MT9V126: 1/4-Inch Color CMOS NTSC/PAL Digital Image Sensor General Description General Description The ON Semiconductor MT9V126 is a VGA-format, single-chip CMOS active-pixel digital image sensor for automotive applications. It captures high-quality color images at VGA resolution and outputs NTSC or PAL interlaced composite video. The VGA CMOS image sensor features ON Semiconductor’ s breakthrough low-noise CMOS imaging technology that achieves near-CCD image quality (based on signal-to- noise ratio and low-light sensitivity) while maintaining the inherent size, cost, low power, and integration advantages of ON Semiconductor's advanced active pixel CMOS process technology. The MT9V126 is a complete camera-on-a-chip. It incorporates sophisticated camera functions on-chip and is programmable through a simple two-wire serial interface or by an attached SPI Flash memory that contains setup information that may be loaded auto- matically at startup. The MT9V126 performs sophisticated processing functions including color recovery, color correction, sharpening, programmable gamma correction, auto black reference clamping, auto exposure, 50Hz/60Hz flicker avoidance, lens shading correction, auto white balance (AWB), and on-the-fly defect identification and correction. The MT9V126 outputs interlaced-scan images at 30 or 25 fps, supporting both NTSC and PAL video formats. The image data can be output on one or two output ports: Composite analog video (single-end ed and differential output support) Parallel 8-, 10-bit digital The integrated lens correction and overlay generation for steering guidance eliminates expensive overlay processing that is usually required by an external DSP; this signifi- cantly reduces overall costs.

Crystal Usage As an alternative to using an external oscillator, a fundamental 27 MHz crystal may be connected between EXTCLK and XTAL. Two small loading capacitors of 15–22pF of NPO dielectric should be added as shown in Figure 3. ON Semiconductor does not recommend using the crystal option for automotive appli- cations above 85 °C. A crystal oscillator with temperature compensation is recom- mended. Figure 3: Using a Crystal Instead of an External Oscillator When using Xtal as the clock source, the internal inverter circuit has a 100K bias resistor in parallel to Xtal, which can be connected or disconnected by register 0x0014 bit[14].

The reason for defining the default state as lo gic 0 rather than high impedance is this: when wired in a system (for example, on our demo boards), these outputs will be connected, and the inputs to which they are connected will want to see a valid logic level. No current drain should result from driving these to a valid logic level (unless there is a pull-up at the system level). 2. These pads have their input circuitry powered down, but they are not output-enabled. Therefore, they can be left floating but they will not drive a valid logic level to an attached device. FRAME_VALID High impedance High impedance Input/Output. This interface disabled by default. Input buffers (used for GPIO function) powered down by default, so these pins can be left unconnected (floating). After reset, these pins are powered up, sampled, then powered down again as part of the auto- configuration mechanism. See Note 2. LINE_VALID PIXCLK High impedance Driven, logic 0 Output.

Test Patterns During normal operation of the MT9V126, a stream of raw image data from the sensor core is continuously fed into the color pipeline. For test purposes, this stream can be replaced with a fixed image generated by a special test module in the pipeline. The module provides a selection of test patterns sufficient for basic testing of the pipeline. Test patterns are accessible by programming a register and are shown in Figure 11. ON Semiconductor recommends disabling the MCU before enabling test patterns. Figure 11: Color Bar Test Pattern Test Pattern Example Flat Field Vertical Ramp Color Bar Vertical Stripes Pseudo-Random

MT9V126: 1/4-Inch Color CMOS NTSC/PAL Digital Image Sensor Sensor Pixel Array NTSC/PAL Test Pattern Generation There is a built-in standard EIA (NTSC) and EBU (PAL) color bars to support hue and color saturation characterization. Each pattern consists of seven color bars (white, yellow, cyan, green, magenta, red, and blue). The Y, Cb and Cr values for each bar are detailed in Tables 7 and 8. The test pattern is invoked through a Host Command call to the TX Manager. See the MT9V126 Host Command Specification. Figure 12: Color Bars CCIR-656 Format The color bar data is encoded in 656 data streams. The duration of the blanking and active video periods of the generated 656 data are summarized in the following tables.

