Description
The VITA 1300 is a 1/2 inch Super-eXtended Graphics Array (SXGA) CMOS image sensor with a pixel array of 1280 by 1024.
The high sensitivity 4.8 mm x 4.8 mm pixels support pipelined and triggered global shutter readout modes and can also be
operated in a low noise rolling shutter mode. In rolling shutter mode, the sensor supports correlated double sampling readout,
reducing noise and increasing the dynamic range.
The sensor has on-chip programmable gain amplifiers and 10-bit A/D converters. The integration time and gain parameters
can be reconfigured without any visible image artifact. Optionally the on-chip automatic exposure control loop (AEC) controls
these parameters dynamically. The image’s black level is either calibrated automatically or can be adjusted by adding a user
programmable offset.
A high level of programmability using a four wire serial peripheral interface enables the user to read out specific regions
of interest. Up to 8 regions can be programmed, achieving even higher frame rates.
The image data interface of the V1-SN/SE part consists of four LVDS lanes, facilitating frame rates up to 150 frames per
second. Each channel runs at 620 Mbps. A separate synchronization channel containing payload information is provided to
facilitate the image reconstruction at the receive end. The V2-SN/SE part provides a parallel CMOS output interface at reduced
frame rate.
The VITA 1300 is packaged in a 48-pin LCC package and is available in a monochrome and color version.

Power Down Sequence
Figure 13 illustrates the timing diagram of the preferred
power down sequence. It is important that the sensor is in
reset before the clock input stops running. Otherwise, the
internal PLL becomes unstable and the sensor gets into an
unknown state. This can cause high peak currents.
The same applies for the ramp down of the power
supplies. The preferred order to ramp down the supplies is
first vdd_pix, second vdd_33, and finally vdd_18. Any other
sequence can cause high peak currents.
NOTE: The ‘clock input’ can be the CMOS PLL clock
input (clk_pll), or the LVDS clock input
(lvds_clock_inn/p) in case the PLL is bypassed.

Sensor Re−configuration
Sensor Configuration
During the standby, idle, or running state several sensor
parameters can be reconfigured.
• Frame Rate and Exposure Time: Frame rate and
exposure time changes can occur during standby, idle,
and running states.
• Signal Path Gain: Signal path gain changes can occur
during standby, idle, and running states.
• Windowing: Changes with respect to windowing can
occur during standby, idle, and running states. Refer to
Multiple Window Readout on page 33 for more
information.
• Subsampling: Changes of the subsampling mode can
occur during standby, idle, and running states. Refer to
Subsampling on page 34 for more information.
• Shutter Mode: The shutter mode can only be changed
during standby or idle mode. Reconfiguring the shutter
mode during running state is not supported.
This device contains multiple configuration registers.
Some of these registers can only be configured while the
sensor is not acquiring images (while register 192[0] = 0),
while others can be configured while the sensor is acquiring
images. For the latter category of registers, it is possible to
distinguish the register set that can cause corrupted images
(limited number of images containing visible artifacts) from
the set of registers that are not causing corrupted images.
These three categories are described here.
Static Readout Parameters
Some registers are only modified when the sensor is not
acquiring images. Re-configuration of these registers while
images are acquired can cause corrupted frames or even
interrupt the image acquisition. Therefore, it is
recommended to modify these static configurations while
the sequencer is disabled (register 192[0] = 0). The registers
shown in Table 15 should not be reconfigured during image
acquisition. A specific configuration sequence applies for
these registers. Refer to the operation flow and startup

frame being blanked. This happens when the modification
requires more than one frame to settle. The image is blanked
out and training patterns are transmitted on the data and sync
channels.
Dynamic Readout Parameters
It is possible to reconfigure the sensor while it is acquiring
images. Frame-related parameters are internally
re-synchronized to frame boundaries, such that the modified
parameter does not affect a frame that has already started.
However, there can be restrictions to some registers as

256–279
Optionally, it is possible to blank out one frame after re-configuration of the active ROI in
rolling shutter mode. Therefore, register 206[8] must be asserted (blank_roi_switch configuration).
A ROI switch is only detected when a new window is selected as the active window
(re-configuration of register 195). Re-configuration of the ROI dimension of the active
window does not lead to a frame blank and can cause a corrupted image.
Exposure re-configuration

Exposure re-configuration does not cause artifact. However, a latency of one frame is
observed unless reg_seq_exposure_sync_mode is set to ‘1’ in triggered global mode
(master).

