Main Features
Video Output
The VV5402 delive rs a fu lly -f ormatted
composit e m onochro m e v ideo signa l. S ta ndards optio ns include EIA (320 x 244) and
CCIR (384 x 287). On chip signal conditioning
allows user-select ion of linear or gam macorrected output.
The in tegra ted 75Ω driver eliminates the need
for additio nal active com ponents t o drive
standar d loads, inclu ding double t erminated
lines.
Automatic Exposure and Gain Control
Automa tic exposure and gain co nt rol are
enabled wi th AEC=1 (pin 21) and AGC = 1
(pin22). H ow ever, If AEC is inhibited by pin
21, AGC is als o inhibited . Inh ibiting AEC or
AGC by tak ing pin 21 or 22 low freeze s th e
current value(s) for th es e.
Automatic Gai n Con tr o l (AGC)
The VV5402 auto m at ic ally increas es t he
system gain of its output stage if with the
current gain setting and maximu m ex posure
the image is too dark. Gain can be varied from
x1 to x16 in times-two steps, giving five
different gain settings.
If the scene is too dark and the integration
period has almost reached its maximum
value, the gain valu e is inc remented by one
step (times two). In the same frame period the
exposure value is divided by two, halving the
integrat ion period. Th e exposure c ontroller
then inc reases the e xp os ure value as nec essary. Sim ilarly if the image is too bright and
the integration period is short then gain will be
reduced by one ste p (divide by two) and the
exposure value will be doubled. The exposure
controller can then adjust the exposure value
as nece s sa ry to provide a correctly exposed
image.
Automatic Exposure Control (AEC)
The VV5402 controls ex posure over a range
of 99,000 :1 in EIA mode and 146,00 0: 1 in
CCIR mode, and operates at illumination
levels as low as 0.5 lux at sta ndard clock
frequencies. (The syst em clock frequency can
be reduced to provide increased sensitivity.)
Automa tic exposure c ontrol is ach iev ed by
varying p ix el c urrent integration tim e
accordin g t o t he average light level on th e
sensor. T his int egration time can vary fro m
one pixel c loc k period to on e fr am e period.
reliminary
P
Pixels ab ov e a threshold white leve l are
counted ev ery f rame, and th e number at t he
end of the frame defines the image exposure.
If the image is other than correctly exposed, a
new value for integration time is calculated
and appli ed for the nex t frame. Corre c t ions
are either ±1/8 or ±1/64, depending upon the
degree o f over or under ex posure.
Backlit Mode
The VV5402 can b e c onf igured to o perate in
two auto-exposure modes, selected by the
BKLIT pin (pin28) stat e. The defa ult m ode
(BKLIT = 0) provides exposure control for
normally illuminated scenes . For scenes
where a bright back ground can ca us e the
foreground subje c t to be severely under
exposed, the ‘Backlit’ mode (BKLIT = 1) offers
superior performance.
‘Backlit Mode’ (BKLIT=1) operates by using a
higher threshold level for the exposure control
comparator over the central area of an image,
which is t herefore exposed for longer and s o
enhan ce d. T he area in wh ic h t he higher
compa rat or threshold is used when BK LI T = 1
is illustrat ed below:
