Exposure and gain control

VS6663CC does not contain any form of automatic exposure control. To produce a correctly

exposed image the integration period and analog gain for the pixels must be calculated by

an exposure control algorithm implemented externally. The parameters are then written to

the VS6663CC through the CCI interface.

The exposure control parameters available on VS6663CC are:

•

fine integration time

•

coarse integration time

•

analog gain

•

digital gain

The exposure control parameter registers are defined in Section 4.2.6: Integration time and

gain registers [0x0200 to 0x02FF] on page 26.

Integration time and analog gain capability registers should be used to determine the

exposure control parameter limits for a given video timing configuration.

6.3.1

Gain model

VS6663CC only supports the single global analog gain mode.The gain is monotonic to

avoid instabilities in the exposure loop VS6663CC has a 16-bit register (0x0204 and

0x0205) to control analog gain.

Figure 18 shows how the analog gain bits are used for VS6663CC.

Figure 18. Analog gain register format

The following generic equation describes VS6663CC gain behavior specified by the analog

gain description registers 0x008A to 0x0093:

where:

m1 = -1

c0 = 256

c1 = 256

Table 25 specifies the valid analog gain values for VS6663CC.
