The Advanced Auto Control Function (A2CF) will be used
for colour CCD camera systems.
The input signals are CDS (AF data) from 8-bit ADC,
Y (for AE, 5-bit) and UV (for AWB, 8-bit) data as the output
of SAA9750H (CAMDSP) and they are fed into the A2CF.
After being processed in the A2CF, corresponding data
are led into the microprocessor.
Together with the zoom encoder and focus sensor output
the microprocessor does the following control with the data
of A2CF:
• Control focus motor
• Control iris, AGC (via DAC) and high speed shutter
• Send the control data to SAA9750H (CAMDSP) via
serial bus.
CLK1 is depending on the CCD type. To cope with the
different CCD clocks, some reference data have to be set
by the microprocessor.
AF system

This maximum focus value is accumulated in the AF
window (see Fig.3) by the 18-bit adder. The values in the
large window are stored in REG2 (see Table 7) and those
in the small window are stored in REG3 (see Table 7).
Which data is used is dependent on the software (see
Tables 6 and 7). Besides this accumulation, line peak
accumulation is also done. This data is the maximum value
in one field and is stored in REG0 (see Table 7).

Digital CDS signals CDS7 to CDS0 which come after
AGC, gamma processing and ADC are fed into A2CF.
This 8-bit data is shifted to the most suitable 6-bit data for
AF processing by microprocessor. For example, when the
MSB of them is ‘1’ then the 6-bit data is shifted by the
microprocessor to CDS7 to CDS2
(not CDS6 to CDS1 or CDS5 to CDS0; see Table 4). After
AF shifting the signals go through an LPF and they are
down sampled. The down sampling is done by CLK2
(CLK1/2). In order to detect the high frequency component
for AF processing, one HPF is added. This output is the
focus value. Next peak hold block is for acquiring
maximum focus value of every line in one field.
5-bit Y signals Y7 to Y3 which come from SAA9750H are
fed into A2CF for AE processing. This signal is internally
extended to 6 bits by adding a ‘0’ as new MSB. Next they
go through an LPF and they are down sampled in the
same way as AF processing. In order to prevent overflow
of the 18-bit adder block, 2 modes exist (see Table 4).
The first is H decimation is on oroff. If H decimation is on,
then the data for AE processing is available in every other
line. The second mode is that the data for AE processing
1
is shifted to
⁄2 or not. If the data is shifted to1⁄2, it is done
before down sampling and before the data going to the
18-bit adder becomes1⁄2. Both these modes are controlled
by the microprocessor. In AE mode there are 5 windows
as shown in Fig.4. These windows are controlled by the
microprocessor. The accumulation data in window 1 to
window 5 is respectively stored in REG1 to REG5 (see
Table 7). The white-clip count data in the centre window is
stored to the lower 5 bits of REG0 (see Table 7).
The upper 3 bits of REG0 is the overflow information in the
18-bit adder (see Table 7).

AWB system
8-bit UV signals UV[7] to UV[0] which come from the
SAA9750H (CAMDSP) are fed into the A2CF for AWB
processing. First the 8-bit data is limited to 6-bits because
the necessary data for AWB processing is around the
white colour signal. Then these signals go through an LPF
and they are down sampled. They are separated to U and
V signals by using UV_SEL coming from SAA9750H
(CAMDSP). As shown in Table 1, in the large window
these signals are compared with the threshold that is set
by the microprocessor. If the conditions shown in Fig.8 are
valid, the data is available for AWB processing. If the
conditions aren’t valid, the data is ignored. The available
data in the first to the 4th quadrant are stored in
mode (see Table 4) is for detecting whether the picture is
mono colour or not. If the AWB (B − Y) or AWB (R − Y) or
AWB (∆) (see Table 4) mode is active and white-clip or
AWB limited (as mentioned above), then the counts of
them are stored in the lower 5 bits of REG0 (see Table 7).
In the AWB Y mode the lower 4 bits of REG0 are contrast
peak data in one field and the 4th bit is the overflow
information of the AF (see Table 7).
Microprocessor interface
8-bit data bus and 3 control ports are prepared (WRB,
RDB and ASTB) for microprocessor interface in A2CF for
quick data access instead of serial bus. A2CF has 11 read
commands and 13 write commands.
