PRELIMINARY

(9) VSYNC Blanking Time Register

(Higher byte

:

Address 22h,

default : 00h,

R/W)

(Lower byte

:

Address 23h,

default : 03h,

R/W)

The VSYNC blank, and time defines VSYNC active duration in pixel unit .

<Note>

HSYNC blanking, VSYNC blank are used to fit the CMOS sensor display timing to external timing

requirements.

Each pixel has a photo diode in which the incoming photons are converted to electrons. Integration

time mean exposure time so these registers defines exposure time.

According to settings int_sel of Mode B register, the integration time is controlled with line or pixel

unit. Small value means short exposure time and large value means long exposure time for bright

condition.

The value should be large for dark condition. Default value setting 500 lines, this value is useful for

normal office condition. If you stay in outdoor condition, this value should be decreased. But under

dark condition, this value should be increased to get a good image quality. Increasing value may

decrease frame rate. Finally, integration time is very important for frame rate and image quality.

For line mode exposure, register 26h and 27h are used. For pixel mode exposure, all three register

25h ~ 27h are used. To control exposure time precisely, the pixel mode should be used. This register

may be used for Auto Exposure control.
