the context A registers.
If the context switch is changed from A to B during the
readout of frame n, the sensor will then reference the context
B coarse_integration_time registers in frame n+1 and all
other context B registers at the beginning of reading frame
n+2. The sensor will show the same behavior when
changing from context B to context A.
All register writes are delayed by one frame. A register

Combi Mode
Compression
To facilitate faster switching between linear and HDR
modes, the AR0331 includes a Combi Mode feature. When
enabled, Combi Mode loads a single (HDR) sequencer.
When switching from HDR to linear modes, the sequencer
remains the same, but only the T1 image is output. While not
optimized for linear mode operation, it allows faster mode
switching as a new sequencer load is not needed. Combi
Mode is enabled by setting bit R0x30BA[8]. See the
AR0331 Developer Guide for more information on Combi
Mode.
When the AR0331 is configured for linear mode
operation, the sensor can optionally compress 12-bit data to
10-bit using A-law compression. The compression is
applied after the data pedestal has been added to the data. See
“Pedestals”.
The A-law compression is disabled by default and can be
enabled by setting R0x31D0 from “0” to “1”.

Temperature Sensor
PTAT device characteristic response is quite linear in the
temperature range of operation required, a simple linear
function in the format of the equation below can be used to
convert the ADC output value to the final temperature in
degrees Celsius.
The AR0331 sensor has a built-in PTAT-based
temperature sensor, accessible through registers, that is
capable of measuring die junction temperature.
The temperature sensor can be enabled by writing
R0x30B4[0]=1 and R0x30B4[4]=1. After this, the
temperature sensor output value can be read from
R0x30B2[9:0].
The value read out from the temperature sensor register is
an ADC output value that needs to be converted downstream
to a final temperature value in degrees Celsius. Since the
Temperature + slope
R0x30B2[9 : 0] ) T 0
(eq. 9)
For this conversion, a minimum of two known points are
needed to construct the line formula by identifying the slope
and y-intercept “T0”. These calibration values can be read
from registers R0x30C6 and R0x30C8, which correspond to

value read at 70°C and 55°C respectively. Once read, the
slope and y-intercept values can be calculated and used in
Equation 9.

Embedded Data and Statistics
The AR0331 has the capability to output image data and
statistics embedded within the frame timing. There are two
types of information embedded within the frame readout.
If enabled, these are displayed on the two rows
immediately before the first active pixel row is
displayed.
Embedded Statistics:
If enabled, these are displayed on the two rows
immediately after the last active pixel row is displayed.

Embedded Data
The embedded data contains the configuration of the
image being displayed. This includes all register settings
used to capture the current frame. The registers embedded
in these rows are as follows:
• Line 1: Registers R0x3000 to R0x312F
• Line 2: Registers R0x3136 to R0x31BF, R0x31D0 to
R0x31FF
Embedded Statistics
The embedded statistics contain frame identifiers and
histogram information of the image in the frame. This can be
used by downstream auto-exposure algorithm blocks to
make decisions about exposure adjustment.
This histogram is divided into 244 bins with a bin spacing
of 64 evenly spaced bins for digital code values 0 to 28, 120
evenly spaced bins for values 28 to 212, 60 evenly spaced
bins for values 212 to 216. In HDR with a 16x exposure ratio,
this approximately corresponds to the T1 and T2 exposures
respectively. The statistics found in line 2 are for backwards
compatibility. It is recommended that auto exposure
algorithms be developed using the histogram statistics on
line 1.
The first pixel of each line in the embedded statistics is a
tag value of 0x0B0. This signifies that all subsequent
statistics data is 10 bit data aligned to the MSB of the 12-bit
pixel.
Figure 36 summarizes how the embedded statistics
transmission looks like. It should be noted that data, as
shown in Figure 36, is aligned to the MSB of each word:
NOTE: All undefined registers will have a value of 0.
The format of the embedded register data transmission is
defined per the embedded data section of the SMIA
Function Specification.
In parallel mode, since the pixel word depth is 12
bits/pixel, the sensor 16-bit register data will be transferred
over 2 pixels where the register data will be broken up into
8 MSB and 8 LSB. The alignment of the 8-bit data will be
on the 8 MSB bits of the 12-bit pixel word. For example, if
a register value of 0x1234 is to be transmitted, it will be
transmitted over two, 12-bit pixels as follows: 0x120,
0x340.

