An H driver (IC902) and V driver (IC904) are necessary in
order to generate the clocks (vertical transfer clock, horizontal transfer clock and electronic shutter clock) which
driver the CCD.
IC902 is an inverter IC which drives the horizontal CCDs
(H1 and H2). In addition the XV1-XV4 signals which are
output from IC102 are the vertical transfer clocks, and the
XSG1 and XSG signal which is output from IC102 is superimposed onto XV1 and XV3 at IC904 in order to generate a
ternary pulse. In addition, the XSUB signal which is output
from IC102 is used as the sweep pulse for the electronic
shutter, and the RG signal which is output from IC102 is
the reset gate clock.

The video signal which is output from the CCD is input to
Pins (26) and (27) of IC905. There are S/H blocks inside
IC905 generated from the XSHP and XSHD pulses, and it
is here that CDS (correlated double sampling) is carried
out.
After passing through the CDS circuit, the signal passes
through the AGC amplifier. It is A/C converted internally
into a 10-bit signal, and is then input to IC102 of the CA2
circuit board.

5. Transfer of Electric Charge by the Horizontal CCD
The transfer system for the horizontal CCD emplays a 2-phase drive method.
The electric charges sent to the final stage of the horizontal CCD are transferred to the floating diffusion, as shown in Fig. 1-
6. RG is turned on by the timing in (1), and the floating diffusion is charged to the potential of PD. The RG is turned off by the
timing in (2). In this condition, the floating diffusion is floated at high impedance. The H1 potential becomes shallow by the
timing in (3), and the electric charge now moves to the floating diffusion.
Here, the electric charges are converted into voltages at the rate of V = Q/C by the equivalent capacitance C of the floating
diffusion. RG is then turned on again by the timing in (1) when the H1 potential becomes deep.
Thus, the potential of the floating diffusion changes in proportion to the quantity of transferred electric charge, and becomes
CCD output after being received by the source follower. The equivalent circuit for the output circuit is shown in Fig. 1-7.

γ correction circuit
γγ
This circuit performs (gamma) correction in order to maintain a linear relationship between the light input to the camera and the light output from the picture screen.
2. Color generation circuit
This circuit converts the CCD data into RGB signals.
3. Matrix circuit
This circuit generates the Y signals, R-Y signals and B-Y
signals from the RGB signals.
4. Horizontal and vertical aperture circuit
This circuit is used gemerate the aperture signal.
1-3. AE/AWB and AF computing circuit
The AE/AWB carries out computation based on a 64-segment screen, and the AF carries out computations based
on a 6-segment screen.
1-4. SDRAM controller
This circuit outputs address, RAS, CAS and AS data for
controlling the SDRAM. It also refreshes the SDRAM.
1-5. SIO
This is the interface for the 8-bit microprocessor.
1-6. PIO/PWM/SIO for LCD
8-bit parallel input and output makes it possible to switch
between individual input/output and PWM input/output.
1-7. TG/SG
Timing generated for 2 million pixel CCD control.
1-8. Digital encorder
It generates chroma signal from color difference signal.
2. Outline of Operation
When the shutter opens, the reset signals (ASIC and CPU)
and the serial signals (“take a picture” commands) from
the 8-bit microprocessor are input and operation starts.
When the TG/SG drives the CCD, picture data passes
through the A/D and CDS, and is then input to the ASIC as
10-bit data.
The AF, AE, AWB, shutter, and AGC value are computed
from this data, and three exposures are made to obtain the
optimum picture. The data which has already been
stored in the SDRAM is read by the CPU and color generation is carried out. Each pixel is interpolated from the surrounding data as being either Ye, Cy, Mg or B primary color
data to produce R, G and B data. At this time, correction of
the lens distortion which is a characteristic of wide-angle
lenses is carried out. After AWB and γ processing are carried out, a matrix is generated and aperture correction is
carried out for the Y signal, and the data is then compressed by JPEG and is then written to card memory (smart
media).
When the data is to be output to an external device, it is
taken data from the memory and output via the USART.
When played back on the LCD and monitor, data is transferred from memery to the SDRAM, and the image is then
elongated so that it is displayed over the SDRAM display
area.
3. LCD Block
During monitoring, YUV conversion is carried out for the
10-bit CCD data which is input from the A/D conversion
block to the ASIC and is then transferred to the SDRAM so
that the CCD data can be displayed on the LCD.
The data which has accumulated in the SDRAM is passed
through the NTSC encoder , and after D/A conversion is
carried out to change the data into a Y/C signal, the data is
sent to the LCD panel and displayed.
If the shutter button is pressed in this condition, the 10-bit
data which is output from the A/D conversion block of the
CCD is sent to the SDRAM (DMA transfer), and after processor, it is displayed on the LCD as a freeze-frame image.
During playback, the JPEG image data which has accumulated in the flash memory is converted to YUV signals, and
then in the same way as during monitoring, it is passed
through the NTSC endoder, and after D/A conversion is
carried out to change the data into a Y/C signal, the data is
sent to the LCD panel and displayed.
The two analog signal (Y/C signals) from the ASIC are converted into RGB signals by the LCD driver, and these RGB
signals and the control signal which is output by the LCD
driver are used to drive the LCD panel. The RGB signals
are 1H transposed so that no DC component is present in
the LCD element, and the two horizontal shift register clocks
drive the horizontal shift registers inside the LCD panel so
that the 1H transposed RGB signals are applied to the LCD
panel. Because the LCD closes more as the difference in
potential between the COM (common polar voltage: fixed
at DC) and the R, G and B signals becomes greater, the
display becomes darker; if the difference in potential is
smaller, the element opens and the LCD become brighter.

