LM9648 Color CMOS Image Sensor SXGA 18 FPS
General Description
Applications
The LM9648 is a high performance, low power, 1/2" SXGA
CMOS Active Pixel Sensor capable of capturing color still or
motion images and converting them to a digital data stream.
f Dual Mode Camera
f Digital Still Camera
f Security Camera
f Machine Vision
Mega-pixel class image quality is achieved by integrating a high
performance analog signal processor comprising of
a high
speed 10 bit A/D convertor, fixed pattern noise elimination cir-
cuits and separate color gain amplifiers. The offset and black
level can be automatically adjusted on chip using a full loop
black level compensation circuit.