of registers can be programmed in the sync_configuration
registers, which can be found at the SPI address 206.
Figure 14 shows a re-configuration that does not use the
sync_configuration option. As depicted, new SPI
configurations are synchronized to frame boundaries.
With sync_configuration = ‘1’. Configurations are
synchronized to the frame boundaries.
Figure 15 shows the usage of the sync_configuration
settings. Before uploading a set of registers, the
corresponding sync_configuration is de-asserted. After the
upload is completed, the sync_configuration is asserted
again and the sensor resynchronizes its set of registers to the
coming frame boundaries. As seen in the figure, this ensures
that the uploads performed at the end of frame N+2 and the
start of frame N+3 become active in the same frame (frame
N+4).
Freezing Active Configurations
Though the readout parameters are synchronized to frame
boundaries, an update of multiple registers can still lead to
a transient effect in the subsequent images, as some
configurations require multiple register uploads. For
example, to reconfigure the exposure time in master global
mode, both the fr_length and exposure registers need to be
updated. Internally, the sensor synchronizes these
configurations to frame boundaries, but it is still possible
that the re-configuration of multiple registers spans over two
or even more frames. To avoid inconsistent combinations,
freeze the active settings while altering the SPI registers by
disabling synchronization for the corresponding
functionality before re-configuration. When all registers are
uploaded, re-enable the synchronization. The sensor’s
sequencer then updates its active set of registers and uses
them for the coming frames. The freezing of the active set

Window Configuration
window configurations. Note that switching between two
different windows might result in a corrupted frame. This is
inherent in the rolling shutter mechanism, where each line
must be reset sequentially before being read out. This
corrupted window can be blanked out by setting register
206[8]. In this case, a dead time is noted on the LVDS
interface when the window-switch occurs in the sensor.
During this blank out, training patterns are sent out on the
data and sync channels for the duration of one frame.
Global Shutter Mode
Up to 8 windows can be defined in global shutter mode
(pipelined or triggered). The windows are defined by
registers 256 to 279. Each window can be activated or
deactivated separately using register 195. It is possible to
reconfigure the windows while the sensor is acquiring
images. It is also possible to reconfigure the inactive
windows or to switch between predefined windows.
One can switch between predefined windows by
reconfiguring the register 195. This way a minimum number
of registers need to be uploaded when it is necessary to
switch between two or more sets of windows. As an example
of this, scanning the scene at higher frame rates using
multiple windows and switching to full frame capture when
the object is traced. Switching between the two modes only
requires an upload of one register.
Black Calibration
The sensor automatically calibrates the black level for
each frame. Therefore, the device generates a configurable
number of electrical black lines at the start of each frame.
The desired black level in the resulting output interface can
be configured and is not necessarily targeted to ‘0’.
Configuring the target to a higher level yields some
information on the left side of the black level distribution,
while the other end of the distribution tail is clipped to ‘0’
when setting the black level target to ‘0’.
The black level is calibrated for the 8 columns contained
in one kernel. Configurable parameters for the black-level
algorithm are listed in Table 19.
Rolling Shutter Mode
In rolling shutter mode it is not possible to read multiple
windows. Do not activate more than one window (register
195). However, it is possible to configure more than one
window and dynamically switch between the different

Description
black_lines
This register configures the number of black lines that are generated at the start of a
frame. At least one black line must be generated. The maximum number is 255.
Note: When the automatic black-level calibration algorithm is enabled, make sure that this
register is configured properly to produce sufficient black pixels for the black-level filtering.
The number of black pixels generated per line is dependent on the operation mode and
window configurations:
Global Shutter - Each black line contains 160 kernels.
Rolling Shutter - As the line length is fundamental for rolling shutter operation, the length of
a black line is defined by the active window.
gate_first_line
When asserting this configuration, the first black line of the frame is blanked out and is not
used for black calibration. It is recommended to enable this functionality, because the first
line can have a different behavior caused by boundary effects. When enabling, the number
of black lines must be set to at least two in order to have valid black samples for the calibration algorithm.
auto_blackcal_enable
Internal black-level calibration functionality is enabled when set to ‘1’. Required black level
offset compensation is calculated on the black samples and applied to all image pixels.
When set to ‘0’, the automatic black-level calibration functionality is disabled. It is possible
to apply an offset compensation to the image pixels, which is defined by the registers
129[10:1].
Note: Black sample pixels are not compensated; the raw data is sent out to provide external statistics and, optionally, calibrations.
129[9:1]
blackcal_offset
Black calibration offset that is added or subtracted to each regular pixel value when auto_blackcal_enable is set to ‘0’. The sign of the offset is determined by register 129[10]
(blackcal_offset_dec).
Note: All channels use the same offset compensation when automatic black calibration is
disabled.
129[10]
blackcal_offset_dec
Sign of blackcal_offset. If set to ‘0’, the black calibration offset is added to each pixel. If set
to ‘1’, the black calibration offset is subtracted from each pixel.
This register is not used when auto_blackcal_enable is set to ‘1’.
black_samples
The black samples are low-pass filtered before being used for black level calculation. The
more samples are taken into account, the more accurate the calibration, but more samples
require more black lines, which in turn affects the frame rate.
The effective number of samples taken into account for filtering is 2^ black_samples.
Note: An error is reported by the device if more samples than available are requested
(refer to register 136).

