Description
The VITA 25K is a 5120 x 5120 CMOS image sensor delivering high resolution images at frame rates up to 53 frames per
second. The high sensitivity 4.5 mm x 4.5 mm pixels support pipelined and triggered global shutter readout modes and can also
be operated in a low noise rolling shutter mode. In rolling shutter mode, the sensor supports correlated double sampling readout,
reducing noise and increasing the dynamic range.
The sensor has on-chip programmable gain amplifiers and 10-bit A/D converters. The image’s black level is either calibrated
automatically or can be adjusted by adding a user programmable offset.
A high level of programmability using a four wire serial peripheral interface enables the user to read out specific regions
of interest. Up to 32 regions can be programmed, achieving even higher frame rates.
The image data interface consists of 32 LVDS lanes. Each channel runs at 620 Mbps. A separate synchronization channel
containing payload information is provided to facilitate the image reconstruction at the receive end.
The VITA 25K is packaged in a ceramic 355-pin mPGA package and is available in a monochrome, color and windowless
versions.

Stresses exceeding Maximum Ratings may damage the device. Maximum Ratings are stress ratings only. Functional operation above the
Recommended Operating Conditions is not implied. Extended exposure to stresses above the Recommended Operating Conditions may affect
device reliability.
1. The ADC is 11-bit, down-scaled to 10-bit. The VITA 25K uses a larger word-length internally to provide 10-bit on the output.
2. Operating ratings are conditions in which operation of the device is intended to be functional.
3. ON Semiconductor recommends that customers become familiar with, and follow the procedures in JEDEC Standard JESD625−A. Refer
to Application Note AN52561. Long term exposure toward the maximum storage temperature will accelerate color filter degradation.
4. Caution needs to be taken to avoid dried stains on the underside of the glass due to condensation. The glass lid glue is permeable and can
absorb moisture if the sensor is placed in a high % RH environment.

Color Filter Array
The VITA 25K color sensor is processed with a Bayer
RGB color pattern as shown in Figure 2. Pixel (0,0) has a red
filter situated to the bottom left. Green1 and green2 have a
slightly different spectral response due to (optical) cross talk
from neighboring pixels. Green1 pixels are located on a
green-red row, green2 pixels are located on a blue-green
row.
Figure 3 depicts the spectral response for the mono and
color devices. Figure 4 shows the photovoltaic response for
the VITA 25K.

OVERVIEW
Depending on the operating mode, eight or ten bits are fed
into the data formatting block. This block adds
synchronization information to the data stream based on the
frame timing. The data then goes to the low voltage serial
(LVDS) interface block that sends the data out through the
I/O ring.
On-chip programmability is controlled through the Serial
Peripheral Interface (SPI). See Register Map on page 43 for
register details. A bias block generates bias currents and
voltages for all analog blocks on the chip. By controlling the
bias current, the speed-versus-power of each block can be
tuned. All biasing programmability is contained in the bias
block.
Figure 5 gives an overview of all functional blocks in the
image sensor. The system clock is received by the LVDS
clock receiver block and distributed to other blocks. The
sequencer defines the sensor timing and controls the image
core. The sequencer is started either autonomously (master
mode) or on assertion of an external trigger (slave mode).
The image core contains all pixels and readout circuits. The
column structure selects pixels for readout and performs
correlated double sampling (CDS) or double sampling (DS).
The data comes out sequentially and is fed into the analog
front end (AFE) block. The programmable gain amplifier
(PGA) of the AFE adds the offset and gain. The output is a
fully differential analog signal that goes to the ADC, where
the analog signal is converted to a 10-bit data stream.

The pixel array contains 5120 x 5120 readable pixels with
a pixel pitch of 4.5 mm. Four dummy pixel rows and columns
are placed at every side of the pixel array to eliminate
possible edge effects. The sensor uses a 5T pixel
architecture, which makes it possible to read out the pixel

array in global shutter mode with DS, or rolling shutter mode
with CDS.
The function of the row drivers is to access the image array
line by line, or all lines together, to reset or read the pixel
data. The row drivers are controlled by the on-chip
sequencer and can access the pixel array in global and rolling
shutter modes.
The pixel biasing block guarantees that the data on a pixel
is transferred properly to the column multiplexer when the
row drivers select a pixel line for readout.
The AFE contains 64 channels, each containing a PGA
and a 10-bit ADC. The PGA can be programmed to apply a
gain of 1x, 1.39x, 1.94x, and 2.72x to the image signal.
Together with the gain applied in the column multiplexer, a
total signal gain of 10x can be achieved.
For each of the 64 channels, a pipelined 10-bit ADC is
used to convert the analog image data into a digital signal,
which is delivered to the data formatting block. A black
calibration loop is implemented to ensure that the black level
is mapped to match the correct ADC input level.
Pixel Biasing
Data Formatting
The data block receives data from two ADCs and
multiplexes this data to one LVDS block. A cyclic
redundancy check (CRC) code is calculated on the passing
data. For each LVDS output channel, one data block is
instantiated. An extra data block is foreseen to transmit
synchronization codes such as frame start, line start, frame
end, and line end indications.
The data block calculates a CRC once per line for every
channel. This CRC code can be used for error detection at the
receiving end.

The serializer and LVDS interface block receives the
formatted (10-bit or 8-bit) data from the data formatting
block. This data is serialized and transmitted by the LVDS
output driver.
In 10-bit mode, the maximum output data bit rate is
620 Mbps per channel. In 8-bit mode, the maximum output
data bit rate is 496 Mbps per channel.
In addition to the 32 LVDS data outputs, two extra LVDS
outputs are available. One of these outputs carries the output
clock, which is skew aligned to the output data channels. The
second LVDS output contains frame format synchronization
codes to serve system-level image reconstruction.
Figure 6. Image Core Diagram
LVDS Clock Receiver
The LVDS clock receiver receives an LVDS clock signal
and distributes the required clocks to the sensor.
Typical input clock frequency is 310 MHz in 10-bit mode
and 248 MHz in 8-bit mode. The clock input needs to be
terminated with a 100 W resistor.
Column Multiplexer
The 5120 pixels of one image row are stored in 5120
column sample-and-hold (S/H) stages. These stages store
both the reset and integrated signal levels.
The data stored in the column S/H stages is read out
through 64 parallel differential outputs operating at a
frequency of 31 MHz.
At this stage, the reset signal and integrated signal values
are transferred into an FPN-corrected differential signal. A
programmable gain of 1x, 2x, or 4x can be applied to the
signal at this stage. The column multiplexer also supports a
subsampled readout mode (read-1-skip-1 for mono and
read-2-skip-2 for color version). Enabling this mode can
speed up the frame rate, with a decrease in resolution.