MT9V126: 1/4-Inch Color CMOS NTSC/PAL Digital Image Sensor Sensor Pixel Array MT9V126_DS Rev. J Pub. 5/15 EN 25 ©Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC,2015. Black Level Subtraction and Digital Gain Image stream processing starts with black level subtraction and multiplication of all pixel values by a programmable digital gain. Both operations can be independently set to separate values for each color channel (R, Gr, Gb, B). Independent color channel digital gain can be adjusted with registers. Independent color channel black level adjust- ments can also be made. If the black level subtraction produces a negative result for a particular pixel, the value of this pixel is set to 0. Positional Gain Adjustments (PGA) Lenses tend to produce images whose brightness is significantly attenuated near the edges. There are also other factors causing fixed pattern signal gradients in images captured by image sensors. The cumulative result of all these factors is known as image shading. The MT9V126 has an embedded shading correction module that can be programmed to counter the shading effects on each individual R, Gb, Gr, and B color signal. The Correction Function The correction functions can then be applied to each pixel value to equalize the response across the image as follows: (EQ 1) where P are the pixel values and f is the color dependent correction functions for each color channel. Color Interpolation In the raw data stream fed by the sensor core to the IFP , each pixel is represented by a 10-bit integer number, which can be considered proportional to the pixel's response to a one-color light stimulus, red, green, or blue, depending on the pixel's position under the color filter array. Initial data processing steps, up to and including the defect correction, preserve the one-color-per-pixel nature of the data stream, but after the defect correc- tion it must be converted to a three-colors-per-pixel stream appropriate for standard color processing. The conversion is done by an edge-sensitive color interpolation module. The module pads the incomplete color information available for each pixel with information extracted from an appropriate set of neighboring pixels. The algorithm used to select this set and extract the information seeks the best compromise between preserving edges and filtering out high frequency noise in flat field areas. The edge threshold can be set through register settings.

MT9V126: 1/4-Inch Color CMOS NTSC/PAL Digital Image Sensor Sensor Pixel Array Color Correction and Aperture Correction To achieve good color fidelity of the IFP output, interpolated RGB values of all pixels are subjected to color correction. The IFP multiplies each vector of three pixel colors by a 3 x 3 color correction matrix. The three components of the resulting color vector are all sums of three 10-bit numbers. Since such sums can have up to 12 significant bits, the bit width of the image data stream is widened to 12 bits per color (36 bits per pixel). The color correction matrix can be either programmed by the user or automatically selected by the auto white balance (AWB) algorithm implemented in the IFP . Color correction should ideally produce output colors that are corrected for the spectral sensitivity and color crosstalk characteristics of the image sensor. The optimal values of the color correction matrix elements depend on those sensor characteristics and on the spectrum of light incident on the sensor. The color correction variables can be adjusted through register settings. To increase image sharpness, a programmable 2D aperture correction (sharpening filter) is applied to color-corrected image data. The gain and threshold for 2D correction can be defined through register settings.

Gamma Correction The MT9V126 IFP includes a block for gamma correction that can adjust its shape based on brightness to enhance the performance under certain lighting conditions. Two custom gamma correction tables may be uploaded corresponding to a brighter lighting condition and a darker lighting condition. At power-up, the IFP loads the two tables with default values. The final gamma correction table used depends on the brightness of the scene and takes the form of an interpolated version of the two tables. The gamma correction curve (as shown in Figure 13) is implemented as a piecewise linear function with 19 knee points, taking 12-bit arguments and mapping them to 8-bit output. The abscissas of the knee points are fixed at 0, 64, 128, 256, 512, 768, 1024, 1280, 1536, 1792, 2048, 2304, 2560, 2816, 3072, 3328, 3584, 3840, and 4096. The 8-bit ordinates are programmable through IFP registers. Figure 13: Gamma Correction Curve RGB to YUV Conversion For further processing, the data is converted from RGB color space to YUV color space. Color Kill To remove high-or low-light color artifacts, a color kill circuit is included. It affects only pixels whose luminance exceeds a certain preprogrammed threshold. The U and V values of those pixels are attenuated proportionally to the difference between their lumi- nance and the threshold. YUV Color Filter As an optional processing step, noise suppression by one-dimensional low-pass filtering of Y and/or UV signals is possible. A 3- or 5-tap filter can be selected for each signal.

