All rights reserved. 1.3-MEGAPIXEL CMOS ACTIVE-PIXEL DIGITAL IMAGE SENSOR External Control Sequence The MI-MV13 includes on-chip timing and control circuitry to control most of the pixel, ADC, and output multiplexing operations. However, the sensor still requires a controller (FPGA, CPLD, ASIC, etc.) to guide it through the full sequence of its operation. With the TrueSNAP freeze-frame electronic shutter signal charges are integrated in all pixels in parallel. The charges are then sampled into pixel analog memories (one memory per pixel) and subsequently, row by row, are digitized and read out of the sensor. The integration of photosignal is controlled by two control signals: PG_N and TX_N. To clear pixels and start new integration, PG_N is made low. To transfer the data into pixel memory, TX_N is made low. The time difference between the two procedures is the exposure time. It should be noted that neither the PG_N or TX_N pulses clear the pixel analog memory. Pixel memory can be cleared during the previous readout (i.e., the readout process resets the pixel analog memory), or by applying PG_N and TX_N together (i.e., clearing both pixel and pixel memory at the same time). With the TrueSNAP freeze-frame electronic shutter the sensor can operate in either simultaneous or sequential mode in which it generates continuous video output. In simultaneous mode, as a series of frames are being captured, the PG_N and TX_N signals are exercised while the previous frame is being read out of the sensor. In simultaneous mode typically the end of integration occurs in the last row of the frame (row #1023) or in the last row of the window of interest. The position of the start integration is then calculated from the desired integration time. In sequential mode the PG_N and TX_N signals are exercised to control the integration time, and then digitization and readout of the frame takes place. Alternatively, the sensor can run in single frame or snapshot mode in which one image is captured. The sensor has a column-parallel ADC architecture that allows the array of 1,280 analog-to-digital converters on the chip to digitize simultaneously the analog data from an entire pixel row. The following input signals are utilized to control the conversion and readout process: 09005aef806807ca MT9M413C36STC.fm - Ver. 3.0 1/04 EN Table 1: Conversion and Readout Process SIGNAL NAME DESCRIPTION INPUT BUS WIDTH ROW_ADDR ROW_STRT_N LD_SHFT_N DATA_READ_EN_N Row Address Row Start Load shift register Data read enable 10-bit 1-bit 1-bit 1-bit The 10-bit ROW_ADDR (row address) input bus selects the pixel row to be read for each readout cycle. The ROW_STRT_N signal starts the process of reading the analog data from the pixel row, the analog-to-digital conversion, and the storage of the digital values in the ADC registers. When these actions are completed, the sensor sends a response back to the system controller using the ROW_DONE_N. Row address must be valid for the first half of the row processing time (the period between ROW_START_N and ROW_DONE_N). The MI-MV13 contains a pipeline style memory array, which is used to store the data after digitization. This memory also allows the data from the previous row conversion cycle to be read while a new conversion is taking place. The digital readout is controlled by lowering the LD_SHFT_N signal, followed by the DATA_READ_EN_N signal. LD_SHFT_N transfers the digitized data from the ADC register to the output register. DATA_READ_EN_N is used to enable the data output from the output register. A new pixel row readout and conversion cycle can be started two clock cycles after DATA_READ_EN_N is pulled low. The output register allows the reading of the digital data from the previous row to be performed at the same time as a new conversion (pipeline mode). This means that the total row time will be only that between when: (a) the ROW_STRT_N signal is applied and ROW_DONE_N is returned; and (b) LD_SHFT_N and DATA_READ_EN_N are applied plus two clock cycles. The pipelined operation means there will always be 1 row of latency at the start of sensor operation. The alternative to pipelined operation is burst data operation in which a new pixel row conversion is not initiated until after the output register is emptied (and LD_SHFT_N has been taken high). The ratio of line active and blanking times can be adjusted to easily match a variety of display and collection formats.

