3. IC902, IC903 (V Driver) and IC905 (H driver)

An H driver and V driver are necessary in order to generate the clocks (vertical transfer clock, horizontal transfer clock and electronic shutter clock) which driver the CCD. IC902 and IC903 are V driver. In addition the XV1-XV6 signals which are output from IC101 are the vertical transfer clocks, and the XSG signal is superimposed at IC902 and IC903 in order to generate a ternary pulse. In addition, the XSUB signal which is output from IC101 is used as the sweep pulse for the electronic shutter. A H driver is inside IC905, and H1, H2 and RG clock are generated at IC905.

4. IC905 (CDS, AGC Circuit and A/D Converter)

The video signal which is output from the CCD is input to Pin (27) of IC905. There are inside the sampling hold block, AGC block and A/D converter block. The setting of sampling phase and AGC amplifier is carried out by serial data at Pin (32). The video signal is carried out A/D converter, and is output by 12-bit.

1-2. CP1 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

1. Circuit Description 1-1. Digital clamp

The optical black section of the CCD extracts averaged values from the subsequent data to make the black level of the CCD output data uniform for each line. The optical black section of the CCD averaged value for each line is taken as the sum of the value for the previous line multiplied by the coefficient k and the value for the current line multiplied by the coefficient 1-k.

1-2. Signal processor

1. γ correction circuit

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 6segment 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. Communication control

1. SIO

This is the interface for the 8-bit microprocessor.

2. PIO/PWM/SIO for LCD

8-bit parallel input and output makes it possible to switch between individual input/output and PWM input/output.

1-6. TG/SG

Timing generated for 4 million pixel horizontal addtion CCD control.

1-7. 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 12-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 (SD card). When the data is to be output to an external device, it is taken data from the memory and output via the USB I/F. 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

LCD block is in the CP1 board, and it is constructed by VCOM gerenated circuit etc. The video signal from the ASIC are input to LCD panel directly by 6-bit digital signal, and are converted into RGB signals by driver circuit in the LCD panel. Because the LCD closes more as the difference in potential between the VCOM (common polar voltage: AC) and the R, G and B signals becomes greater, the display becomes darker; if the difference inpotential is smaller, the element opens and the LCD becomes brighter. And also timing pulse except video signal are input at LCD panel directly from ASIC.

4. Lens drive block

4-1. Iris drive

When the drive signals (AMIN_A and AMIN_-A) which are output from the ASIC (IC101), it is driven by the driver (IC951), and are then used to drive the iris steps.

4-2. Focus drive

When the drive signals (FIN_A, FIN_-A, FIN_B and FIN_-B) which are output from the ASIC expansion I/O port (IC106), the focus stepping motor is driven by the driver (IC951). Detection of the standard focusing positions is carried out by means of the photointerruptor (FOCUS PI) inside the lens block.

4-3. Zoom drive

When the drive signals (ZIN_A, ZIN_-A, ZIN_B and ZIN_-B) which are output from the ASIC (IC101), the zoom stepping motor is driven by the driver (IC951). Detection of the standard zoom positions is carried out by means of photointerruptor (ZOOM PI) inside the lens block.

4-4. Shutter drive

When the drive signals (SMIN_A and SMIN_-A) which are output from the ASIC (IC101), it is driven regular current by the driver (IC951).
