10-Bit and 12-Bit Short Exposure Modes (IMG.2 and IMG.5)

The 10-bit and 12-bit short exposure modes target the usage of a minimal exposure time. These

modes should only be used when very short exposure times are required. The short exposure modes

have the following limitations:

●

Pipelined exposure is not possible. This means a new exposure cannot be started when the

readout of the previous frame is still ongoing.

●

Shutter lag matching cannot be disabled. This means it is not possible to start exposure

immediately after the exposure request.

The maximum recommended exposure time in the short exposure modes is limited to 100 µs. For

longer exposure times, it is recommended to use the default modes (IMG.1 or IMG.4).

The image readout area and output image format is identical to the default modes (IMG.1 and IMG.4),

as shown in Figure 57.

10-Bit Small Window Mode (IMG.3)

The 10-bit small window mode result in an increased maximum frame rate when the vertical ROI is

limited. The frame rate increase is achieved by disabling the pixel control signal drivers in the unused

part of the image array, which reduces the required time of the global sample period.

The small window modes have the following limitations:

●

The vertical ROI is limited to a centered window of maximum 2x200 rows. Rows outside this

centered region cannot be read out.