This is the basic circuit which is necessary for controlling
the power supply for a PWM-type switching regulator, and
is provided with four five-in channels, only CH2 (digital 5.1
V, analog system), CH4 (LCD system), CH3 (digital 3.35

PWM duty is varied so that each one is maintained at the
correct voltage setting level. LCD backlight (CH1) and EVF
backlight (CH5) provide feedback on the voltages at both

be carried out in order to maintain the current at the setting
level.
2-1. Short-circuit protection circuit
If output is short-circuited for the length of time determined
by the condenser which is connected to Pin (29) of IC501,
all output is turned off. The control signal (P ON, P(A) ON,
LCD ON, LCD BL and EVF BL) are recontrolled to restore
output.
3. Digital 5.1 V and Analog System Power Output
5.1 V (D) , 15.0 V (A), -7.6 V (A) and 5.0 V (A) are output.

[4] ST1 STROBE CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
1. Charging Circuit
When UNREG power is supplied to the charge circuit and
the CHG signal from SYA circuit on the CP1 board becomes
High (3.3 V), the charging circuit starts operating and the
main electorolytic capacitor is charged with high-voltage
direct current.
However, when the CHG signal is Low (0 V), the charging
circuit does not operate.
1-1. Power switch
When the CHG signal switches to Hi, Q5406 turns ON and
the charging circuit starts operating.
1-2. Power supply filter
L5401 and C5401 constitute the power supply filter. They
smooth out ripples in the current which accompany the
switching of the oscillation transformer.
1-3. Oscillation circuit
This circuit generates an AC voltage (pulse) in order to increase the UNREG power supply voltage when drops in
current occur. This circuit generates a drive pulse with a
frequency of approximately 50-100 kHz. Because self-excited light omission is used, the oscillation frequency
changes according to the drive conditions.
2. Light Emission Circuit
When RDY and TRIG signals are input from the ASIC expansion port, the stroboscope emits light.
2-1. Emission control circuit
When the RDY signal is input to the emission control circuit, Q5409 switches on and preparation is made to let current flow to the light emitting element. Moreover, when a
STOP signal is input, the stroboscope stops emitting light.
2-2. Trigger circuit
When a TRIG signal is input to the trigger circuit, D5405
switches on, a high-voltage pulse of several kilovolts is generated inside the trigger circuit, and this pulse is then applied to the light emitting part.
2-3. Light emitting element
When the high-voltage pulse form the trigger circuit is applied to the light emitting part, currnet flows to the light emitting element and light is emitted.
Beware of electric shocks.
1-4. Oscillation transformer
The low-voltage alternating current which is generated by
the oscillation control circuit is converted to a high-voltage
alternating current by the oscillation transformer.
1-5. Rectifier circuit
The high-voltage alternating current which is generated at
the secondary side of T5401 is rectified to produce a highvoltage direct current and is accumulated at electrolytic capacitor C5412 on the main circuit board.
1-6. Voltage monitoring circuit
This circuit is used to maintain the voltage accumulated at
C5412 at a constance level.
After the charging voltage is divided and converted to a
lower voltage by R5417 and R5419, it is output to the SYA
circuit on the CP1 board as the monitoring voltage VMONIT.
When this VMONIT voltage reaches a specified level at the
SYA circuit on the CP1 board, the CHG signal is switched
to Low and charging is interrupted.

4. Power Supply Control
The 8-bit microprocessor controls the power supply for the overall system.
The following is a description of how the power supply is turned on and off. When the battery is attached, a regulated 3.2 V
voltage is normally input to the 8-bit microprocessor (IC301) by IC302, so that clock counting and key scanning is carried out
even when the power switch is turned off, so that the camera can start up again. When the battery is removed, the 8-bit
microprocessor operates in sleep mode using the backup capacitor. At this time, the 8-bit microprocessor only carries out
clock counting, and waits in standby for the battery to be attached again. When a switch is operated, the 4-bit microprocessor supplies power to the system as required.
The 8-bit microprocessor first sets both the P ON signal at pin (5) and the PA ON signal at pin (6) to high, and then turns on
the DC/DC converter. After this, High signals are output from pins (63) and (64) so that the ASIC and the SPARC lite are set
to the active condition. If the LCD monitor is on, the LCD ON signal at pin (7) set to high, the DC/DC converter for the LCD
monitor is turned on, and is controlled backlight both the LCD BL signal at pin (8) and the EVF BL signal at pin (60). Once
SPARC lite processing is completed, the ASIC and the SPARC lite return to the reset condition, all DC/DC converters are
turned off and the power supply to the whole system is halted.
