LM9638 Monochrome CMOS Image Sensor SXGA 18 FPS
General Description
Applications
The LM9638 is a high performance, low power, 1/2" SXGA
CMOS Active Pixel Sensor capable of capturing monochrome
still or motion images and converting them to a digital data
stream.
f Security Camera

Key Specifications
speed 10 bit A/D convertor, fixed pattern noise elimination cir-
cuits and a programmable gain amplifier. The offset and black
level can be automatically adjusted on chip using a full loop
black level compensation circuit.