MT9V126: 1/4-Inch Color CMOS NTSC/PAL Digital Image Sensor Sensor Pixel Array YUV-to-RGB/YUV Conversion and Output Formatting The YUV data stream emerging from the scaling module can either exit the color pipe- line as-is or be converted before exit to an alternative YUV or RGB data format. Output Format and Timing YUV/RGB Data Ordering The MT9V126 supports swapping YCbCr mode, as illustrated in Table 11. The RGB output data ordering in default mode is shown in Table 12. The odd and even bytes are swapped when luma/chroma swap is enabled. R and B channels are bit-wise swapped when chroma swap is enabled. Uncompressed 10-Bit Bypass Output Raw 10-bit Bayer data from the sensor core can be output in bypass mode in two ways: Using 8 data output signals (D OUT[7:0]) and GPIO[1:0]. The GPIO signals are the least significant 2 bits of data. Using only 8 signals (D OUT[7:0]) and a special 8 + 2 data format, shown in Table 13. Readout Formats Progressive format is used for raw Bayer output.

Output Formats ITU-R BT.656 and RGB Output The MT9V126 can output processed video as a standard ITU-R BT.656 (CCIR656) stream, an RGB stream, or as unprocessed Bayer data. The ITU-R BT .656 stream contains YCbCr 4:2:2 data with fixed embedded synchronization codes. This output is typically suitable for subsequent display by standard video equipment or JPEG/MPEG compression. Colorpipe data (pre-lens correction and overlay) can also be output in YCbCr 4:2:2 and a variety of RGB formats in 640 by 480 progressive format in conjunction with LINE_VALID and FRAME_VALID. The MT9V126 can be configured to output 16-bit RGB (565RGB), 15-bit RGB (555RGB), and two types of 12-bit RGB (444RGB). Refer to Table 31 and Table 32 on page 66 for details. Bayer Output Unprocessed Bayer data are generated when bypassing the IFP completely—that is, by simply outputting the sensor Bayer stream as usual, using FRAME_VALID, LINE_VALID, and PIXCLK to time the data. This mode is called sensor stand-alone mode. Output Ports Composite Video Output The composite video output DAC is external-resistor-programmable and supports both single-ended and differential output. The DAC is driven by the on-chip video encoder output. Parallel Output Parallel output uses either 8-bit or 10-bit output. Eight-bit output is used for ITU-R BT .656 and RGB output. Ten-bit output is used for raw Bayer output.

Auto-Configuration The device supports an auto-configuration feature. During system start-up, the device first detects whether an SPI Flash device is attached to the MT9V126. If not, it will then sample the state of a number of GPI inputs including FRAME_VALID, LINE_VALID and DOUT_LSB0. For more information, see Table 16, “GPIO Bit Descriptions,” on page 37. The state of these inputs then determines the configuration of a number of subsystems of the device such as readout mode, pedestal and video format, respectively. The auto-configuration feature can be disabled by grounding the SPI_DIN pin. The device samples the state of this pin during the Flash device detection process. If no SPI Flash device is detected (read device ID of 0x00 or 0xFF), OR the SPI_DIN pin is grounded, then auto-configuration is disabled. Flash Configuration Mode If a valid Flash is detected (by reading device ID other than 0x00 or 0xFF) and the flash device contains valid configuration records, then these configuration records are processed. Host Configuration This mode is entered if the SPI_DIN pin is grounded. The SOC performs no configura- tion, and remains idle waiting for configuration and instruction from the host.

