LM9702 Real Time Digital Image Processor
General Description
The LM97 02 co ntai ns all function s nee de d to build a VGA digita l
stil l and/or video camera. It incorporate s a 16 bit RISC micr oprocessor, a flexible image processing pipeline, hardware JPEG
compression, and the required periphery modules in a single IC.
This architecture allows a very fast click-to-click time and full resolution video wi thout sac rificing image qua lity or c ost; becau se
the co mp uta t io n ex tensive op er a ti on s ar e p r oc es s ed by c i r cu itry
dedica ted to image processing. T he highly o ptimized mem ory
manage ment provided by the LM9702 keeps the memor y cost of
the complete camera to a minimum.
A chip set compr ising of the LM9702 and a National VGA CMOS
image sensor complemented by a lens, battery, compact flash,
power management for the battery, and LCD (optional) yields a
comple te high perfo rmance cost effective digital still and/or video
camera.