Bias Generator
•
The bias generator generates all required reference
voltages and bias currents that the on-chip blocks use. An
external resistor of 47 kW, connected between the pins
ibias_master and gnda_33 is required for the bias generator
to operate properly.
The sequencer is responsible for the following tasks:
Controls the image core. Starts and stops integration in
rolling and global shutter modes and control pixel
readout.
Operates the sensor in master or slave mode.
Applies the window settings. Organizes readouts so that
only the configured windows are read.
Controls the column multiplexer and analog core.
Applies gain settings and subsampling modes at the
correct time, without corrupting image data.
Starts up the sensor correctly when leaving standby
mode.

OPERATING MODES
a frame overhead time (FOT), during which the analog value
on the pixel diode is transferred to the pixel memory
element. After the FOT, the sensor is read out line by line and
the readout of each line is preceded by the row overhead time
(ROT).
This sensor supports multiple operation modes. The
following list provides an overview.
• Global Shutter mode
♦ Pipelined global shutter mode
- Master mode
- Slave mode
♦ Triggered global shutter
- Master mode

• Rolling shutter mode
• Multiple windowing readout
♦ Flexible window configuration
♦ Processing multiple windows in Global Shutter
mode
• Subsampling and binning
♦ Pixel binning
♦ Subsampling
Global Shutter Mode
In a global shutter mode, light integration takes place on
all pixels in sync, although subsequent readout is sequential,
as shown in Figure 7. Figure 8 shows the integration and
readout sequence for the global shutter. All pixels are light
sensitive at the same time. The whole pixel core is reset
simultaneously and, after the integration time, all pixel
values are sampled together on the storage node inside each
pixel. The pixel core is read out line by line after integration.
The integration and readout can occur in parallel or
sequentially.
The integration starts at a certain period, relative to the
frame start.
Figure 7. Global Shutter Operation
Master Mode
In this operation mode, the integration time is set through
the register interface and the sensor integrates and reads out
the images autonomously. The sensor acquires images
without any user interaction.
Slave Mode
The slave mode adds more manual control to the sensor.
The integration time registers are ignored in this mode and
the integration time is instead controlled by an external pin.
As soon as the control pin is asserted, the pixel array goes out
of reset and integration starts. The integration continues
until the user or system deasserts the external pin. Upon a

Figure 9. Pipelined Shutter Operated in Slave Mode
Master Mode
Triggered Global Shutter
In this mode, manual intervention is required to control
both the integration time and the start of readout. After the
integration time, indicated by a user controlled pin, the
image core is read out. After this sequence, the sensor goes
to an idle mode until a new user action is detected.
The three main differences from the pipelined shutter
master mode are:
• Upon user action, a single image is read.
• Normally, integration and readout are done
sequentially. However, the user can control the sensor
in such a way that two consecutive batches are
overlapping, that is, having concurrent integration and
readout.
• Integration and readout is user-controlled through an
external pin.
As shown in Figure 10, in the master mode a rising edge
on the synchronization pin is used to trigger the start of
integration and readout. The integration time is defined by
a register setting. The sensor autonomously integrates
during this predefined time, after which the FOT starts and
the image array is read out sequentially. A falling edge on the
synchronization pin does not have any impact on the readout
or integration and subsequent frames are started again for
each rising edge.
Slave Mode
Integration time control is identical to the pipelined
shutter slave mode, in which both integration time and
readout requests are controlled by an external trigger. An
external synchronization pin controls the start of integration.
The moment it is deasserted, the FOT starts. At this time, the
analog value on the pixel diode is transferred to the pixel
memory element and the image readout can start. A request
for a new frame is started when the synchronization pin is
asserted again.
The triggered global mode can also be controlled in a
master or in a slave mode.

Rolling Shutter Mode
In rolling shutter mode, a second pointer indicates the
rows that need to be reset for the rolling shutter mechanism.
The distance between the reset pointer and the readout
pointer determines the integration time.
The VITA 25K supports dynamic exposure time updates
without artifacts or interrupting the image data stream.
The sensor also supports the rolling shutter mode. The
shutter mechanism is an electronic rolling shutter and the
sensor operates in streaming mode similar to a video. This
mechanism is controlled by the on-chip sequencer logic.
There are two Y pointers, as indicated in Figure 11. One of
them points to the row that is to be reset for rolling shutter
operation and the other points to the row to be read out.
Functionally, a row is reset first and selected for readout
later. The time elapsed between these two operations is the
exposure time.
Figure 11 schematically indicates the relative shift of the
integration times of different lines during rolling shutter
operation. Each row is read and reset sequentially, as
described in the previous paragraph. Each row in a particular
frame is integrated for the same time, but all lines in a frame
‘see’ a different stare time. Therefore, fast horizontal
moving objects in the field of view give rise to motion
artifacts in the image; this is an unavoidable property of a
rolling shutter.