Reads the contents of pixel row specified by ROW_ADDR 2. Converts pixel row signals to digital values 3. Stores digital values in ADC register (1280 x 10 bit) PG_N and TX_N ROW_STRT_N To start integration, the PG_N signal simultaneously resets the photodetectors for the entire pixel array. To end integration, the TX_N signal simultaneously transfers charge from photodetector to memory inside each pixel for the entire pixel array. In sequential mode the PG_N and the TX_N pulses must have a minimum duration of 64 SYSCLK cycles. In simultaneous mode the PG_N and TX_N pulses must have a duration of 64 SYSCLK cycles and be applied in the window between the 66th and 129th SYSCLK cycles. Additionally, in simultaneous mode between exposures a single SYSCLK duration pulse must be applied each row during the 130th clock cycle. This signal reads the contents of the pixel row specified by ROW_ADDR, converts the pixel row signal to digital value, and stores the digital value in ADC register (1280 x 10-bit). This process is completed in 128-1291 SYSCLK cycles. Must be valid for a minimum of two clock cycles and a maximum of 100 clock cycles. ROW_DONE_N 128-1291 SYSCLK cycles after ROW_STRT_N has been pulled low the sensor acknowledges the completion of a row read operation/digitization by sending out a low going pulse on this pin. Valid for two clock cycles. ROW_ADDR The address for the pixel row to be read is input externally via this 10-bit input bus. Must be valid for at least 66 SYSCLK cycles, must be valid when ROW_STRT_N is pulled low. 09005aef806807ca MT9M413C36STC.fm - Ver. 3.0 1/04 EN 1. In order to minimize the sensor power consumption, the row processing circuitry operates at SYSCLK/2. Therefore, depending on the user's implementation, there will be either 128 or 129 SYSCLK cycles between the start of ROW_STRT_N and ROW_DONE_N. 6 Micron Technology, Inc., reserves the right to change products or specifications without notice.

Calibration occurs automatically after logic reset (LRST_N) but it can also be started by the user, by pulling CAL_STRT_N low. When calibration is finished, the sensor generates the active low CAL_DONE_N. Significant ambient temperature drift may justify recalibration. See Figure 7 and Figure 8. The MI-MV13 contains special self-calibrating circuitry that enables it to reduce its own column-wise fixed-pattern noise. This calibration process consists of connecting a calibration signal (VREF2) to each of the ADC inputs, and estimating and storing these offsets (7 bits) to subtract from subsequent samples.

Completion of this sequence, in cases where it is initiated by a reset, is still with the CAL_DONE_N signal. This process is complete within 112 SYSCLK cycles of CAL_STRT_N. This process is complete within 112 SYSCLK cycles of LRST_N. CAL_STRT_N is a two-clock cycle-wide active-low pulse that initiates the ADC calibration sequence. The pulse must not be actuated for 1 microsecond after either power-up or removal of the sensor from a power-down state. Users may find it easiest to calibrate by means of the logic reset. LRST_N CAL_DONE_N LRST_N is a two-clock cycle-wide active-low pulse that resets the digital logic. It puts all logic into a known state (all flip-flops are reset). This signal also initiates an ADC calibration sequence. CAL_DONE_N is a two-clock cycle-wide active-low output pulse that is asserted when the ADC calibration is complete.

With TrueSNAP the shutter can be operated to generate continuous video output (simultaneous mode or sequential mode) or capture single images (single frame mode). When considering timing for the various shutter modes it is useful to keep in mind the functionality of PG_N and TX_N. When PG_N is low, the photodetector is shorted to a reset voltage source. When high, the switch is open. When TX_N is low, the photodetector is shorted to pixel memory. When high, they are disconnected. Please refer to the switches shown in the Signal Path Diagram, Figure 3 on page 3. The memory is also reset during readout. It occurs for the selected row in the middle of the 0-66 clock interval after application of ROW_STRT_N (approximately clocks 20 through 40). PG_N TX_N ROW_ADDR 1023 n Exposure time Readout Time In simultaneous mode, as a series of frames are being captured, the PG_N and TX_N signals are exercised while the previous frame is being read out of the sensor. In simultaneous mode typically the "end of integration" occurs in the last row of the frame (row #1023) or in the last row of the window of interest. The position of the "start integration" is then calculated from the desired integration time. Please note that pixel memory is cleared during readout process (Figure 9).

Please note that pixel memory is cleared during readout process. The photodetector is reset when PG_N is low. Raising PG_N starts integration and lowering TX_N while PG_N is still high ends integration by sampling the signal into memory. There must be at least one SYSCLK cycle after returning TX_N to the high state until PG_N is lowered (Figure 10 on page 11). 10 Micron Technology, Inc., reserves the right to change products or specifications without notice.