Test Patterns
The statistics embedded in these rows are as follows:
The AR0331 has the capability of injecting a number of
test patterns into the top of the datapath to debug the digital
logic. With one of the test patterns activated, any of the
datapath functions can be enabled to exercise it in a
deterministic fashion. Test patterns are selected by
Test_Pattern_Mode register (R0x3070). Only one of the test
patterns can be enabled at a given point in time by setting the
Test_Pattern_Mode register according to Table 20. When
test patterns are enabled the active area will receive the value
specified by the selected test pattern and the dark pixels will
receive the value in Test_Pattern_Green (R0x3074 and
R0x3078) for green pixels, Test_Pattern_Blue (R0x3076)
for blue pixels, and Test_Pattern_Red (R0x3072) for red
pixels.

AR0331
TWO-WIRE SERIAL REGISTER INTERFACE
The two-wire serial interface bus enables read/write
access to control and status registers within the AR0331.
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_IO
off-chip by a 1.5 kΩ 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 SCLKLOW; the
AR0331 uses SCLK as an input only and therefore never
drives it LOW.
address) and 0x21 (read address) in accordance with the
specification. Alternate slave addresses of 0x30 (write
address) and 0x31 (read address) can be selected by enabling
and asserting the SADDR input.
An alternate slave address 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. As for data transfers, SDATA can change when SCLK
is LOW and must be stable while SCLK is HIGH.
Protocol
Data transfers on the two-wire serial interface bus are
performed by a sequence of low-level 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
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.
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.
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,
8 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 data transfer is stopped when the master
sends a no-acknowledge bit.
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 AR0331 are 0x20 (write

register data. The master terminates the READ by
generating a no-acknowledge bit followed by a stop
condition. Figure 37 shows how the internal register address
maintained by the AR0331 is loaded and incremented as the
sequence proceeds.
This sequence (Figure 37) starts with a dummy WRITE to
the 16-bit address that is to be used for the READ. 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

HiSPi Electrical Specifications
supply in this datasheet corresponds to VDD_TX in the
HiSPi Physical Layer Specification. Similarly, VDD is
equivalent to VDD_HiSPi as referenced in the specification.
The DLL as implemented on AR0331 is limited in the
number of available delay steps and differs from the HiSPi
specification as described in this section.
The ON Semiconductor AR0331 sensor supports both
SLVS and HiVCM HiSPi modes. Please refer to the
High-Speed Serial Pixel (HiSPi) Interface Physical Layer
Specification v2.00.00 for electrical definitions,
specifications, and timing information. The VDD_SLVS

POWER-ON RESET AND STANDBY TIMING
Power-Up Sequence
6. After the last power supply is stable, enable
EXTCLK
7. Assert RESET_BAR for at least 1 ms. The parallel
interface will be tri-stated during this time
8. Wait 150000 EXTCLKs (for internal initialization
into software standby
9. Configure PLL, output, and image settings to
desired values
10. Wait 1ms for the PLL to lock
11. Set streaming mode (R0x301a[2] = 1)
The recommended power-up sequence for the AR0331 is
shown in Figure 46. The available power supplies (VDD_IO,
VDD, VDD_SLVS, VDD_PLL, VAA, VAA_PIX) must have the
separation specified below.
1. Turn on VDD_PLL power supply
2. After 100 μs, turn on VAA and VAA_PIX power
supply
3. After 100 μs, turn on VDD_IO power supply
4. After 100 μs, turn on VDD power supply
5. After 100 μs, turn on VDD_SLVS power supply

1. Xtal settling time is component-dependent, usually taking about 10 – 100 mS.
2. Hard reset time is the minimum time required after power rails are settled. In a circuit where Hard reset is held down by RC circuit, then the
RC time must include the all power rail settle time and Xtal settle time.
3. It is critical that VDD_PLL is not powered up after the other power supplies. It must be powered before or at least at the same time as the
others. If the case happens that VDD_PLL is powered after other supplies then sensor may have functionality issues and will experience high
current draw on this supply.
Power-Down Sequence
2. The soft standby state is reached after the current
row or frame, depending on configuration, has
ended
3. Turn off VDD_SLVS
4. Turn off VDD
5. Turn off VDD_IO
6. Turn off VAA/VAA_PIX
7. Turn off VDD_PLL
The recommended power-down sequence for the AR0331
is shown in Figure 47. The available power supplies
(VDD_IO, VDD, VDD_SLVS, VDD_PLL, VAA, VAA_PIX)
must have the separation specified below.