SENSOR OPERATION
Operation Flowchart
The states above are ordered by power dissipation.
Clearly, in ‘power-off’ state the power dissipation will be
minimal; in ‘running’ state the power dissipation will be
maximal.
On the other hand, the lower the power consumption, the
more actions (and time) are required to put the sensor in
‘running’ state and grabbing images.
This flowchart provides the trade-offs between power
saving and enabling time of the sensor.
Next to the ‘states’ a set of ‘user actions’, indicated by
arrows, are included in the flow chart diagram. These user
actions make it possible to move from one state to another.
Figure 12 shows the flow chart diagram of the sensor
operation. The sensor can be in five different ‘states’. Every
state is indicated with the oval circle. These states are:
• Power-Off
• Standby (1)
• Standby (2)
• Idle
• Running

mode:
• 8-bit
• 10-bit
Idle
In the idle state, all sensor clocks are running and all
blocks are enabled, except the sequencer block. The sensor
is ready to start grabbing images as soon as the sequencer
block is enabled.
Running
In running state, the sensor is enabled and grabbing
images. The sensor can be operated in different
rolling/global master/slave modes.
The input clock frequencies to achieve a frame rate of
53 frames/s are listed in Table 7.

Figure 13 shows the power-up timing of the sensor. Apply
all power supplies in the order shown in the figure. It is
important to comply with the described sequence. Any

peaks and, as consequence, a failure of the sensor power up
When all the supplies are stable, enable the sensor clock
signal; then deassert the reset_n signal. After leaving the
hard-reset mode, the sensor enters the standby (1) state. To
go to the standby (2) mode, the sensor requires the
reconfiguration of some registers. This reconfiguration can
be applied 10 ms after the hard reset is released.

Shutter and Operation Mode Reconfiguration
The VITA 25K sensor operates in two shutter modes:
global shutter and rolling shutter. The global shutter mode
can be combined with a set of operation modes, as described
Operation Modes on page 11.
These modes can be combined with subsampling and
binning modes.
The shutter and operation modes are controlled by register
192, when the sensor is in standby or idle mode. Table 15
gives an overview of the available register settings to control
the shutter and operation modes. During this action, only the
fields listed in Table 15 are affected. All other settings
encapsulated in register 192 must remain unchanged.
Description
Windowing Reconfiguration
The windowing settings can be configured during
standby, idle, and running mode.
The required regions of interest (ROI) can be programmed
in the roi_configuration registers (addresses 256 up to 351).
Registers roi_active0 and roi_active1 are used to activate the
desired ROIs.
Default window configuration (after sensor reset) is one
window, full frame (window #0).

Sensor Configuration
Static Readout Parameters
Some registers are only modified when the sensor is not
acquiring images. Reconfiguration of these registers while
images are acquired can cause corrupted frames or even
interrupt the image acquisition. Therefore, it is
recommended to modify these static configurations while
the sequencer is disabled (register 192[0] = 0). The registers
shown in Table 16. Table 16 should not be reconfigured
during image acquisition. A specific configuration sequence
applies for these registers. Refer to the operation flow and
startup description.
This device contains multiple configuration registers.
Some of these registers can only be configured while the
sensor is not acquiring images (while register 192[0] = 0),
while others can be configured while the sensor is acquiring
images. For the latter category of registers, it is possible to
distinguish the register set that can cause corrupted images
(limited number of images containing visible artifacts) from
the set of registers that are not causing corrupted images.
These three categories are described here.

Reconfiguration of these registers may have an impact on the black-level calibration

Incorrect sync codes may be generated during the frame in which these registers

Some reconfiguration may lead to one frame being
blanked. This happens when the modification requires more
than one frame to settle. The image is blanked out and
training patterns are transmitted on the data and sync
channels.
Dynamic Readout Parameters
It is possible to reconfigure the sensor while it is acquiring
images. Frame-related parameters are internally
resynchronized to frame boundaries, such that the modified
parameter does not affect a frame that has already started.
However, there can be restrictions to some registers as

256–351
Optionally, it is possible to blank out one frame after reconfiguration of the active ROIs in
rolling shutter mode. Therefore, register 206[8] must be asserted (blank_roi_switch configuration).
An ROI switch is only detected when a new window is selected as the active window (reconfiguration of registers 195, 196, or both). Reconfiguration of the ROI dimension of the
active window does not lead to a frame blank and can cause a corrupted image.
Exposure reconfiguration
199-201
Exposure reconfiguration does not cause artifact. However, a latency of one frame is observed unless reg_seq_exposure_sync_mode is set to ‘1’ in triggered global mode (master).
204
Gains are synchronized at the start of a new frame. Optionally, one frame latency can be
incorporated to align the gain updates to the exposure updates (refer to register 204[13] gain_lat_comp).
Gain reconfiguration
Figure 15 shows a reconfiguration that does not use the
sync_configuration option. As depicted, new SPI
configurations are synchronized to frame boundaries.
With sync_configuration = ‘1’. Configurations are
synchronized to the frame boundaries (The registers
exposure, fr_length, and mult_timer are not used in this
mode)
Figure 16 shows the usage of the sync_configuration
settings. Before uploading a set of registers, the
corresponding sync_configuration is deasserted. After the
upload is completed, the sync_configuration is asserted
again and the sensor resynchronizes its set of registers to the
coming frame boundaries. As seen in the figure, this ensures
that the uploads performed at the end of frame N+2 and the
start of frame N+3 become active in the same frame (frame
N+4).
Freezing Active Configurations
Though the readout parameters are synchronized to frame
boundaries, an update of multiple registers can still lead to
a transient effect in the subsequent images, as some
configurations require multiple register uploads. For
example, to reconfigure the exposure time in master global
mode, both the fr_length and exposure registers need to be
updated. Internally, the sensor synchronizes these
configurations to frame boundaries, but it is still possible
that the reconfiguration of multiple registers spans over two
or even more frames. To avoid inconsistent combinations,
freeze the active settings while altering the SPI registers by
disabling synchronization for the corresponding
functionality before reconfiguration. When all registers are
uploaded, re-enable the synchronization. The sensor’s
sequencer then updates its active set of registers and uses
them for the coming frames. The freezing of the active set
of registers can be programmed in the sync_configuration
registers, which can be found at the SPI address 206.

Window Configuration
different windows might result in a corrupted frame. This is
inherent in the rolling shutter mechanism, where each line
must be reset sequentially before being read out. This
corrupted window can be blanked out by setting register
206[8]. In this case, a dead time is noted on the LVDS
interface when the window-switch occurs in the sensor.
During this blank out, training patterns are sent out on the
data and sync channels for the duration of one frame.
Global Shutter Mode
Up to 32 windows can be defined in global shutter mode
(pipelined or triggered). The windows are defined by
registers 256 to 351. Each window can be activated or
deactivated separately using registers 195 and 196. It is
possible to reconfigure the inactive windows while
acquiring images. Switching between prederfined windows
is achieved by activation of the respective windows. This
way a minimum number of registers need to be uploaded
when it is necessary to switch between two or more sets of
windows. As an example of this, scanning the scene at
higher frame rates using multiple windows and switching to
full frame capture when the object is tracked. Switching
between the two modes only requires an upload of one (if the
total number of windows is smaller than 17) or two (if more
than 16 windows are defined) registers.
Black Calibration
The sensor automatically calibrates the black level for
each frame. Therefore, the device generates a configurable
number of electrical black lines at the start of each frame.
The desired black level in the resulting output interface can
be configured and is not necessarily targeted to ‘0’.
Configuring the target to a higher level yields some
information on the left side of the black level distribution,
while the other end of the distribution tail is clipped to ‘0’
when setting the black level target to ‘0’.
The black level is calibrated for the 64 columns contained
in one kernel. This implies 64 black level offsets are
generated and applied to the corresponding columns.
Configurable parameters for the black-level algorithm are
listed in Table 20.
Rolling Shutter Mode
In rolling shutter mode it is not possible to read multiple
windows. Do not activate more than one window (registers
205–206). However, it is possible to configure more than
one window and dynamically switch between the different
window configurations. Note that switching between two

black_lines
This register configures the number of black lines that are generated at the start of a
frame. At least one black line must be generated. The maximum number is 255.
Note: When the automatic black-level calibration algorithm is enabled, make sure that this
register is configured properly to produce sufficient black pixels for the black-level filtering.
The number of black pixels generated per line is dependent on the operation mode and
window configurations:
Global Shutter - Each black line contains 80 kernels.
Rolling Shutter - As the line length is fundamental for rolling shutter operation, the length of
a black line is defined by the active window.
gate_first_line
When asserting this configuration, the first black line of the frame is blanked out and is not
used for black calibration. It is recommended to enable this functionality, because the first
line can have a different behavior caused by boundary effects. When enabling, the number
of black lines must be set to at least two in order to have valid black samples for the calibration algorithm.
auto_blackcal_enable
Internal black-level calibration functionality is enabled when set to ‘1’. Required black level
offset compensation is calculated on the black samples and applied to all image pixels.
When set to ‘0’, the automatic black-level calibration functionality is disabled. It is possible
to apply an offset compensation to the image pixels, which is defined by the registers
129[10:1].
Note: Black sample pixels are not compensated; the raw data is sent out to provide external statistics and, optionally, calibrations.
129[9:1]
blackcal_offset
Black calibration offset that is added or subtracted to each regular pixel value when auto_blackcal_enable is set to ‘0’. The sign of the offset is determined by register 129[10]
(blackcal_offset_dec).
Note: All channels use the same offset compensation when automatic black calibration is
disabled.
The calculated black calibration factors are frozen when this register is set to 0x1FF
(all−‘1’) in auto calibration mode. Any value different from 0x1FF re−enables the black
calibration algorithm. This freezing option can be used to prevent eventual frame to frame
jitter on the black level as the correction factors are recalculated every frame. It is recommended to enable the black calibration regularly to compensate for temperature changes.
129[10]
blackcal_offset_dec
Sign of blackcal_offset. If set to ‘0’, the black calibration offset is added to each pixel. If set
to ‘1’, the black calibration offset is subtracted from each pixel.
This register is not used when auto_blackcal_enable is set to ‘1’.
black_samples
The black samples are low-pass filtered before being used for black level calculation. The
more samples are taken into account, the more accurate the calibration, but more samples
require more black lines, which in turn affects the frame rate.
The effective number of samples taken into account for filtering is 2black_samples.
Note: An error is reported by the device if more samples than available are requested
(refer to registers 136 to 139).

An error is reported by the device if there are requests for more samples than are available
(each bit corresponding to one data path). The black level is not compensated correctly if
one of the channels indicates an error. There are three possible methods to overcome this
situation and to perform a correct offset compensation:
• Increase the number of black lines such that enough samples are generated at the
cost of increasing frame time (refer to register 197).
• Relax the black calibration filtering at the cost of less accurate black level determination (refer to register 128).
• Disable automatic black level calibration and provide the offset via SPI register upload.
Note that the black level can drift in function of the temperature. It is thus recommended
to perform the offset calibration periodically to avoid this drift.
NOTE: The maximum number of samples taken into account for black level statistics is half the number of kernels.

significant bit first. The sck clock is passed
through to the sensor as indicated in Figure 17.
The sensor samples this data on a rising edge of
the sck clock (mosi needs to be driven by the
system on the falling edge of the sck clock)
3. The tenth bit sent by the master indicates the type
of transfer: high for a write command, low for a
read command.
4. Data transmission:
- For write commands, the master continues
sending the 16-bit data, most significant bit first.
- For read commands, the sensor returns the
requested address on the miso pin, most significant
bit first. The miso pin must be sampled by the
system on the falling edge of sck (assuming
nominal system clock frequency and maximum
10 MHz SPI frequency).
5. When data transmission is complete, the system
deselects the sensor one clock period after the last
bit transmission by pulling ss_n high.
Maximum frequency for the SPI is 1/30th (in 10-bit mode)
and 1/24th (in 8-bit mode) of the LVDS input clock
frequency. For nominal input frequency (310 MHz /
248 MHz), this is 10 MHz.
Bursts of SPI commands can be issued by leaving at least
two SPI clock periods between two register uploads.
Deselect the chip between the SPI uploads by pulling the
ss_n pin high.
The sensor configuration registers are accessed through
an SPI. The SPI consists of four wires:
• sck: Serial Clock
• ss_n: Active Low Slave Select
• mosi: Master Out, Slave In, or Serial Data In
• miso: Master In, Slave Out, or Serial Data Out
The SPI is synchronous to the clock provided by the
master (sck) and asynchronous to the sensor’s system clock.
When the master wants to write or read a sensor’s register,
it selects the chip by pulling down the Slave Select line
(ss_n). When selected, data is sent serially and synchronous
to the SPI clock (sck).
Figure 17 shows the communication protocol for read and
write accesses of the SPI registers. The VITA 25K sensor
uses 9-bit addresses and 16-bit data words
Data driven by the system is colored blue in Figure 17,
while data driven by the sensor is colored yellow. The data
in grey indicates high-Z periods on the miso interface. Red
markers indicate sampling points for the sensor (mosi
sampling); green markers indicate sampling points for the
system (miso sampling during read operations).
The access sequence is:
1. Select the sensor for read or write by pulling down
the ss_n line.
2. One SPI clock cycle (100 ns) after selecting the
sensor, the 9-bit address is transferred, most

