AR0130: 1/3-Inch CMOS Digital Image Sensor
Features
PLL-Generated Master Clock
Note:
The PLL contains a prescaler to divide the input clock applied on EXTCLK, a VCO to
multiply the prescaler output, and two divider stages to generate the output clock. The
clocking structure is shown in Figure 12. PLL control registers can be programmed to
generate desired master clock frequency.
The PLL control registers must be programmed while the sensor is in the software
Standby state. The effect of programming the PLL divisors while the sensor is in the
streaming state is undefined.

The PLL is enabled by default on the AR0130.
To Configure and Use the PLL:
1. Bring the AR0130 up as normal; make sure that fEXTCLK is between 6 and 50MHz and
ensure the sensor is in software standby (R0x301A[2]= 0). PLL control registers must
be set in software standby.
2. Set pll_multiplier, pre_pll_clk_div, vt_sys_clk_div, and vt_pix_clk_div based on the
desired input (fEXTCLK) and output (fPIXCLK) frequencies. Determine the M, N, P1, and
P2 values to achieve the desired fPIXCLK using this formula:
fPIXCLK= (fEXTCLK × M) / (N × P1 x P2)
where
M = PLL_Multiplier (R0x3030)
N = Pre_PLL_Clk_Div (R0x302E)
P1 = Vt_Sys_Clk_Div (R0x302C)
P2 = Vt_PIX_Clk_Div (R0x302A)
3. Wait 1ms to ensure that the VCO has locked.
4. Set R0x301A[2]=1 to enable streaming and to switch from EXTCLK to the PLL-gener-
ated clock.
Notes:
1. The PLL can be bypassed at any time (sensor will run directly off EXTCLK) by setting
R0x30B0[14]=1. However, only the parallel data interface is supported with the PLL
bypassed. The PLL is always bypassed in software standby mode. To disable the PLL,
the sensor must be in standby mode (R0x301A[2] = 0)
2. The following restrictions apply to the PLL tuning parameters:
32  M  255
1  N  63
1  P1  16
