PAS302BCA-32
CMOS Image Sensor IC
3. Function Description
3.1. Defect Compensation
The Defect Compensation block can detect the possible defect pixel and replace it with average
output of like-colored pixels from near side of defect pixel. There is no limitation capability of
defect pixel number. This function can be programmed to enable/disable by user.
3.2. Companding Curves
The companding function which means compressing and expanding is used to simulate the
gamma curve and do non-linear transformation before the data is output. There are 4 curves
selected by setting Register Compand_Sel as shown in Fig. 3.1. This function can be
programmed to enable/disable by user.

3.3. Power Down Mode
The PAS302BCA-32 can be powered down by setting register “Sw_PwrDn” = 1 or by enable
Pwdn pin. The register value will sustain in the power down mode. PAS302BCA-32 supports 2
power down modes:
z Software power down：Set register “Sw_PwrDn” = 1 to power down all the internal block
except I²C^TM .
z Hardware power down：Pull Pwdn pin to high to power down the chip. The chip will go into
standby mode.
3.4. Reset Mode
The PAS302BCA-32 can be reseted by setting register “Sw_Reset” = 1 or by enable Reset pin.
PAS302BCA-32 supports 2 reset modes:
z Software reset：Set register “Sw_Reset” = 1 to reset all the I²C^TM registers.
z Hardware reset：Pull Reset pin to high to reset the full chip.