IMAGE SENSOR TIMING AND READOUT
Global Shutter Mode
exposure time. The length of the exposure time is defined by
the registers exposure and mult_timer.
NOTES:
• The start of the exposure time is synchronized to the
start of a new line (during ROT) if the exposure period
starts during a frame readout. Therefore, the effective
time during which the image core is in a reset state is
extended to the start of a new line.
• Make sure that the sum of the reset time and exposure
time exceeds the time required to read out all lines. If
this is not the case, the exposure time is extended until
all (active) lines are read out.
Pipelined Global Mode (Master)
The sensor timing in master global shutter mode is
controlled by the user by means of configuration registers.
One can distinguish three parameters for the frame timing in
global shutter mode:
• Image Array Reset Length
• Integration Time
• Frame Length
The relation between these parameters is:
Frame Length = Reset Length + Integration Time
The FOT time needs to be added to the frame length
parameter to determine the total frame Time
Total Frame Time = FOT Time + Frame Length
Frame and integration time configuration can be controlled
in two ways:
1. fr_mode = 0x0
The reset length and integration time is configured
by the user. The sensor shall calculate the frame
length as the sum of both parameters.
2. fr_mode = 0x1
The frame length and integration time is
configured by the user. The reset time during
which the pixels are reset, is calculated by the
sensor as being the difference between the frame
length and the desired integration time.
The configuration registers are exposure[15:0] and
fr_length[15:0]. The latter configuration registers is either
used as Reset Length configuration (fr_mode = 0x0) or as
Frame Length (fr_mode = 0x’1). The granularity of both
registers is defined by the mult_timer[15:0] register and is
expressed in number of 62 MHz cycles (16.129 ns nominal).
Frame Length and Integration Time as Parameters
When fr_mode is configured to 0x1, one configures the
frame time and exposure. The reset_length is determined by
the sequencer. This configuration mode is depicted in
Figure 2.
The frame length is configured in register fr_length, while
the integration time is configured in register exposure. The
mult_timer register defines granularity of both settings.
Note that the FOT needs to be added to the configured
fr_length to calculate the total frame time.
Triggered Global Shutter (Master)
In master triggered global mode, the start of integration
time is controlled by a rising edge on the trigger pin. The
exposure or integration time is defined by the registers
exposure and mult_timer, similar to the master pipelined
global mode. The fr_length configuration is not used. This
operation is graphically shown in Figure 20.
NOTES:
• The falling edge on the trigger pin does not have any
impact. However, the trigger must be asserted for at
least 100 ns.
• The start of the exposure time is synchronized to the
start of a new line (during ROT) if the exposure period
starts during a frame readout. Therefore, the effective
time during which the image core is in reset state is
extended to the start of a new line.
• The trigger pin needs to be kept low during the FOT.
The monitor pins can be used as a feedback to the
FPGA/controller (eg. use monitor0, indicating the very
first line when monitor_select = 0x5 − a new trigger can
be initiated after a rising edge on monitor0).
Reset Length and Integration Time as Parameters
The reset time for the pixel array is controlled by the
registers fr_length[15:0] and exposure[15:0]. The
mult_timer configuration defines the granularity of the
registers fr_length and exposure and is to be read as the
number of 62 MHz cycles (16.129 ns nominal).
The exposure control for pipelined global master mode is
depicted in Figure 18.
The pixel values are transferred to the storage node during
the FOT, after which all photo diodes are reset. The reset
state remains active for a certain time, defined by the
fr_length and mult_timer registers, as shown in the figure.
Meanwhile, the image array is read out line by line. After
this reset period, the global photodiode reset condition is
abandoned. This indicates the start of the integration or
If the exposure timer expires before the end of readout, the
exposure time is extended until the end of the last active line.

Triggered Global Shutter (Slave)
Exposure or integration time is fully controlled by means
of the trigger pin in slave mode. The register’s fr_length,
exposure, and mult_timer are ignored by the sensor.
A rising edge on the trigger pin indicates the start of the
exposure time, while a falling edge initiates the transfer and
readout of the image array. In other words, the high time of
the trigger pin indicates the integration time, the period of
the trigger pin indicates the frame time.
The use of the trigger during slave mode is shown in
Figure 21.
NOTES:
• The start of the exposure time is synchronized to the
start of a new line (during ROT) if the exposure period
•
•
starts during a frame readout. Therefore, the effective
time during which the image core is in a reset state is
extended to the start of a new line.
If the trigger is deasserted before the end of readout, the
exposure time is extended until the end of the last
active line. Consequently the FOT and start of frame
readout is postponed accordingly.
The trigger pin needs to be kept low during the FOT.
The monitor pins can be used as a feedback to the
FPGA/controller (eg. use monitor0, indicating the very
first line when monitor_select = 0x5 − a new trigger can
be initiated after a rising edge on monitor0).