blackcal_error0
An error is reported by the device if there are requests for more samples than are available
(each bit corresponding to one data path). The black level is not compensated correctly if
one of the channels indicates an error. There are three possible methods to overcome this
situation and to perform a correct offset compensation:
• Increase the number of black lines such that enough samples are generated at the
cost of increasing frame time (refer to register 197).
• Relax the black calibration filtering at the cost of less accurate black level determination (refer to register 128).
• Disable automatic black level calibration and provide the offset via SPI register upload.
Note that the black level can drift in function of the temperature. It is thus recommended
to perform the offset calibration periodically to avoid this drift.
NOTE: The maximum number of samples taken into account for black level statistics is half the number of kernels.

indicated in Figure 16. The sensor samples this
data on a rising edge of the sck clock (mosi needs
to be driven by the system on the falling edge of
the sck clock).
3. The tenth bit sent by the master indicates the type
of transfer: high for a write command, low for a
read command.
4. Data transmission:
- For write commands, the master continues
sending the 16-bit data, most significant bit first.
- For read commands, the sensor returns the
requested address on the miso pin, most significant
bit first. The miso pin must be sampled by the
system on the falling edge of sck (assuming
nominal system clock frequency and maximum
10 MHz SPI frequency).
5. When data transmission is complete, the system
deselects the sensor one clock period after the last
bit transmission by pulling ss_n high.
Maximum frequency for the SPI depends on the input
clock and type of sensor. The frequency is 1/6th of the PLL
input clock or 1/30th (in 10-bit mode) and 1/24th (in 8-bit
mode) of the LVDS input clock frequency.
At nominal input frequency (62 Mhz / 310 MHz /
248 MHz), the maximum frequency for the SPI is 10 MHz.
Bursts of SPI commands can be issued by leaving at least
two SPI clock periods between two register uploads.
Deselect the chip between the SPI uploads by pulling the
ss_n pin high.
The sensor configuration registers are accessed through
an SPI. The SPI consists of four wires:
• sck: Serial Clock
• ss_n: Active Low Slave Select
• mosi: Master Out, Slave In, or Serial Data In
• miso: Master In, Slave Out, or Serial Data Out
The SPI is synchronous to the clock provided by the
master (sck) and asynchronous to the sensor’s system clock.
When the master wants to write or read a sensor’s register,
it selects the chip by pulling down the Slave Select line
(ss_n). When selected, data is sent serially and synchronous
to the SPI clock (sck).
Figure 16 shows the communication protocol for read and
write accesses of the SPI registers. The VITA 1300 sensor
uses 9-bit addresses and 16-bit data words.
Data driven by the system is colored blue in Figure 16,
while data driven by the sensor is colored yellow. The data
in grey indicates high-Z periods on the miso interface. Red
markers indicate sampling points for the sensor (mosi
sampling); green markers indicate sampling points for the
system (miso sampling during read operations).
The access sequence is:
1. Select the sensor for read or write by pulling down
the ss_n line.
2. One SPI clock cycle after selecting the sensor, the
9-bit data is transferred, most significant bit first.
The sck clock is passed through to the sensor as

IMAGE SENSOR TIMING AND READOUT
reset period, the global photodiode reset condition is
abandoned. This indicates the start of the integration or
exposure time. The length of the exposure time is defined by
the registers exposure and mult_timer.
NOTE: The start of the exposure time is synchronized to
the start of a new line (during ROT) if the
exposure period starts during a frame readout.
As a consequence, the effective time during
which the image core is in a reset state is
extended to the start of a new line.
• Make sure that the sum of the reset time and exposure
time exceeds the time required to readout all lines. If
this is not the case, the exposure time is extended until
all (active) lines are read out.
• Alternatively, it is possible to specify the frame time
and exposure time. The sensor automatically calculates
the required reset time. This mode is enabled by the
fr_mode register. The frame time is specified in the
register fr_length.
The following sections describe the configurations for
single slope reset mechanism. Dual and triple slope handling
during global shutter operation is similar to the single slope
operation. Extra integration time registers are available.
Global Shutter Mode
Pipelined Global Shutter (Master)
The integration time is controlled by the registers
fr_length[15:0] and exposure[15:0]. The mult_timer
configuration defines the granularity of the registers
reset_length and exposure. It is read as number of system
clock cycles (16.129 ns nominal at 62 MHz) for the
V1-SN/SE version and 15.5 MHz cycles (64.516 ns
nominal) for the V2-SN/SE version.
The exposure control for (Pipelined) Global Master mode
is depicted in Figure 17.
The pixel values are transferred to the storage node during
FOT, after which all photo diodes are reset. The reset state
remains active for a certain time, defined by the reset_length
and mult_timer registers, as shown in the figure. Note that
meanwhile the image array is read out line by line. After this