MT9V126: 1/4-Inch Color CMOS NTSC/PAL Digital Image Sensor External Signal Processing Host Command Interface ON Semiconductor’ s sensors and SOCs contain numerous registers that are accessed through a two-wire interface with speeds up to 400 kHz. The MT9V126, in addition to writing or reading straight to/from registers or firmware variables, has a mechanism to write higher level commands, the Host Command Inter- face (HCI). Once a command has been written through the HCI, it will be executed by on chip firmware and the results are reported back. In general, registers shall not be accessed with the exception of registers that are marked for “User Access.” Flash memory is also available to store commands for later execution. Under DMA control, a command is written into the SOC and executed. For a complete spec on host commands, refer to the MT9V126 Host Command Interface Specification.

Host Command Process Flow Command Flow The host issues a command by writing (through a two-wire interface bus) to the command register. All commands are encoded with bit 15 set, which automatically generates the host command (doorbell) interrupt to the microprocessor. Assuming initial conditions, the host first writes the command parameters (if any) to the parameters pool (in the command handler's logical page), then writes the command to command register. The interrupt handler then signals the command handler task to process the command. If the host wishes to determine the outcome of the command, it must poll the command register waiting for the doorbell bit to be cleared. This indicates that the firmware completed processing the command. The contents of the command register indicate the command's result status. If the command generated response parameters, the host can now retrieve these from the parameters pool. Re ad Co m m and reg ister Doo rb e ll bi t c l ear ? No Co m m and h a s p a ra mete rs ?

MT9V126: 1/4-Inch Color CMOS NTSC/PAL Digital Image Sensor External Signal Processing Note: The host must not write to the parameters pool, nor issue another command, until the previous command completes. This is true even if the host does not care about the result of the previous command. Therefore, the host must always poll the command register to determine the state of the doorbell bit, and ensure the bit is cleared before issuing a command. For a complete command list and further information consult the Host Command Inter- face Specification. An example of how (using DevWare) a command may be initiated in the form of a “Preset” follows. Set Parallel Mode - Normal (Overlay i656) All DevWare presets supplied by ON Semiconductor poll and test the doorbell bit after issuing the command. Therefore there is no need to check if the doorbell bit is clear before issuing the next command.

