MT9V022: 1/3-Inch Wide-VGA Digital Image Sensor

in
Figure 25, respectively.
Digital gains of registers 0x80
0x98 apply to their corresponding tiles. The MT9V022
supports a digital gain of 0.25-3.75X.
The formula for digital gain setting is:
Digital Gain = Bits[3:0] x 0.25 (EQ 8)
Black Level Calibration
Black level calibration is controlled by:
•R0x4C
•R0x42
R0x46–R0x48
The MT9V022 has automatic black level calibration on-chip, and if enabled, its result
may be used in the offset correction shown in Figure 26.
Figure 26: Black Level Calibration Flow Chart
The automatic black level calibration measures the average value of pixels from 2 dark
rows (1 dark row if row bin 4 is enabled) of the chip. (The pixels are averaged as if they
were light-sensitive and passed through the appropriate gain.)
This row average is then digitally low-pass filtered over many frames (R0x47, bits 7:5) to
remove temporal noise and random instabilities associated with this measurement.
Then, the new filtered average is compared to a minimum acceptable level, low
threshold, and a maximum acceptable level, high threshold.
If the average is lower than the minimum acceptable level, the offset correction voltage
is increased by a programmable offset LSB in R0x4C. (Default step size is 2 LSB Offset = 1
ADC LSB at analog gain = 1X.)
If it is above the maximum level, the offset correction voltage is decreased by 2 LSB
(default).
To avoid oscillation of the black level from below to above, the region the thresholds
should be programmed so the difference is at least two times the offset DAC step size.