Rolling Shutter Mode
The rolling shutter exposure mechanism is graphically
shown in Figure 22.
The duration of one line is the sum of ROT and the time
required to read out one line (depending on the number of
active kernels in the window). Optionally, this readout time
can be extended by the configuration rs_x_length. This
register, expressed in number of periods of the logic clock
(16.129 ns nominal), determines the length of the x-readout.
However, the minimum length is governed by the window
size (x-size).
The exposure time during rolling shutter mode is always
an integer multiple of line-times. The exposure time is
defined by the register exposure and expressed in number of
lines. The register fr_length and mult_timer are not used in
this mode.
The maximum exposure time is limited by the frame time.
It is possible to increase the exposure time at the cost of the
frame rate by adding so called dummy lines. A dummy line
lasts for the same time as a regular line, but no pixel data is
transferred to the system. The number of dummy lines is
controlled by the register dummy_lines.

Figure 24. Overlapping Multiple Window
Configuration
For each line to be scanned, the sequencer control block
analyzes which windows must be read out, from left to right.
The following restrictions apply to the window
configurations (they must be valid for each line):
• For each line, the windows are ordered from left to
right, based on their x-start address:
x_start_roi(i) £ x_start_roi(j) where j > i
• Overlapping in the x-direction is restricted to simple
window overlapping schemes. When a new window is
started, it needs to continue at least until the end of the
previous window. In other words, it is not possible to
start a window M, overlap with a window M+1, and at
the end of window M+1, re-enter window M. The end
of window M+1 must coincide or be larger than the end
of window M:
x_end_roi(i) £ x_end_roi(j) where j > i
• For subsampling and binning modes, the start addresses
are restricted to even addresses; the end addresses are
restricted to even addresses for subsampling and odd
addresses for binning. Erroneous start and end
addresses are corrected by the sensor logic.
• There are no restrictions on the y-start and y-end
addresses for normal readout.
x-start x-end
Figure 23. Region of Interest Configuration
Figure 23 shows the four parameters defining a region of
interest (ROI). These parameters are explained here.
• x-start[6:0]
x-start defines the x-starting point of the desired window.
The sensor reads out 64 pixels in a single clock cycle.
Therefore, the granularity for configuring the x-start
position is also 64 pixels. To find the corresponding column
in the pixel array, multiply the value in the x-start register by
64.
• x-end[6:0]
This register defines the window end point on the x-axis.
As for x-start, the granularity for this configuration is one
kernel. x-end must be larger than x-start. The minimal
window width is two kernels.
• y-start[12:0]
This is the start line of the readout window. The
granularity of this setting is one line.
• y-end[12:0]
This is the end line of the readout window. y-end must be
configured larger than y-start. This setting has the same
granularity as the y-start configuration.
Processing Multiple Windows
Global Shutter
The multiple windowing mechanism described in this
section is only valid for the global shutter operation mode.
The sequencer control block houses two sets of counters
to construct the image frame. As previously described, the
y-counter indicates the line that needs to be read out and is
incremented at the end of each line. For the start of the frame,
the y-counter is initialized to the y-start address of the first
window. It runs until the y-end address of the last window
The configuration width of the required settings is
mentioned between brackets. Seven bits are required for the
x boundaries, 13 bits for the y boundaries.
Up to 32 windows can be defined, possibly (partially)
overlapping. Figure 24 illustrates the use of overlapping
windows. Note that pixel (0,0) is located in the left bottom
corner.

to be read out. Note that the last window is configured by the
configuration registers and is not necessarily window #31.
The x-counter starts counting from the x-start address of
the window with the lowest ID that is active on the addressed
line. Only windows in which the current y-address is
enclosed are taken into account for scanning. Other
windows are skipped.
•
Rolling Shutter
Multiple windowing is not supported in rolling shutter
mode. Only single-window readout is possible. The active
window can be selected among the 32 windows in the
configuration. Dynamic window reconfiguration (or
dynamic selection of a different window configuration) is
supported. Eventual corrupted images due to transients are
blanked out in the sensor.

line addressed. This window is not necessarily window
#0.
The x-pointer is not necessarily incremented by one
each cycle. At the end of a window it can jump to the
start of the next window.
ROI 4
ROI 1
Subsampling and Binning
Pixel binning and subsampling methods are used as way
of decimating the image. The number of pixel samples is
reduced by a factor of four, while the optical area is
maintained.
ROI 0
Pixel Binning
Pixel binning is a technique in which different pixels
belonging to a rectangular bin are averaged in the analog
domain. Two-by-two pixel binning is implemented in the
VITA 25K sensor. This implies that two adjacent pixels are
averaged both in column and row. Binning is configurable
using a register setting. Pixel binning is not supported on
VITA 25K color option.
Note: register 194[9] needs to be configured to 0x1 for 2x2
pixel binning. When configuring to 0x0, 2x1 binning is
obtained (binning in x only).
Figure 25. Scanning the Image Array with Five
Subwindows
Figure 25 illustrates a practical example of a configuration
with five windows. The current position of the read pointer
(ys) is indicated by a red line crossing the image array. For
this position, three windows need to be read out. The initial
start position for the x-kernel pointer is the x-start
configuration of ROI1. Kernels are scanned up to the ROI3
x-end position. From there, the x-pointer jumps to the next
window, which is ROI4 in this illustration. When reaching
ROI4’s x-end position, the read pointer is incremented to the
next line and xs is reinitialized to the starting position of
ROI1.
NOTES:
• The initial starting point for the readout pointer at the
start of a frame is the y-start position of the first active
window.
• The read pointer is not necessarily incremented by one,
but depending on the configuration, it can jump in
y-direction. For Figure 25, this is the case when
reaching the end of ROI0 where the read pointer jumps
to the y-start position of ROI1.
• The x-pointer starting position is equal to the x-start
configuration of the first active window on the current
Subsampling
Subsampling is obtained by adapting the readout
sequence. In subsampling mode, both lines and pixels are
read in a read-N-skip-N mode. This reduces the number of
lines in a frame and the number of pixels in a line. Overall
frame time is reduced by a factor 4.
The monochrome sensor is read out in a
read-one-skip-one pattern for both the rows and the
columns, while the color version supports a
read-two-skip-two subsampling scheme. This mode is
selectable through register configuration. Figure 26 shows
which pixels are read and which ones are skipped for
monochrome and color sensors respectively. Readout
direction is indicated as an x and y arrow.