In single frame mode integration must be preceded with a void frame read (selecting all addresses and applying ROW_STRT_N) or PG_N and TX_N must be applied together (for a minimum of 10 SYSCLK cycles) to clear pixel and pixel memory. Holding PG_N and TX_N low resets the photodioide (PG_N) and the analog memory which is shorted to the photodiode by the TX_N switch. To start integration both TX_N and PG_N are released. To end integration and sample the signal into memory TX_N is made low again for 10 clocks minimum, up to 64 clocks (see Figure 6 on page 7). After TX_N is returned to the high state there must be a delay of >1 SYSCLK prior to lowering PG_N again to erase charge in the photodetector. This mode is enabled by pulling PG_N high and TX_N low. Table 3: The MI-MV13 can be partially scanned by sub-sampling rows. The user may select which rows and how many rows to include in a partial scan. For example, with a 66-megahertz clock, a row time is approximately 2 microseconds, resulting in the following possibilities: 1 row in frame: 500,000 frames per second 2 rows in frame: 250,000 frames per second 10 rows in frame: 50,000 frames per second 100 rows in frame: 5,000 frames per second 256 rows in frame: 2,000 frames per second 512 rows in frame: 1,000 frames per second 1,024 rows in frame: 500 frames per second ...etc Pin Description PIN NUMBER(S) T13 U14 V15 T14 V16 Partial Scan Examples SIGNAL NAME FUNCTION DATA [99:0] Pixel data output bus that is ten pixels (100 bits) wide.

A decoupling capacitor to ground is recommended. External biasing may be preferable to optimize performance. Impedance: 3k, 10pF. Bias setting voltage for the column source follower operating current. Impedance: 3k, 10pF. Decoupling capacitor recommended. ADC reference input voltage that sets the maximum input signal level (defines the level where the FF code occurs) and thus sets the size of the least significant bit (LSB) in the analog to digital conversion process. A smaller VREF1 produces a smaller LSB, which means a smaller analog signal level input is required to produce the same digital code out. Likewise, a larger VREF1 produces a larger LSB, which means a larger analog signal level input is required to produce the same digital code out. Thus the reference value can be used like a global gain adjustment (halving this voltage doubles the gain). This signal has two pin connections to minimize internal losses during high-speed operation.

If high VRST_PIX resulted in vertical FPN it was compensated via adjustments to VLN1 and VLN2. The values suggested in the Typical Values column in the "AC Electrical Characteristics" on page 18 should be the starting point for setting the analog voltages. Additionally, it is useful to refer to the "Signal Path Diagram" on page 3 that indicates how the analog voltages affect the image. Other considerations are as follows: VREF3 and VCLAMP3 These control the offset as shown in the "Signal Path Diagram" on page 3. This must be enabled via DARK_OFF_EN_N; Offset is ~ (VREF3-VCLAMP3)/20. VREF1 This ADC reference voltage can also be utilized as a gain. A lower value will increase gain, but also results in amplification of nonuniformities. Figure 13: Set Up and Hold Time VREF4: Should always be set to 1/4 of VREF1. VREF2 Reference used for the ADC calibration to remove column-wise FPN. If set much lower than the typical value there is a possibility that some column nonuniformities will not be corrected. Setting higher than typical will result in more column-wise FPN. When debugging analog voltage settings it may be useful to temporarily set VREF2 to zero, effectively stopping the ADC calibration process and adjusting the VLN/VLP settings. SYSCLK INPUT T setup T hold VLN1 The on-chip generated voltage should be used as the starting point; increasing above typical will result in an increase in current, speed, and FPN in the first buffer. Figure 14: Clock to Data Propagation Delay tr VLN2 The on-chip generated voltage should be used as the starting point. Controls the current in the ADC comparators (there is a safe range where this voltage has no effect); above or below this range will cause the comparators to fail. If vertical white stripes appear in the center of the imaging area or random white spots appear in contour areas, it is an indication that VLN2 needs to be adjusted. Tplh, Tphl SYSCLK VLP The on-chip generated voltage should be used as the starting point. VRST_PIX Voltage for pixel reset. If this is too close to VAA the image will be degraded and is not recommended to be above 2.9V, but if it is set too low the pixel dynamic range may decrease. In the initial preproduction version of the MI-MV13 the number of defects increased with reduced VRST_PIX so it was rec- 09005aef806807ca MT9M413C36STC.fm - Ver. 3.0 1/04 EN DOUT (99:0) 20 Micron Technology, Inc., reserves the right to change products or specifications without notice.

