Frame Exposure Mode
OV8610/OV8110 supports frame exposure mode when FREX
is set high. PWDN is asserted by an external master device to
set exposure time at this mode. The pixel array is quickly pre-
charged when PWDN is set to “1”. OV8610/OV8110 captures
the image in the time period when PWDN remains high. The
video data stream is delivered to output port in a line-by-line
manner after PWDN switches to “0”.
It should be noted that PWDN must remain high long enough to
ensure the entire image array has been pre-charged.
Reset
OV8610/8110 includes a RESET pin (pin 2) that forces a
complete hardware reset when it is pulled high (VCC).
OV8610/8110 clears all registers and resets to their default
values when a hardware reset occurs. Reset can also be
initiated through the SCCB interface.
Power Down Mode
Two methods are available to place OV8610 into power-down
mode: hardware power-down and SCCB software power-down.
To initiate hardware power-down, the PWDN pin (9) must be
tied to high (+3.3VDC). When this occurs, the OV8610 internal
device clock is halted and all internal counters are reset. The
current draw is less than 10
μ
A in this standby mode.
Executing a software power-down through the SCCB interface
suspends internal circuit activity, but does not halt the device
clock. The current requirements drop to less than 1mA in this
mode.
Configure OV8610/OV8110
The method to configure OV8610/OV8110 is to use its on-chip
SCCB register programming capability. The SCCB interface
provides access to all of the device’s programmable internal
registers.
