INTRODUCTION
The SX5437M21X-X0B0 is fully functional camera module with a built-in lens. A low-noise low-power color
CMOS image sensor, S5K437CX03 and an image signal processor, S5C7323X produce high-quality digital video
output including CCIR656 format with maximum 30 frames per second for full frame readout. With SAMSUNG
0.35µm CMOS image sensor process technology which is dedicated to higher sensitivity and lower-dark level
compared to standard CMOS process, and on-chip CDS and 10-bit column ADC circuit embedded, the CMOS
image sensor provides high signal-to-noise ratio with low power consumption. This compact camera system
consists of an image sensor, a signal processor and some passive components packed with IR-cut filter and lens
units. The system works with 2.8V single power supply and a clock. All the functions are controlled with control
register setting through the standard 2-wire serial interface.

IMAGE PROCESSING FUNCTIONS
Function
Description
Defect detection and
correction
If enabled, the function detects the defective pixel by
comparing its level with horizontally neighboring pixels, and
replaces it with the average value of neighboring pixels.
De-mosaic
The sensor produces one color component from a pixel
according to Bayer color filter array. The de-mosaic function
performs color interpolation to produce all three-color
components at each pixel location.
Color correction
The spectral response of image sensor is different from that
of human eye. To match the spectral response, the sensor
output components are pivoted by user programmable 3X3
matrix production.
Gamma correction
Gamma correction translating the linear response of the
sensor into the non-linear characteristics of the display. Nonlinear conversion requires a piecewise linear approximation
method based on user programmable lookup table.
Horizontal mirror
Vertical mirror
Edge enhancement
The output image can be mirrored in horizontal direction.
The output image can be mirrored in vertical direction.
Enhancing the edge component provides a clear output
image. The edge enhancement function is performed through
horizontal and vertical edge detecting and enhancing.
PRELIMINARY
Auto exposure
According to the incident light level, the auto exposure
function controls the sensor gain and effective integration time
to maintain the proper output level. Setting the control registers
can change the sensing area used in the AE algorithm.
Auto white balance
The auto white balance function adjusts the gain of the
sensor’s red and blue channels relative to the green channel,
and compensates the spectral unbalancing of the light source.
Setting the control registers can change the sensing area used
in the AWB algorithm.
Output format conversion
4 types of output format are available.
(CCIR656 format, CCIR601 format, RGB format and sensor
raw image output format)
Sub-sampling Control
The user can read out the pixel data in sub-sampling rate in
both horizontal and vertical direction. Sub-sampling can be
done in two rates: full and 1/2. The user controls the subsampling using the Sub-sampling Control Registers, subsr and
subsc. The sub-sampling is performed only in the Bayer
space.

1/4 VGA CIS CAMERA MODULE
I2C SERIAL INTERFACE
The I2C contains a serial two-wire half duplex interface that features bi-directional operation, master or slave
mode. The general SDA and SCL are the bi-directional data and clock pins, respectively. These pins are opendrain type ports and will require a pull-up resistor to VDD. The image sensor operates in salve mode only and the
SCL is input only. The I2C bus interface is composed of following parts: START signal, 7-bit slave device address
(0101101Xb) transmission followed by a read/write bit, an acknowledgement signal from the slave, 8-bit data
transfer followed by an acknowledgement signal and STOP signal. The SDA bus line may only be changed while
SCL is low. The data on the SDA bus line is valid on the high-to-low transition of SCL.
