1.1 OVERVIEW
The CMV300 is a high speed CMOS image sensor with 648 by 488 pixels (1/3 optical inch) developed for machine vision
applications. The image array consists of 7.4μm x 7.4μm pipelined global shutter pixels which allow exposure during
read out, while performing CDS operation. The image sensor has 4 8, 10 or 12 bit digital LVDS outputs (serial) or one 10
bit parallel CMOS output. The image sensor also integrates a programmable gain amplifier and offset regulation. Each
LVDS channel runs at 480 Mbps maximum which results in 480 fps frame rate at full resolution. Higher frame rates can
be achieved in row-windowing mode or row-subsampling mode. These modes are all programmable using the SPI
interface. All internal exposure and read out timings are generated by a programmable on-board sequencer. External
triggering and exposure programming is also possible. Extended optical dynamic range can be achieved by multiple
integrated high dynamic range modes.
