General Description
The 5 Mp CMOS image sensor features ON Semiconductor’s breakthrough low-noise CMOS imaging technology that achieves CCD image quality (based on signal-to-noise ratio and low-light sensitivity) while maintaining the inherent size, cost, and integration advantages of CMOS.
FEATUREs
• High frame rate
• Superior low-light performance
• Low dark current
• Global reset release, which starts the exposure of all
rows simultaneously
• Bulb exposure mode, for arbitrary exposure times
• Snapshot mode to take frames on demand
• Horizontal and vertical mirror image
• Column and row skip modes to reduce image size
without reducing field-of-view (FOV)
• Column and row binning modes to improve image
quality when resizing
• Simple two-wire serial interface
• Programmable controls: gain, frame rate, frame size,
exposure
• Automatic black level calibration
• On-chip phase-locked loop (PLL)
APPLICATIONs
• Digital still cameras
• Digital video cameras
• PC cameras
• Converged DSCs/camcorders
• Cellular phones
• PDAs
