TC5747 Preliminary Data Sheet
Single Chip CMOS Imager
5. High Level API Programming
All TC5747 series products come with a flexible software API (Applications Program Interface) for
integration of the product and interfacing it to a wide range of hosts. The API is based on a set of defined
host commands.
The TC5747 is controlled by an embedded microcontroller. The microcontroller runs the firmware that is
supplied by TransChip. The microcontroller receives the host commands, and executes them to perform
various camera control functions.
5.1 Firmware Loading
The microcontroller firmware (program) may be loaded through the host interface. (When using I2C or
UART for control, firmware is loaded either using the I²C interface or the UART interface). Once the
program is loaded, the microcontroller sets the registers and controls the entire chip according to the
firmware preset defaults and according to host commands which the microcontroller receives through the
control interfaces.