the pixel storage node and readout of the image array. In
other words, the high time of the trigger pin indicates the
integration time, the period of the trigger pin indicates the
frame time.
The use of the trigger during slave mode is shown in
Figure 19.
Notes:
• The falling edge on the trigger pin does not have any
impact. Note however the trigger must be asserted for
at least 100 ns.
• The start of the exposure time is synchronized to the
start of a new line (during ROT) if the exposure period
starts during a frame readout. As a consequence, the
effective time during which the image core is in a reset
state is extended to the start of a new line.
• If the exposure timer expires before the end of readout,
the exposure time is extended until the end of the last
active line.
• The trigger pin needs to be kept low during the FOT.
The monitor pins can be used as a feedback to the
FPGA/controller (eg. use monitor0, indicating the very
first line when monitor_select = 0x5 − a new trigger can
be initiated after a rising edge on monitor0).
Notes:
• The registers exposure, fr_length, and mult_timer are
not used in this mode.
• The start of exposure time is synchronized to the start
of a new line (during ROT) if the exposure period starts
during a frame readout. As a consequence, the effective
time during which the image core is in a reset state is
extended to the start of a new line.
• If the trigger is de-asserted before the end of readout,
the exposure time is extended until the end of the last
active line.
• The trigger pin needs to be kept low during the FOT.
The monitor pins can be used as a feedback to the
FPGA/controller (eg. use monitor0, indicating the very
first line when monitor_select = 0x5 − a new trigger can
be initiated after a rising edge on monitor0).
Triggered Global Shutter (Slave)
Exposure or integration time is fully controlled by means
of the trigger pin in slave mode. The registers fr_length,
exposure and mult_timer are ignored by the sensor.

frame rate by adding so called dummy lines. A dummy line
lasts for the same time as a regular line, but no pixel data is
transferred to the system. The number of dummy lines is
controlled by the register dummy_lines. The rolling shutter
exposure mechanism is graphically shown in Figure 20.
The exposure time during rolling shutter mode is always
an integer multiple of line-times. The exposure time is
defined by the register exposure and expressed in number of
lines. The register fr_length and mult_timer are not used in
this mode.
The maximum exposure time is limited by the frame time.
It is possible to increase the exposure time at the cost of the
Figure 20. Integration Control in Rolling Shutter Mode
It is clear that when the number of rows and/or the length
of a row are reduced (by windowing or subsampling), the
frame time decreases and consequently the frame rate
increases.
To be able to artificially increase the frame time, it is
possible to:
• add dummy clock cycles to a row time
• add dummy rows to the frame
Note:
The duration of one line is the sum of the ROT and the time
required to read out one line (depends on the number of
active kernels in the window). Optionally, this readout time
can be extended by the configuration rs_x_length. This
register, expressed in number of periods of the logic clock
(16.129 ns for the V1-SN/SE version and 64.516 ns for the
V2-SN/SE version), determines the length of the x-readout.
However, the minimum for rs_x_length is governed by the
window size (x-size).

Multiple Window Readout
Up to eight windows can be defined, possibly (partially)
overlapping, as illustrated in Figure 22.
The VITA 1300 sensor supports multiple window
readout, which means that only the user-selected Regions Of
Interest (ROI) are read out. This allows limiting data output
for every frame, which in turn allows increasing the frame
rate.
• In global shutter mode, up to eight ROIs can be
configured.
• In rolling shutter mode, only a single ROI is supported.
All multiple windowing features described further in

a consequence, the granularity for configuring the x-start
position is also 8 pixels for no sub sampling. The value
configured in the x-start register is multiplied by 8 to find the
corresponding column in the pixel array.
• x-end[7:0]
This register defines the window end point on the x-axis.
Similar to x-start, the granularity for this configuration is
one kernel. x-end needs to be larger than x-start.
• y-start[9:0]
The starting line of the readout window. The granularity
of this setting is one line, except with color sensors where it
needs to be an even number.
• y-end[9:0]
The end line of the readout window. y-end must be
configured larger than y-start. This setting has the same
granularity as the y-start configuration.
Processing Multiple Windows
The sequencer control block houses two sets of counters
to construct the image frame. As previously described, the
y-counter indicates the line that needs to be read out and is
incremented at the end of each line. For the start of the frame,
it is initialized to the y-start address of the first window and
it runs until the y-end address of the last window to be read
out. The last window is configured by the configuration
registers and it is not necessarily window #7.
The x-counter starts counting from the x-start address of
the window with the lowest ID which is active on the
addressed line. Only windows for which the current
y-address is enclosed are taken into account for scanning.
Other windows are skipped.

