7.4.12.7 General White Loop Operation

The White Peak value is determined by a moving window average done throughout the Active/White pixels

region of the line (see to Figure 16). The size of the moving window is set at Page 2, Register 4, Bits[2:0]. 4, 8,

16 or 32 (default) pixels are averaged together at a time and compared with the previous Peak White value. If

the new White Average is greater than the previous Peak White value, then the Peak White value is set equal to

the White Average. The window is then shifted over to the next group of pixels (one window width) and a new

average is calculated. This process is repeated until the Active/White Pixels End value is reached. The final Peak

White value is then compared with the White Target value (Page 2, Register 5). The gain settings are then

adjusted to make the Peak White value closer to the White Target value.

7.4.12.8 White Loop Modes

•

White Full Calibration (Cold start or Pre-Job): In this mode, the gain settings are completely reset to

default at the beginning of the loop. The first change or gain decision is whether the CDS/SH gain setting will

be 1x or 2x. Subsequent decisions are made to adjust the PGA setting to the provide the Peak White value

that is closest to the White Target value

•

White Fine Tuning (Page Gap Calibration): In this mode, the previous gain settings are used as the starting

point. The CDS/ SH gain setting will not be changed. The PGA gain will be increased or decreased by one

step at a time, to fine tune the gain. This mode is normally used where only minor changes in the white level

are expected.

7.4.12.9 Bimodal (Automatic) Correction

Due to the architecture of the ADC used in the LM98722, it is possible that a small offset in the resulting data will

be present between the Even and Odd pixels processed by the device. This offset is referred to as a Bimodal

distribution in the data. It can occur because the signals being processed go through two different paths to

achieve the required throughput. Each of these paths can give a slightly different signal offset, resulting in the

bimodal distribution in output data, for a given fixed input voltage.

When the automatic Black Level (offset) correction circuit is engaged, a portion of that circuitry automatically

corrects the bimodal distribution. The bimodal correction applied is stored at Page 1, Registers 0x1Ch, 0x1Dh,

and 0x1Eh. The stored value is divided by two. Half is added to the Even pixels, and half is subtracted from the

Odd pixels.