MT9V126: 1/4-Inch Color CMOS NTSC/PAL Digital Image Sensor Slave Two-Wire Serial Interface Slave Two-Wire Serial Interface The two-wire serial interface bus enables read/write access to control and status regis- ters within the MT9V126. This interface is designed to be compatible with the MIPI Alli- ance Standard for Camera Serial Interface 2 (CSI-2) 1.0, which uses the electrical characteristics and transfer protocols of the two-wire serial interface specification. The interface protocol uses a master/slave model in which a master controls one or more slave devices. The sensor acts as a slave device. The master generates a clock (SCLK) that is an input to the sensor and used to synchronize transfers. Data is transferred between the master and the slave on a bidirectional signal (SDATA). SDATA is pulled up to VDD_IO off-chip by a pull-up resistor in the range of 1.5 to 4.7k resistor. Protocol Data transfers on the two-wire serial interface bus are performed by a sequence of low- level protocol elements, as follows: a start or restart condition a slave address/data direction byte a 16-bit register address an acknowledge or a no-acknowledge bit d a t a b y t e s a stop condition The bus is idle when both SCLK and S DATA are HIGH. Control of the bus is initiated with a start condition, and the bus is released with a stop condition. Only the master can gen- erate the start and stop conditions. The SADDR pin is used to select between two different addresses in case of conflict with another device. If SADDR is LOW, the slave address is 0x90; if SADDR is HIGH, the slave address is 0xBA. See Table 24 below. Start Condition A start condition is defined as a HIGH-to-LOW transition on SDATA while SCLK is HIGH. At the end of a transfer, the master can generate a start condition without previously generating a stop condition; this is known as a “repeated start” or “restart” condition. Data Transfer Data is transferred serially, 8 bits at a time, with the MSB transmitted first. Each byte of data is followed by an acknowledge bit or a no-acknowledge bit. This data transfer mechanism is used for the slave address/data direction byte and for message bytes. One data bit is transferred during each SCLK clock period. SDATA can change when SCLK is low and must be stable while SCLK is HIGH. Table 24: Two-Wire Interface ID Address Switching SADDR Two-Wire Interface Address ID 00 x 9 0 10 x B A
MT9V126: 1/4-Inch Color CMOS NTSC/PAL Digital Image Sensor Slave Two-Wire Serial Interface MT9V126_DS Rev. J Pub. 5/15 EN 45 ©Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC,2015. Slave Address/Data Direction Byte Bits [7:1] of this byte represent the device slave address and bit [0] indicates the data transfer direction. A “0” in bit [0] indicates a write, and a “1” indicates a read. The default slave addresses used by the MT9V126 are 0x90 (write address) and 0x91 (read address). Alternate slave addresses of 0xBA (write address) and 0xBB (read address) can be selected by asserting the SADDR input signal. Message Byte Message bytes are used for sending register addresses and register write data to the slave device and for retrieving register read data. The protocol used is outside the scope of the two-wire serial interface specification. Acknowledge Bit Each 8-bit data transfer is followed by an acknowledge bit or a no-acknowledge bit in the SCLK clock period following the data transfer. The transmitter (which is the master when writing, or the slave when reading) releases S DATA. The receiver indicates an acknowl- edge bit by driving SDATA LOW . As for data transfers, SDATA can change when SCLK is LOW and must be stable while SCLK is HIGH. No-Acknowledge Bit The no-acknowledge bit is generated when the receiver does not drive SDATA low during the SCLK clock period following a data transfer. A no-acknowledge bit is used to termi- nate a read sequence. Stop Condition A stop condition is defined as a LOW-to-HIGH transition on SDATA while SCLK is HIGH.

Instead of generating a no-acknowledge bit after the first byte of data has been transferred, the master generates an acknowledge bit and continues to perform byte writes until “L” bytes have been written. The WRITE is terminated by the master generating a stop condition.

MT9V126: 1/4-Inch Color CMOS NTSC/PAL Digital Image Sensor Integrated Lens Distortion Correction MT9V126_DS Rev. J Pub. 5/15 EN 49 ©Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC,2015. Integrated Lens Distortion Correction Integrated lens distortion correction eliminates the need for an expensive DSP for image correction. Using software tools, a flexible algorithm can be calibrated for many wide-angle lenses. Lens Distortion Definition Automotive backup cameras typically feature a wide FOV lens so that a single camera- mounted above the center of the rear bumper can present the driver with a view of all potential obstacles immediately behind the full width of the vehicle. Lenses with a wide field of view typically exhibit at least a noticeable amount of barrel distortion. Barrel distortion is caused by a reduction in object magnification the further away from the optical axis. A barrel distortion percentage can be measured as the amount a refer- ence line is bent as a percentage of the image height. For example, the lens used to capture the image below demonstrates a barrel distortion of approximately 21 percent. The distortion of this lens is near the maximum amount of distortion that must be corrected by the MT9V126. Figure 30: Barrel Distortion Definition For the image to appear natural to the driver, the MT9V126 corrects this barrel distortion and reprocesses the image so that the resulting distortion is less than one percent.

MT9V126: 1/4-Inch Color CMOS NTSC/PAL Digital Image Sensor Overlay Adjustment MT9V126_DS Rev. J Pub. 5/15 EN 55 ©Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC,2015. Overlay Adjustment To ensure a correct position of the overlay to compensate for assembly deviation, the overlay can be adjusted with assistance from the overlay statistics engine: The overlay statistics engine supports a windowed 8-bin luma histogram, either row- wise (vertical) or column-wise (horizontal). The example calibration statistics firmware patch can be used to perform an auto- matic successive-approximation search of a cross-hair target within the scene. On the first frame, the firmware performs a coarse horizontal search, followed by a coarse vertical search in the second frame. In subsequent frames, the firmware reduces th e region-of-interest of the search to the histogram bins containing the greatest accumulator values, thereby refining the search. The resultant X, Y location of the cross-hair target can be used to assign a calibration value of offset selected overlay graphic image positions within the output image. The calibration statistics patch also suppo rts a manual mode, which allows the host to access the raw accumulator values directly. Note: For the overlay calibration feature to work, load the appropriate patch. See Statistics Engine document.

