Description
ON Semiconductor AR0130 is a 1/3−inch CMOS digital image sensor with an active−pixel array of 1280H x 960V. It captures images with a rolling−shutter readout. It includes sophisticated camera functions such as auto exposure control, windowing, and both video and single frame modes. It is programmable through a simple two−wire serial interface. The AR0130 produces extraordinarily clear, sharp digital pictures, and its ability to capture both continuous video and single frames makes it the perfect choice for a wide range of applications, including gaming systems, surveillance, and HD video.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ON Semiconductor AR0130 can be operated in its default mode or programmed for frame size, exposure, gain, and other parameters. The default mode output is a 960p−resolution image at 45 frames per second (fps). It outputs 12−bit raw data over the parallel port. The device may be operated in video (master) mode or in single frame trigger mode.
FRAME_VALID and LINE_VALID signals are output on dedicated pins, along with a synchronized pixel clock in parallel mode.
The AR0130 includes additional features to allow application−specific tuning: windowing and offset, adjustable auto−exposure control, and auto black level correction. Optional register information and histogram statistic information can be embedded in first and last 2 lines of the image frame.
