General Description
The CSG14K_CSG8K is a high speed CMOS image sensor family developed for machine
vision and video applications. The image array consists of 3.2 μm pipelined global shutter
pixels, which allow exposure during read out, while performing true CDS (Correlated Double
Sampling) operation. The image sensor has 16 sub-LVDS data output channels. Each output
channel runs at up to 1.25 Gbit/s, resulting in a frame rate of 140 fps (CSG14K) or 231 fps
(CSG8K) in full resolution. Higher frame rates can be achieved in row-windowing mode or
row-subsampling mode. These modes are all programmable using the SPI interface. All
internal exposure and read out timings are generated by a programmable on-chip sequencer.
External triggering and exposure programming is also possible. Extended optical dynamic
range can be achieved by a dual exposure HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode. The image
sensor also integrates black level clamping.
