Symbol Definition
twSYNC The minimum width of the EXSYNC pulse. When in SMART EXSYNC mode, the
minimum width is greater to allow for the photosites to be properly reset.
twSYNC_INT Te integration time when the “SMART EXSYNC” feature is available and turned on.
Note, the minimum time is necessary to guarantee proper operation.
t FRAME PERIOD The minimum frame time made up of tTransfer, tREADOUT plus tOVERHEAD
tTRANSFER The time from the reception of the falling edge of EXSYNC to the rising edge of
FVAL.
tREADOUT The time that frame valid is high
tOVERHEAD The number of pixels that must elapse after the falling edge of FVAL before the
EXSYNC falling edge can occur.
tLINE The line time
tFL Number strobes between FVAL rising and the first LVAL rising edge.
tLVAL_LOW Number strobes that LVAL is low during readout
tLF Number of strobes between last LVAL falling and FVAL falling edge.