configuration of the first active window on the current
line addressed. This window is not necessarily window
#0.
The x-pointer is not necessarily incremented by one
each cycle. At the end of a window it can jump to the
start of the next window.
Each window can be activated separately. There is no
restriction on which window and how many of the 8
windows are active.
Subsampling
Subsampling is used to reduce the image resolution. This
allows increasing the frame rate. Two subsampling modes
are supported: for monochrome sensors (V1/V2-SN) and
color sensors (V1/V2-SE).
Figure 23. Scanning the Image Array with Five
Windows
Figure 23 illustrates a practical example of a configuration
with five windows. The current position of the read pointer
(ys) is indicated by a red line crossing the image array. For
this position of the read pointer, three windows need to be
read out. The initial start position for the x-kernel pointer is
the x-start configuration of ROI1. Kernels are scanned up to
the ROI3 x-end position. From there, the x-pointer jumps to
the next window, which is ROI4 in this illustration. When
reaching ROI4’s x-end position, the read pointer is
incremented to the next line and xs is reinitialized to the
starting position of ROI1.
Notes:
• The starting point for the readout pointer at the start of
a frame is the y-start position of the first active window.
• The read pointer is not necessarily incremented by one,
but depending on the configuration, it can jump in
y-direction. In Figure 23, this is the case when reaching
the end of ROI0 where the read pointer jumps to the
y-start position of ROI1
Monochrome Sensors
For monochrome sensors, the read-1-skip-1 subsampling
scheme is used. Subsampling occurs both in x- and ydirection.
Color Sensors
For color sensors, the read-2-skip-2 subsampling scheme
is used. Subsampling occurs both in x- and y- direction.
Figure 24 shows which pixels are read and which ones are
skipped.
Binning
Pixel binning is a technique in which different pixels are
averaged in the analog domain. A 2x1 binning mode is
available on the monochrome sensors (V1/V2-SN). When
enabled, two neighboring pixels in the x-direction are
averaged while line readout happens in a read-1-skip-1
manner.
Pixel binning is not supported on V1/V2-SE.

Multiple Slope Integration
To increase the dynamic range of the sensor, a second
slope is applied in the dual slope mode (green curve). The
sensor has the same responsivity in the black as for a single
slope, but from ‘knee point 1’ on, the sensor is less
responsive to incoming light. The result is that the saturation
point is at a higher light power level.
To further increase the dynamic range, a third slope can be
applied, resulting in a second knee point.
The multiple slope function is only available in global
shutter modes. Refer to section Global Shutter Mode on
page 30 for general notes applicable to the global shutter
operation and more particular to the use of the trigger0 pin.
‘Multiple Slope Integration’ is a method to increase the
dynamic range of the sensor. The VITA 1300 supports up to
three slopes.
Figure 25 shows the sensor response to light when the
sensor is used with one slope, two slopes, and three slopes.
The X-axis represents the light power; the Y-axis shows the
sensor output signal. The kneepoint of the multiple slope
curves are adjustable in both position and voltage level.
It is clear that when using only one slope (red curve), the
sensor has the same responsivity over the entire range, until
the output saturates at the point indicated with ‘single slope
saturation point’.

dual_slope_enable and triple_slope_enable and their values
are defined by the registers exposure_ds and exposure_ts.
NOTE: Dual and triple slope sequences must start after
readout of the previous frame is fully completed.
Figure 26 shows the frame timing for pipelined master
mode with dual and triple slope integration and
fr_mode = ‘0’ (fr_length representing the reset length).
In triggered master mode, the start of integration is
initiated by a rising edge on trigger0, while the falling edge
does not have any relevance. Exposure duration and
dual/triple slope points are defined by the registers.
Kneepoint Configuration (Multiple Slope Reset Levels)
The kneepoint reset levels are configured by means of
DAC configurations in the image core. The dual slope
kneepoint is configured with the dac_ds configuration,
while the triple slope kneepoint is configured with the
dac_ts register setting. Both are located on address 41.
Multiple Slope Integration in “Master Mode” (Pipelined or
Triggered)
In master mode, the time stamps for the double and triple
slope resets are configured in a similar way as the exposure
time. They are enabled through the registers
Figure 26. Multiple Slope Operation in Master Mode for fr_mode = ‘0’ (Pipelined)
initiates the triple slope reset sequence. Rising edges on
trigger1 and trigger2 do not have any impact.
NOTE: Dual and triple slope sequences must start after
readout of the previous frame is fully completed.
Slave Mode
In slave mode, the register settings for integration control
are ignored. The user has full control through the trigger0,
trigger1 and trigger2 pins. A falling edge on trigger1
initiates the dual slope reset while a falling edge on trigger2

Black Reference
exposure time and gain are reconfigured together, as an
exposure time update always has one frame latency.
The sensor reads out one or more black lines at the start of
every new frame. The number of black lines to be generated
is programmable and is minimal equal to 1. The length of the
black lines depends on the operation mode: for Rolling
Shutter mode, the length of the black line is equal to the line
length configured in the active window. For Global Shutter
mode, the sensor always reads out the entire line (160
kernels), independent of window configurations.
The black references are used to perform black calibration
and offset compensation in the data channels. The raw black
pixel data is transmitted over the usual output interface,
while the regular image data is compensated (can be
bypassed).
On the output interface, black lines can be seen as a
separate window, however without Frame Start and Ends
(only Line Start/End). The Sync code following the Line
Start and Line End indications (“window ID”) contains the
active window number for Rolling Shutter operation, while
it is 0 for Snapshot Shutter operation. Black reference data
is classified by a BL code.