MT9V126: 1/4-Inch Color CMOS NTSC/PAL Digital Image Sensor Overlay Adjustment Figure 35: Overlay Calibration The position of the target will be used to determine the calibration value that shifts the X,Y position of adjustable overlay graphics. Unlike the lens distortion correction and perspective correction, the overlay calibration is intended to be applied on a device by device basis “in system,” which means after the camera has been installed. ON Semiconductor provides basic programming scripts that may reside in the SPI Flash memory to assist in this effort.

Reset and Clocks Reset Power-up reset is asserted or de-asserted with the RESET_BAR pin, which is active LOW . In the reset state, all control registers are set to default values. See “Device Configura- tion” on page 34 for more details on Auto, Host, and Flash configurations. Soft reset is asserted or de-asserted by the two-wire serial interface program. In soft- reset mode, the two-wire serial interface and the register bus are still running. All control registers are reset using default values. Clocks The MT9V126 has three primary clocks: A master clock coming from the EXTCLK signal. In default mode, a pixel clock (PIXCLK) ru nning at 2 * EXTCLK. In raw Bayer bypass mode, PIXCLK runs at the same frequency as EXTCLK. IN_CLK that is associated with the parallel DIN port. When the MT9V126 operates in sensor stand-alone mode, the image flow pipeline clocks can be shut off to conserve power. The sensor core is a master in the system. The sensor core frame rate defines the overall image flow pipeline frame rate. Horizontal blanking and vertical blanking are influenced by the sensor configuration, and are also a function of certain image flow pipeline func- tions. The relationship of the primary clocks is depicted in Figure 45. The image flow pipeline typically generates up to 16 bits per pixel—for example, YCbCr or 565RGB—but has only an 8-bit port through which to communicate this pixel data. To generate NTSC or PAL format images, the sensor core requires a 27 MHz clock.

I/O Timing Digital Output By default, the MT9V126 launches pixel data, FV , and LV synchronously with the falling edge of PIXCLK. The expectation is that the user captures data, FV , and LV using the rising edge of PIXCLK. The timing diagram is shown in Figure 49. As an option, the polarity of the PIXCLK can be inverted from the default by program- ming R0x0016[14].

RESET_BAR may not exceed V DD_IO + 0.3V. 2. The 2.8V plane (V AA, VAA_PIX, VDD_PLL, VDD_DAC, VDD_IO) must remain at a higher voltage than the 1.8V core voltage at all times. Notes: 1. Xtal settling time is component-dependent (Xtal, Oscillator, etc) and usually takes about 10mS ~100mS. 2. Hard reset time is the minimum time required after power rails are settled. Ten clock cycles are required for the sensor itself, assuming all power rails are settled. In a circuit where Hard reset is performed by the RC circuit, then the RC time must include the all power rail settle time and Xtal 3. This is required to load necessa ry patches via Flash mode (SPI) or Host mode (two-wire serial inter- face). Loading time varies depending on the number of patches and bus speed.

A Fast-mode I 2C-bus device can be used in a Standard-mode I2C-bus system, but the requirement tSU;DAT 250 ns must then be met. This will automatically be the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the SCLK signal. If such a device does stretch the LOW period of the SCLK signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDATA line tr max + tSU;DAT = 1000 + 250 = 1250 ns (according to the Standard-mode I2C-bus specification) before the SCLK line is released. 7. Cb = total capacitance of one bus line in pF.
