3. IC902, IC904, IC908 (H Driver) and IC907 (V 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, IC904 and IC908 are inverter IC which drives the hori­zontal CCDs (H1 and H2). In addition the XV1-XV3 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 XV2A and XV2B at IC907 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.

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

The video signal which is output from the CCD is input to Pin
(30) 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. The gain of the AGC amplifier is controlled by serial
data which is output from 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.

1-2. CA2 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

1. Circuit Description
1-1. Scannning converter (Interlace converter)

This circuit uses the function of a 64-Mbit SDRAMs to con­vert the non-interlaced signal which is output from the CCD
into an interlaced signal for the video monitor.

1-2. Camera signal processor

This comprises circuits such as the digial clamp circuit, white
balance circuit, γcircuit, color signal generation circuit, ma­trix circuit and horizontal aperture circuit.

1. Digital clamp circuit

The optical black section of the CCD extracts 16-pixel aver­aged values from the subsequent data to make the black level
of the CCD output data uniform for each line. The 16-pixel
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.

2. White balance circuit

This circuit controls the white balance by using the A WB judge­ment value computed by the CPU to control the gain for each
R, G and B pixel based on the CCD data which has been
read.

3. γ circuit

This circuit performs (gamma) correction in order to maintain
a linear relat ionship b etween the light i nput to the camer a
and the light output from the picture screen.

4. Color generation circuit

This circuit converts the CCD da ta int o RGB signal s.

5. Matrix circuit

This circuit generates the Y s ignals , R-Y signals and B-Y sig­nals from the RGB signals.

1-8. 8-bit D/A circuit (Audio)

This circuit converts the audio signals (analog signals) from
the microphone to 8-bit digital signals.

1-9. 8-bit A/D circuit (Audio)

The audio signals which were converted to digial form by the
8-bit A/D circuit are temporarily to a sound buffer and then
recorded in the SSFDC card. During playback, the 8-bit D/A
circuit converts these signals into analog audio signals.

1-10. Sound buffer

Audio memory

1-11. LCD driver

The Y/C signals which are input to the LCD driver are con­verted to RGB signals, and the timing signal which is neces­sary for LCD monitor display and the RGB signals are then
supplied to the LCD monitor.

1-12. LCD monitor

This is the image display device which displays the image
signals supplied from the LCD driver.

1-13. UART

This circuit is used for transmitting serial data to a PC. The
interface is RS-232C-compatible.

1-14. Memory card control

This reads data from the memory card and stores it in SDRAM,
and writes out the image data stored in SDRAM. In addition,
error correction is carried out when the data is read.

1-15. MJPEG compression

Still and continuous frame data is converted to JPEG format,
and movie images are compressed and expanded in MJPEG
format.

6. Horizontal aperture circuit

This circuit is used generate the aperture signal.

1-3. SDRAM controller

This circuit outputs address, RAS, CAS and AS data for con­trolling the SDRAM. It also refr eshes the S DRA M.

1-4. PIO

The expansion parallel port can be used for functions such
as stroboscope control and LCD driver control.

1-5. SIO (Serial control)

This is the interface for the 4-bit mic roprocessor.

1-6. USB control

This is comunicated PC with 12 Mbps.

1-7. TG, SG block

This is the timing generation circuit which generates the clocks
(vertical transfer clock and electronic shutter clock) which drive
the CCD.

2. Outline of Operation

When the shutter opens, the reset signals, TEST0, TEST1
and the serial signals (“take a picture” commands) from the
8-bit microprocessor are input and record operation starts.
When the TG drives the CCD, picture data passes through
the A/D and is then input to the ASIC as 10-bit data. This data
then passes through the DCLP, AWB, shutter and γcircuit,
after which it is input to the SDRAM. The AWB, shutter, γ,
and AGC value are computed from this data, and two 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 R, G 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. Aperture correction is carried out, and
in case of still picture the data is then compressed by the
JPEG method and in case of picture it is compressed by
MJPEG method and is written to compact flash card. When
the data is to be output to an external device, it is read JPEG
picture data from the compact flash card and output to PC via
the UART.

3. LCD Block

During EE, gamma conversion is carried out for the 10-bit
RGB data which is input from the A/D conversion block of the
CCD to the ASIC in order that the γrevised can be displayed
on the video. The YUV of 640 x 480 is then transferred to the
SVRAM.
The data which has accumulated in the SDRAM is after D/A
conversion is carried out by SDRAM control circuit inside the
ASIC, makes 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 is displayed
on the LCD as a freeze-frame image.
During playback, the JPEG image data which has accumu­lated in the compact flash card is converted to RGB signals.
In the same way as for EE, the data is then sent to the SDRAM,
after which D/A conversion is carried out inside the ASIC,
and then the data is sent to the LCD panel and displayed.
The LCD driver is converted Y/C signals to RGB signals from
ASIC, 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 VCOM (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. In addition, the bright­ness and contrast settings for the LCD can be varied by means
of the serial data from the ASIC.

1-5. PW1 STROBE CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

1. Charging Circuit

When UNREG power is supplied to the charge circuit and the
CHG signal 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 SY1 circuit
board as the monitoring voltage VMONIT. When this VMONIT
voltage reaches a specified level at the SY1 circuit board, the
CHG signal is switched to Low and charging is interrupted.
