CYIS1SM0250-AA  
					Programmable Gain Amplifier  
					Image Readout  
					The signal from the column amplifiers is fed to an output  
					amplifier with four presettable gains (adjustable with pins G0  
					and G1). The offset correction of this amplifier is done through  
					a black reference procedure. The signal from the output  
					amplifier is externally available on the analog output  
					terminator of the device.  
					In an infinite uninterrupted loop, follow these steps line-by-line:  
					1. Synchronize the read (YL) and/or reset (YR) registers, in  
					this cases:  
					• SYNC_YL - to reinitiate the readout sequence to row  
					position Y1  
					• SYNC_YR - to reinitiate the reset pointer to row position  
					Y1  
					Analog-to-Digital Converter  
					For all other lines do not pulse one of these SYNC_Y signals.  
					The on-chip 10-bit ADC is electrically separated from the other  
					circuits of the device. The ADC conversion range is set by the  
					voltages on VLOW_ADC (pin 47) and VHIGH_ADC (pin 70).  
					Make voltages on these pins equal to about 2V on  
					VLOW_ADC and 4V on VHIGH_ADC. The voltages are set by  
					connecting VLOW with 1.2kΩ to GND and VHIGH_ADC with  
					560Ω to VDD. This way, a resistor ladder is created as shown  
					in Figure 9.  
					2. Operate the double sampling column amplifiers with two  
					RESETs. Apply one to reset the line that is currently  
					selected to produce the reset reference level for the double  
					sampling column amplifiers. Apply the other reset to  
					another line depending on the required integration time  
					reduction.  
					3. Perform a Line Readout:  
					Figure 9. ADC Resistor Ladder  
					Reset the X read address shift register to the value in its  
					shadow register (X1).  
					Perform a pixel readout operation, operating the track/hold  
					and the ADC.  
					RADC_VHIGH  
					Shift the X read address shift register one position further.  
					Shift the Y read and reset address shift registers one position  
					further. If either of Y read or reset address shift register comes  
					to the end of the pixel array (or the ROI), wrap it around to the  
					start position by pulsing SYNC_YL.

					Readout Timing  
					The actual line readout process starts with addressing the line  
					to read. This is done either by initializing the YL pointer with a  
					new value, or by shifting it one position beyond its previous  
					value. (Addressing the line has reset, YR is done in an  
					analogous fashion). During the "blanking time", after the new  
					line is addressed on the sensor, the built-in column-parallel  
					double sampling amplifiers are operated. This renders  
					offset-corrected values of the line under readout.  
					External  
					Pin 47: VLOW_ADC  
					RADC_VLOW  
					After the blanking time the pixels of the row addressed by YL  
					are read by multiplexing all the pixels one by one to the serial  
					output chain. The pixel is selected by the X pointer, and that  
					pointer is either initialized with a new value or an increment of  
					the previous position.  
					The internal ADC resistance varies according to temperature.  
					The resistance value increases approximately 4.4 Ω/°C with  
					increasing temperature. If the ADC range is set externally with  
					resistors, the conversion range may vary with temperature.  
					This effect is cancelled out by not making use of resistors but  
					directly applying voltages on VLOW_ADC and VHIGH_ADC.  
					The time between row resets and their corresponding row  
					readouts is the effective exposure time (or integration time).  
					This time is proportional to the number of lines (DelayLines)  
					between the line currently under reset and the line currently  
					under readout: DelayLines = (YR - YL+1). This time is also  
					equal to the delay between the SYNC_YR pulse and the  
					subsequent SYNC_YR.  
					Timing and Readout of the Image Sensor  
					Image Readout Procedure  
					The effective integration time tint is calculated as delaylines *  
					line time. The line time itself is a function of four terms: the time  
					to output the desired number of pixels in the line (Wframe), and  
					the overhead ("blanking") time that is needed to select an new  
					line and perform the double sampling and reset operations.  
					A preamble or initialization phase is irrelevant. The sensor is  
					read out continuously. The first frame is generally saturated  
					and useless because there is no preceding reset of each pixel.
