AR0130: 1/3-Inch CMOS Digital Image Sensor
Features
Embedded Data
The embedded data contains the configuration of the image being displayed. This
includes all register settings used to capture the current frame. The registers embedded
in these rows are as follows:
Line 1: Registers R0x3000 to R0x312F
Line 2: Registers R0x3136 to R0x31BF, R0x31D0 to R0x31FF
Note: All undefined registers will have a value of 0.
In parallel mode, since the pixel word depth is 12-bits/pixel, the sensor 16-bit register
data will be transferred over 2 pixels where the register data will be broken up into 8 MSB
and 8 LSB. The alignment of the 8-bit data will be on the 8 MSB bits of the 12-bit pixel
word. For example, of a register value of 0x1234 is to be transmitted, it will be trans-
mitted over 2, 12-bit pixels as follows: 0x120, 0x340.
The first pixel of each line in the embedded data is a tag value of 0x0A0. This signifies
that all subsequent data is 8 bit data aligned to the MSB of the 12-bit pixel.
The figure below summarizes how the embedded data transmission looks like. It should
be noted that data, as shown in Figure 18, is aligned to the MSB of each word:
