ASX340CS: 1/4-Inch Color CMOS NTSC/PAL Digital Image Sensor
Sensor Pixel Array
Output Formats
ITU-R BT.656 and RGB Output
TheASX340AT can output processed video as a standard ITU-R BT.656 (CCIR656) stream,
an RGB stream, or as unprocessed Bayer data. The ITU-R BT.656 stream contains YCbCr
4:2:2 data with embedded synchronization codes. This output is typically suitable for
subsequent display by standard video equipment or JPEG/MPEG compression.
Colorpipe data (pre-lens correction and overlay) can also be output in YCbCr 4:2:2 and a
variety of RGB formats in 640 by 480 progressive format in conjunction with
LINE_VALID and FRAME_VALID.
The ASX340AT can be configured to output 16-bit RGB (565RGB), 15-bit RGB (555RGB),
and two types of 12-bit RGB (444RGB). Refer to Table 24 and Table 25 on page 50 for
details.
Bayer Output
Unprocessed Bayer data are generated when bypassing the IFP completely—that is, by
simply outputting the sensor Bayer stream as usual, using FRAME_VALID, LINE_VALID,
and PIXCLK to time the data. This mode is called sensor bypass mode.
Output Ports
Composite Video Output
The composite video output DAC is external-resistor-programmable and supports both
single-ended and differential output. The DAC is driven by the on-chip video encoder
output.
Parallel Output
Parallel output uses either 8-bit or 10-bit output. Eight-bit output is used for ITU-R
BT.656 and RGB output. Ten-bit output is used for raw Bayer output.
Zoom Support
The ASX340AT supports zoom x1 and x2 modes, in interlaced and progressive scan
modes. The progressive support is limited to the VGA at either 60 fps or 50 fps.
In the zoom x2 modes, the sensor is configured for QVGA (320 x 240), and the zoom x2
window can be configured to pan around the VGA window.
FOV Stretch Support
The ASX340AT supports the ability to control the active 'width' of the TV output line,
between 692 and 720 pixels. The hardware supports two margins, each a maximum of 14
pixels width, and has to be an even number of pixels.