Digital Gain Stage
The digital gain stage allows fine gain adjustments on the
digitized samples. The gain configuration is an absolute 5.7
unsigned number (5 digits before and 7 digits after the
decimal point).
Analog Gain Stages
Two gain steps are available in the analog data path to
apply gain to the analog signal before it is digitized. The gain
amplifier can apply a gain of 1x to 8x to the analog signal.
The moment a gain re-configuration is applied and
becomes valid can be controlled by the gain_lat_comp
configuration.
With ‘gain_lat_comp’ set to ‘0’, the new gain
configurations are applied from the very next frame.
With ‘gain_lat_comp’ set to ‘1’, the new gain settings are
postponed by one extra frame. This feature is useful when

The automatic exposure control loop is enabled by
asserting the aec_enable configuration in register 160.
NOTE: Dual and Triple slope integration is not
supported in conjunction with the AEC.
Color Sensor
The weight of each color can be configured for color
sensors by means of scale factors. Note these scale factor are
only used to calculate the statistics in order to compensate
for (off-chip) white balancing and/or color matrices. The
pixel values itself are not modified.
The scale factors are configured as 3.7 unsigned numbers
(0x80 = unity).
AEC Statistics Block
The statistics block calculates the average illumination of
the current image. Based on the difference between the
calculated illumination and the target illumination the
statistics block requests a relative gain change.
Table 26. COLOR SCALE FACTORS
Statistics Subsampling and Windowing
For average calculation, the statistics block will
sub-sample the current image or windows by taking every
fourth sample into account. Note that only the pixels read out
through the active windows are visible for the AEC. In the
case where multiple windows are active, the samples will be
selected from the total samples. Samples contained in a
region covered by multiple (overlapping) window will be
taking into account only once.
It is possible to define an AEC specific sub-window on
which the AEC will calculate it’s average. For instance, the
sensor can be configured to read out a larger frame, while the
illumination is measured on a smaller region of interest, e.g.
center weighted.

Exposure Control Parameters
The several gain parameters are described below, in the
order in which these are controlled by the AEC for large
adjustments. Small adjustments are regulated by digital gain
only.
• Exposure Time
In rolling shutter mode, the exposure time is the time
elapsed between resetting a particular line and reading it out.
This time is constant for all lines in a frame, lest the image
be non-uniformly exposed. The exposure time is always an
integer multiple of the line time.
In a snapshot shutter mode, the exposure is the time
between the global image array reset de-assertion and the
pixel charge transfer. The granularity of the integration time
steps is configured by the mult_timer register.
NOTE: The exposure_time register is ignored when the
AEC is enabled. The register fr_length defines
the frame time and needs to be configured
accordingly.
Target Illumination
The target illumination value is configured by means of
register desired_intensity.

Description
AEC Enforcer Block
The enforcer block calculates the four different gain
parameters, based on the required total gain, thereby
respecting a specific hierarchy in those configurations.
Some (digital) hysteresis is added so that the (analog) sensor
settings don’t need to change too often.
Important note for rolling shutter operation: a minimum
of 4 dummy lines is required when using the automatic
exposure controller.

• Analog Gain
The sensor has two analog gain stages, configurable
independently from each other. Typically the AEC shall first
regulate the first stage. Optionally this behavior can be
inverted by setting the amp_pri register.
• Digital Gain
The last gain stage is a gain applied on the digitized
samples. The digital gain is represented by a 5.7 unsigned
number (i.e. 7 bits after the decimal point). While the analog
gain steps are coarse, the digital gain stage makes it possible
to achieve very fine adjustments.
AEC Control Range
The control range for each of the exposure parameters can
be pre-programmed in the sensor. Note that for rolling
shutter operation the maximum integration time should not
exceed the number of lines read out (i.e. the sum of black
lines, active window-defined lines and dummy lines).

AEC Update Frequency
As an integration time update has a latency of one frame,
the exposure control parameters are evaluated and updated
every other frame.
Note: The gain update latency must be postpone to match
the integration time latency. This is done by asserting the
gain_lat_comp register on address 204[13].
Exposure Control Status Registers
Configured integration and gain parameters are reported
to the user by means of status registers. The sensor provides
two levels of reporting: the status registers reported in the
AEC address space are updated once the parameters are
recalculated and requested to the internal sequencer. The
status registers residing in the sequencer’s address space on
the other hand are updated once these parameters are taking
effect on the image readout. The first set shall thus lead the
second set of status registers.

Temperature Sensor
AEC calculated digital gain (5.7 unsigned format)
Note: this parameter is updated at
the frame end.
The VITA 1300 has an on-chip temperature sensor which
can output a digital code (Tsensor) of the silicon junction
temperature. The Tsensor output is a 8-bit digital count
between 0 and 255, proportional to the temperature of the
silicon substrate. This reading can be translated directly to
a temperature reading in °C by calibrating the 8-bit readout
at 0°C and 85°C to achieve an output accuracy of ±2°C. The
Tsensor output can also be calibrated using a single
temperature point (example: room temperature or the
ambient temperature of the application), to achieve an
output accuracy of ±5°C.
The resolution of the temperature sensor in ºC / bit is made
almost constant over process variations by design.
Therefore any process variation will result in an offset in the
bit count and this offset will remain within ±5°C over the
temperature range of 0°C and 85°C.
Tsensor output digital code can be read out through the
SPI interface. Refer to the Register Map on page 50
The output of the temperature sensor to the SPI:
tempd_reg_temp: This is the 8-bit N count readout
proportional to temperature.
The input from the SPI:
The reg_tempd_enable is a global enable and this enables
or disables the temperature sensor when logic high or logic
low respectively. The temperature sensor is reset or disabled
when the input reg_tempd_enable is set to a digital low state.