The approximate field of view that an imaging system can achieve is shown in the following equation: Much of the specific information in this section is explained in detail at http://www.micron.com/products/imaging/technology/index.html on our web site. The following information applies specifically to the MI-MV13 megapixel image sensor. w 2 tan -1 ----- 2f Format where is the field of view, tan-1 is the trigonometric function arc-tangent, w is the width of the image sensor, and f is the focal length of the imaging lens. For example, the imaging system's diagonal field of view can be determined by using the diagonal of the image sensor (19.67 mm) for w and a particular lens' focal length for f. Alternatively, the imaging system's horizontal field of view can be determined by using the horizontal of the image sensor (15.36 mm) for w and a particular lens' focal length for f. A lens with an approximately 50 mm focal length will provide an 18degree horizontal field of view with a MI-MV13 (keep in mind that the above equation is a simplified approximation). The diagonal of the image sensor array, 19.67mm, fits most closely, but not exactly, within the optical format corresponding to the 1-inch specification. Some 1-inch optical format lenses have been shown to work well with this sensor. Typical 1-inch lens examples are Computer V2513, V5013, and V7514. F-mount lenses provide another possible lens solution due to their large image circle. Mounting Several lens mounting standards exist that specify the threading of the lens' barrel as well as the distance the back flange of the lens should be from the image sensor for the lens to properly form an image. Typical lens mounting standards for the MI-MV13 are: F-Number The f-number, or f-stop, of an imaging lens is the ratio of the lens' focal length to its open aperture diameter. Every doubling in f-number reduces the light to the sensor by a factor of four. For example, a lens set at f/1.4 lets in four times more light than that same lens when it is set at f/2.8. Low f-number lenses capture a lot of light for delivery to the image sensor, but also require careful focus. Higher f-number lenses capture less light for delivery to the image sensor, and do not require as much effort to bring the imaging system to focus. Low f-number lenses generally cost more than high f-number lenses of similar overall performance. Typical f-numbers for various imaging systems are: Table 11: Lens Mounting Standards MOUNT MOUNTING NAME THREADS BACK-FLANGE-TO-IMAGESENSOR C CS 1 - 32 1 - 32 17.526 mm 12.5 mm Another option is to use a C-mount together with a C-to F-mount adapter for greater lens flexibility. Field of View and Focal Length The field of view of an imaging system will depend on both the focal length of the imaging lens and the width of the image sensor. As most of the image information humans pay attention to generally falls within a 45-degree horizontal field of view, many camera systems attempt to imitate this field of view. However, in some cases a telephoto system (with a narrow field of view, say less than 20 degrees), or a wide angle system (with a wide field of view, say more than 60 degrees) Table 12: Typical F-Numbers F-STOP IMAGING APPLICATION 1.4 2.0 2.8 4.0+ Low-light level imaging, manual focus systems Typical for PC and other small form cameras Common in digital still cameras Often used in machine vision applications MTF Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) is a technical term that quantifies how well a particular system propagates information.

Generally, near an image sensor's LP/mm good MTFs are higher than 40, moderate MTFs are from 20 to 40, and poor MTFs are less than 20. lens and the sensor, and the "information" is the picture they are capturing. MTF ranges from zero (no information gets through) to 100 (all information gets through), and is always specified in terms of information density. In most imaging systems, the MTF is limited by the performance of the imaging lens. A lens must be able to transfer enough information to the image sensor to be able to resolve details in the image that are as small as the pixels in the image sensor. The pixels are set on a 12-micron pitch (the center of one pixel is 12 microns from the center of its neighboring pixel). Thus, a lens used should be able to resolve image features as small as 12 microns. Typically, a lens' MTF is plotted as a function of the number of line pairs per millimeter the lens is attempting to resolve (more line pairs per millimeter mean higher information densities). For an electronic imaging system, one line pair will correspond to two image sensor pixels (each pixel can resolve one line). This is equated as: Infrared Cut-Off Filters In most visible imaging situations it is necessary to include a filter in the imaging path that blocks infrared (IR) light from reaching the image sensor. This filter is called an IR cut-off filter. Various forms of IR cut-off filters are available, some absorptive (like Hoya's CM500 or Schott's BG18) and some reflective (i.e., dielectric stacks). Infrared light poses a problem to visible imaging because its presence blurs and decreases the MTF in the images formed by a lens. Since human vision only extends across a narrow range of the electromagnetic spectrum, camera systems hoping to capture images that look like the images our eyes capture must not capture light outside of our vision range. Siliconbased light detectors (like the ones in the MI-MV13's pixels) detect light from the very deep blue to the near infrared. Thus, a filter must exist in the light's path that keeps the infrared from reaching the image sensor's pixels. In most cases, it is important that such a filter begin blocking light around 650 nm (in the deep red) and continue blocking it until at least 1100 nm (in the near IR). In most camera systems, the IR cut-off filter is included in the imaging lens. However, this point must be verified by a lens vendor when a particular lens is chosen for use with an image sensor. LP1 -------= ----mm 2z where LP/mm means line pairs per millimeter and z is the image sensor's pixel pitch, in millimeters. For the MI-MV13, z = 0.012 mm, such that the MI-MV13 has 42 LP/mm. Thus, a lens should provide an acceptable level of MTF all the way out to 42 LP/mm. For most lenses, the MTF will be highest in the center of the images they form, and gradually drop off toward the edges of the images they form. As well, MTFs at low values of LP/mm will generally be larger than MTFs at high values of LP/mm.
