Description

The VL5510 is a 0.13 µm CMOS digital camera featuring a high dynamic range (1024 x 512

resolution) for automotive applications. This complete camera module is ready to connect to

the camera enabled baseband processor.

Video data is output from the VL5510 over a 12-bit parallel interface and a high speed serial

link (8/10/12 bits raw data output format supported on the compact camera port (CCP)

interface compatible with an SMIA (standard mobile imaging architecture) normative.

Control interface is an SPI (serial peripheral interface) or UART (universal asynchronous

Power supplies delivered to the sensor are:

●

3.3 V for the analog blocks,

●

3.3 V for the digital interface,

●

2.5 V for the high speed serial link interface,

●

1.2 V for the internal digital core (generated internally using a low drop output

regulator).

The VL5510 is designed to operate in conjunction with an electronic central unit (ECU) that

manages the device in the car.

An input clock is required in the range 6 MHz to 27.77 MHz.

The device contains an embedded video processor and delivers monochrome processed

images at up to 34 frames per second. The video processor integrates a wide range of

image enhancement functions, designed to ensure high image quality. These include:

●

Antidark sun correction

●

Dark calibration

●

Vertical fix pattern correction

●

Frame crop

●

Defect pixel correction

●

Test patterns generation

●

Statistics generation (histogram)

●

Sensor status data embedding (SCL, trailer)