Calibration using one temperature point
The temperature sensor resolution is fixed for a given type
of package for the operating range of 0°C to +85°C and
hence devices can be calibrated at any ambient temperature
of the application, with the device configured in the mode of
operation.
Interpreting the actual temperature for the digital code
readout:
The formula used is
TJ = R (Nread - Ncalib) + Tcalib
TJ = junction die temperature
R = resolution in degrees/LSB (typical 0.75 deg/LSB)
Nread = Tsensor output (LSB count between 0 and 255)
Tcalib = Tsensor calibration temperature
Ncalib = Tsensor output reading at Tcalib
Monitor Pins
The internal sequencer has two monitor outputs (Pin 44
and Pin 45) that can be used to communicate the internal
states from the sequencer. A three-bit register configures the
assignment of the pins.

DATA OUTPUT FORMAT
The VITA 1300 is available in two different versions:
Frame Format
The frame format in 8-bit mode is identical to the 10-bit
mode with the exception that the Sync and data word depth
is reduced to eight bits.
The frame format in 10-bit mode is explained by example
of the readout of two (overlapping) windows as shown in
Figure 29 (a).
The readout of a frame occurs on a line-by-line basis. The
read pointer goes from left to right, bottom to top.
Figure 29 indicates that, after the FOT is completed, the
sensor reads out a number of black lines for black calibration
purposes. After these black lines, the windows are
processed. First a number of lines which only includes
information of ‘ROI 0’ are sent out, starting at position
y0_start. When the line at position y1_start is reached, a
number of lines containing data of ‘ROI 0’ and ‘ROI 1’ are
sent out, until the line position of y0_end is reached. From
there on, only data of ‘ROI 1’ appears on the data output
channels until line position y1_end is reached
During read out of the image data over the data channels,
the sync channel sends out frame synchronization codes
which give information related to the image data that is sent
over the four data output channels.
Each line of a window starts with a Line Start (LS)
indication and ends with a Line End (LE) indication. The
line start of the first line is replaced by a Frame Start (FS);
the line end of the last line is replaced with a Frame End
indication (FE). Each such frame synchronization code is
followed by a window ID (range 0 to 7). For overlapping
windows, the line synchronization codes of the overlapping
windows with lower IDs are not sent out (as shown in the

V1-SN/SE: LVDS Interface Version
LVDS Output Channels
The image data output occurs through four LVDS data
channels. A synchronization LVDS channel and an LVDS
output clock signal is foreseen to synchronize the data.
The four data channels are used to output the image data
only. The sync channel transmits information about the data
sent over these data channels (includes codes indicating
black pixels, normal pixels, and CRC codes).
8-bit / 10-bit Mode
The sensor can be used in 8-bit or 10-bit mode.
In 10-bit mode, the words on data and sync channel have
a 10-bit length. The output data rate is 620 Mbps.
In 8-bit mode, the words on data and sync channel have an
8-bit length, the output data rate is 496 Mbps.
Note that the 8-bit mode can only be used to limit the data
rate at the consequence of image data word depth. It is not
supported to operate the sensor in 8-bit mode at a higher
clock frequency to achieve higher frame rates.

• Data Classification Codes
Frame synchronization codes are always followed by a

number, ranging from 0 to 7, indicating the active window.
If more than one window is active for the current cycle, the
highest window ID is transmitted.
For the remaining cycles, the sync channel indicates the

kernel (kernel [0, 0]) is located in the bottom left corner. The
data order of this image data on the data output channels
depends on the subsampling mode.
Cyclic Redundancy Code
At the end of each line, a CRC code is calculated to allow
error detection at the receiving end. Each data channel
transmits a CRC code to protect the data words sent during
the previous cycles. Idle and training patterns are not
included in the calculation.
The sync channel is not protected. A special character
(CRC indication) is transmitted whenever the data channels
send their respective CRC code.
The polynomial in 10-bit operation mode is
x10 + x9 + x6 + x3 + x2 + x + 1. The CRC encoder is seeded
at the start of a new line and updated for every (valid) data
word received. The CRC seed is configurable using the
crc_seed register. When ‘0’, the CRC is seeded by all-‘0’;
when ‘1’ it is seeded with all-‘1’.
In 8-bit mode, the polynomial is x8 + x6 + x3 + x2 + 1.
The CRC seed is configured by means of the crc_seed
register.
Note The CRC is calculated for every line. This implies
that the CRC code can protect lines from multiple windows.

The image data is read out in kernels of eight pixels in
x-direction by one pixel in y-direction. One data channel
output delivers two pixel values of one kernel sequentially.
Figure 34 shows how a kernel is read out over the four
output channels. For even positioned kernels, the kernels are
read out ascending, while for odd positioned kernels the data
order is reversed (descending).