Sensor Status
Monitor Pins
The currently used exposure and gain parameters are
reported by the sensor in registers 208 to 214. These status
registers are updated at the start of the frame in which these
parameters become active.
The sensor features three logic monitor output pins. These
pins can provide internal state and synchronization
information to the outside system. These status pins can be
used during system setup or for system frame
synchronization.
The pins are named monitor0, monitor1, and monitor2.
The information provided on these pins is configured with
the register monitor_select (register 192[13:11]).
NOTE: Monitor indications are generated in the
sequencer. These signals lead the image and
synchronization data on the LVDS channels.
Temperature Diode
The temperature diode allows the monitoring of the sensor
die temperature during operation. The diode can be
connected through the pins td_anode and td_cathode.
The die temperature (Tdie), as a function of the measured
forward threshold voltage of the diode, with a known bias
current (Vdiode at bias 40 mA), is determined according to
the following formula:
Tdie = (0.77–Vdiode at bias 40 mA)/0.00158°C

DATA OUTPUT FORMAT
LVDS Output Channels
Serial Link Interface Operation
The image data output occurs through 32 LVDS data
channels, operating at 620 Mbps in 10-bit mode and
496 Mbps in 8-bit mode. A synchronization LVDS channel
and an LVDS output clock signal synchronizes the data.
The 32 data channels are used to output the image data
only. The sync channel transmits information about data sent
over these data channels (includes codes indicating black
pixels, normal pixels, and CRC).
To perform word synchronization on the output data
stream, a predefined training pattern is sent after startup of
the sensor and during idle times (during FOT, ROT, and in
between frames and lines). This data is used to perform word
alignment on the receiving side.
To decrease the data bit rate at the outputs (and reduce the
power consumption), the sensor can operate in 8-bit mode.
In 10-bit mode, the words on data and sync channels have
a 10-bit length. The words are serialized most significant bit
first. The output data rate is 620 Mbps.
In 8-bit mode, the words on data and sync channels have
an 8-bit length. The words are serialized most significant bit
first. The output data rate is 496 Mbps.
This decreases the data bit rate on the LVDS data
channels. Power consumption is reduced by reconfiguring
the internal bias currents. LVDS channels run at 248 MHz
(DDR) in 8-bit mode.
This sensor’s serial link interface is based on a
mesochronous clocking system. This means that all data and
control links operate at the same frequency, but their phase
may be different due to skew. The host provides an LVDS
clock as input to the sensor. To compensate for possible large
on-chip delays, the sensor retransmits this clock with the
same delay as that seen by the data (32 data channels) and
control path (one sync channel). The receiver end (generally
an FPGA-based system) performs per-interface skew
compensation.
The data on high-speed serial links can drift due to various
reasons such as skew, jitter, PCB trace delays, process,
voltage, and temperature variations. The receiver performs
per-LVDS interface skew compensation using bit and word
alignment techniques.
To support per-interface skew compensation, the sensor
provides a training mode that allows the system to perform
bit and word alignment on all interfaces.
During idle moments (when the sensor is not capturing
images or during frame and line overhead), the image sensor
transmits training patterns. These patterns are configurable
by means of a register upload and should be chosen such that
these can easily be detected by reducing the risk of
mimicking in the regular data stream.
Bit Alignment
Bit alignment procedures position the sampling edge of
the clock at the center of the data eye window by adding
delay to the data path (using delay taps).

Word Alignment
Word alignment procedures ensure that the reconstructed
parallel data bits are in correct order at the output of the
deserializer. Word alignment is done by looking for well
known training patterns.
All major FPGA vendors provide bit and word alignment
methods for their FPGAs. Refer to the FPGA vendor’s
application for more information on the use of these
functionalities.
When the host succeeds in a lock for bit and word
alignment procedures, the system enables the sensor for
image acquisition. Specific frame alignment patterns are
transmitted for image frame synchronization purposes.
The 8-bit mode is selected using the adc_mode pin. The
datablock sync channel is configured accordingly
(8-bit_mode configuration). In 8-bit mode, the eight most
significant bits of the ADC data words are transmitted over
the data channels.
Sync channel encoding is similar to the 10-bit mode. The
two least significant bits of the (configured) sync codes are
omitted and the window ID is transmitted after each frame
synchronization word (the two LSBs are to be ignored).
NOTE: The 8-bit mode can only be used to reduce the
data rate at the cost of image data resolution.
Operating the sensor in 8-bit mode at a higher
clock frequency to achieve higher frame rates is
not supported.
Frame Format
The frame format is explained by example of the readout
of two (overlapping) windows, as shown in Figure 27 (a).
The readout of a frame occurs on a line-by-line basis. In
this representation, the read pointer goes from left to right,
bottom to top.
Figure 27 indicates that, after the FOT is complete, a
number of lines which only include information of ‘ROI 0’

start of the first line is replaced by a frame start; the line end
of the last line is replaced with a frame end indication. Each
such frame synchronization code is followed by a window
ID (range 0 to 31).
The data channels contain valid pixel data during
FS/FE/LS/LE and window ID synchronization codes.
NOTE: For overlapping windows, the line
synchronization codes of the overlapping
windows with lower IDs are not sent out. As
shown in the illustration, no LE is transmitted
for the overlapping part of window 0.
Black lines are read out at the start of a frame. These lines
are enclosed by LS and LE indications (no frame start/end).
The window ID for the black lines must be ignored.
are sent out, starting at position y0_start. When the line at
position y1_start is reached, a number of lines containing
data of ‘ROI 0’ and ‘ROI 1’ are sent out, until the line
position of y0_end is reached. From there on, only data of
‘ROI 1’ appears on the data output channels until line
position y1_end is reached.
NOTE: Only frame start and frame end sync words are
indicated in (b). CRC codes are also omitted
from Figure 27.
During readout of image data over the data channels, the
sync channel sends out frame synchronization codes, which
provide information related to the image data being sent
over the 32 data output channels.