The frame_valid indication is asserted at the start of a new
frame and remains asserted until the last line of the frame is
completely transmitted.
The line_valid indication serves the following needs:
• While the line_valid indication is asserted, the data
channels contain valid pixel data.
• The line valid communicates frame timing as it is
asserted at the start of each line and it is de-asserted at
the end of the line. Low periods indicate the idle time
between lines (ROT).
• The data channels transmit the calculated CRC code
after each line. This can be detected as the data words
right after the falling edge of the line valid.
CMOS Output Signals
The image data output occurs through a single 10-bit
parallel CMOS data output, operating at 62 MSps. A CMOS
clock output, ‘frame valid’ and ‘line valid’ signal is foreseen
to synchronize the output data.
No windowing information is sent out by the sensor.

The 8-bit mode is not supported when using the parallel
CMOS output interface.

When ‘0’, exposure configurations are sync’ed at the start of
FOT. When ‘1’, exposure configurations sync is disabled
(continuously syncing). This
mode is only relevant for Triggered Global - master mode,
where the exposure configurations are sync’ed at the start of
exposure rather than the start of
FOT. For all other modes it
should be set to ‘0’.
Note Sync is still postponed if
sync_exposure = ‘0’.

GLOSSARY
conversion gain
A constant that converts the number of electrons collected by a pixel into the voltage swing of the pixel.
Conversion gain = q/C where q is the charge of an electron (1.602E 19 Coulomb) and C is the capacitance
of the photodiode or sense node.
CDS
Correlated double sampling. This is a method for sampling a pixel where the pixel voltage after reset is
sampled and subtracted from the voltage after exposure to light.
CFA
Color filter array. The materials deposited on top of pixels that selectively transmit color.
DNL
Differential non-linearity (for ADCs)
DSNU
Dark signal non-uniformity. This parameter characterizes the degree of non-uniformity in dark leakage
currents, which can be a major source of fixed pattern noise.
fill-factor
A parameter that characterizes the optically active percentage of a pixel. In theory, it is the ratio of the
actual QE of a pixel divided by the QE of a photodiode of equal area. In practice, it is never measured.
INL
Integral nonlinearity (for ADCs)
IR
Infrared. IR light has wavelengths in the approximate range 750 nm to 1 mm.
Lux
Photometric unit of luminance (at 550 nm, 1lux = 1 lumen/m2 = 1/683 W/m2)
pixel noise
Variation of pixel signals within a region of interest (ROI). The ROI typically is a rectangular portion of the
pixel array and may be limited to a single color plane.
photometric units
Units for light measurement that take into account human physiology.
PLS
Parasitic light sensitivity. Parasitic discharge of sampled information in pixels that have storage nodes.
PRNU
Photo-response non-uniformity. This parameter characterizes the spread in response of pixels, which is a
source of FPN under illumination.
QE
Quantum efficiency. This parameter characterizes the effectiveness of a pixel in capturing photons and
converting them into electrons. It is photon wavelength and pixel color dependent.
read noise
Noise associated with all circuitry that measures and converts the voltage on a sense node or photodiode
into an output signal.
reset
The process by which a pixel photodiode or sense node is cleared of electrons. ”Soft” reset occurs when
the reset transistor is operated below the threshold. ”Hard” reset occurs when the reset transistor is operated above threshold.
reset noise
Noise due to variation in the reset level of a pixel. In 3T pixel designs, this noise has a component (in units
of volts) proportionality constant depending on how the pixel is reset (such as hard and soft). In 4T pixel
designs, reset noise can be removed with CDS.
responsivity
The standard measure of photodiode performance (regardless of whether it is in an imager or not). Units
are typically A/W and are dependent on the incident light wavelength. Note that responsivity and sensitivity
are used interchangeably in image sensor characterization literature so it is best to check the units.
ROI
Region of interest. The area within a pixel array chosen to characterize noise, signal, crosstalk, and so on.
The ROI can be the entire array or a small subsection; it can be confined to a single color plane.
sense node
In 4T pixel designs, a capacitor used to convert charge into voltage. In 3T pixel designs it is the photodiode itself.
sensitivity
A measure of pixel performance that characterizes the rise of the photodiode or sense node signal in Volts
upon illumination with light. Units are typically V/(W/m2)/sec and are dependent on the incident light wavelength. Sensitivity measurements are often taken with 550 nm incident light. At this wavelength, 1 683 lux
is equal to 1 W/m2; the units of sensitivity are quoted in V/lux/sec. Note that responsivity and sensitivity are
used interchangeably in image sensor characterization literature so it is best to check the units.
spectral response
The photon wavelength dependence of sensitivity or responsivity.
SNR
Signal-to-noise ratio. This number characterizes the ratio of the fundamental signal to the noise spectrum
up to half the Nyquist frequency.
temporal noise
Noise that varies from frame to frame. In a video stream, temporal noise is visible as twinkling pixels.