indication and ends with a line end (LE) indication. The line

Cyclic Redundancy Code
Black Reference
At the end of each line, a CRC code is calculated to allow
error detection at the receiving end. Each data channel
transmits a CRC code to protect the data words sent during
the previous cycles. Idle and training patterns are not
included in the calculation.
The sync channel is not protected. A special character
(CRC indication) is transmitted whenever the data channels
send their respective CRC code.
The polynomial in 10-bit operation mode is
x10+x9+x6+x3+x2+x+1. The CRC encoder is seeded at the
start of a new line and updated for every (valid) data word
received. The CRC seed is configurable usign the crc_seed
register. When ‘0’, the CRC is seeded by all-‘0’; when ‘1’ it
is seeded with all-‘1’.
In 8-bit mode, the plynomial is x8+x6+x3+x2+1. The CRC
seed is configured by means of the crc_seed register.
NOTE: Note The CRC is calculated for every line. This
implies that the CRC code can protect lines from
multiple windows.
The sensor reads out one or more black lines at the start of
every new frame. The number of black lines to be generated
is programmable and is at a minimum, equal to 1. The length
of the black lines depends on the operation mode. For rolling
shutter mode, it is equal to the line length configured in the
active window. For global shutter mode, the sensor always
reads out the entire line (80 kernels), independent of window
configurations.
The black references are used to perform black calibration
and offset compensation in the data channels. The raw black
pixel data is transmitted over the usual LVDS channels,
while the regular image data is compensated (can be
bypassed).
On the output interface, black lines can be seen as a
separate window, without frame start and ends (only line
start and ends). The window ID is to be ignored and data is
indicated by a BL code. In 8-bit mode, the configuration of
the black level calibration block automatically scales to 8-bit
mode. No reconfiguration is required.

To read out the image data through the output channels,
the pixel array is organized in kernels. The kernel size is 64
pixels in x-direction by one pixel in y-direction.

Frame Rate
Subsampling Mode
The frame time for subsampled readout is shown by the
following formula:
Frame Time = tFOT + (y-resolution / 2) x (tROT + treadout / 2),
where tROT represents the equivalent ROT time for a
normal readout of the same frame. Analogous readout
represents the equivalent readout time for normal readout.
The maximum frame rate in subsampled readout of the
full resolution of the sensor is ~160 fps.
Frame rate for subsampling and binning mode is
compared to the normal mode. Assume the y-resolution is
the programmed number of lines to read out.
Normal Readout
The frame time in normal readout mode is shown by the
following formula:
Frame Time = tFOT + (y-resolution) x (tROT + treadout)
The frame rate is equal to 1/FrameTime. Nominal frame
rate for full frame readout is 53 fps.

that these modes only exist for the data channel. The sync

For each test mode, the user can select whether the
generated data is framed. When the register
frame_testpattern is asserted, the test data simply replaces
the ADC data. This means that the test data is only sent
between frame/line start and frame/line end indications.
Outside these windows, regular training patterns are sent, as
during normal operation. CRC is calculated and inserted as
for normal data for the fixed and incrementing test pattern
generation.
Binning Mode
The frame time for subsampled readout is given by the
following formula:
Frame Time = tFOT + (y-resolution / 2) x (tROT x 2+ treadout
/ 2),
where tROT represents the equivalent ROT time for a
normal readout of the same frame. Analogous readout
represents the equivalent readout time for normal readout.
In binning mode, the maximum frame rate in subsampled
readout of the full resolution of the sensor is ~110 fps.
Test Pattern Generation
The data block provides several test pattern generation
capabilities. Figure 36 shows the functional diagram for the
data channels. It is possible to inject synthesized test patterns
at various points. Refer to the Register Map on page 43 for
the test mode configuration registers (registers 144 to 150).

Figure 36. Functional Block Diagrams for the Data Channels
NOTE: In the figure, register configurations are
indicated in red.
The sync channel continues to send regular frame timing
information when the sequencer is enabled (independently
of the test pattern configurations).
The synthesized test patterns are injected directly into the
data channels. Therefore, no data demultiplexing is required
at the receiving end (as opposed to regular image data
capture).

Pseudo Random Bit Sequence Generation
In this test mode, the output channels are sourced with
pseudo random bit sequence (PRBS) pattern. The PRBS
seed can be configured for each data channel using the
testpattern register. For the other test pattern generation
mode, the datastream is not interrupted when
frame_testpattern is deasserted.
NOTES:
• The CRC generator is not functional in this mode, and
no real CRC can be calculated. Instead, the CRC slot is
used to send one more PRBS word.
• A PRBS generator does not generate random data when
the seed is all zero. Therefore, it is advisable to
configure the testpattern registers to a value different
from ‘0’. Using different seeds for each channel results
in different sequences for each data channel.
Fixed Pattern
A configured word can be continuously repeated on the
output. This word is configurable for each data channel
separately (testpattern). The testpattern is inserted when
testpattern_en is asserted.
Incrementing Test Pattern
In each cycle, the test pattern word is incremented by one,
when inc_testpattern is asserted. After reaching the
maximum value, the incrementer is reset to its start value
(testpattern). When the testdata is framed, the incrementer
is also reset to the testpattern value at each line start.
To enable this mode, enable the digital testpattern mode
(assert testpattern_en) and assert inc_testpattern.

REGISTER MAP
Each functional entity has a dedicated address space,
starting at a block offset. The register address is obtained by
adding the address offset to the block offset. This address
must be used to perform SPI uploads and is shown in the
Address column of the register map table.

When ‘0’, exposure parameters are sync’ed at the start of
FOT. When ‘1’, exposure parameters sync is disabled
(continuously syncing). This
mode is only relevant for Triggered Global - master mode,
where the exposure parameters are sync’ed at the start of
exposure rather than the start
of FOT. For all other modes it
should be set to ‘0’.
Note: Sync is still postponed if
sync_exposure=‘0’.

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