AR0230CS
1/2.7‐inch
2.1 Mp/Full HD Digital
Image Sensor
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ON Semiconductor’s AR0230CS is a 1/2.7−inch CMOS digital
image sensor with an active−pixel array of 1928Hx1088V. It captures
images in either linear or high dynamic range modes, with a
rolling−shutter readout. It includes sophisticated camera functions
such as in−pixel binning, windowing and both video and single frame
modes. It is designed for both low light and high dynamic range scene
performance. It is programmable through a simple two−wire serial
interface. The AR0230CS 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 surveillance and HD video.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ON Semiconductor AR0230CS can be operated in its
default mode or programmed for frame size, exposure, gain,
and other parameters. The default mode output is a
1080p−resolution image at 60 frames per second (fps)
through the HiSPi port. In linear mode, it outputs 12−bit or
10−bit A−Law compressed raw data, using either the parallel
or serial (HiSPi) output ports. In high dynamic range mode,
it outputs 12−bit compressed data using parallel output. In
HiSPi mode, 12− or 14−bit compressed, or 16−bit linearized
data may be output. The device may be operated in video
(master) mode or in single frame trigger mode.
FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
The AR0230CS is a progressive−scan sensor that
generates a stream of pixel data at a constant frame rate. It
uses an on−chip, phase−locked loop (PLL) that can be
optionally enabled to generate all internal clocks from a
single master input clock running between 6 and 48 MHz.
documentation, including information on evaluation kits,
please visit our web site at
www.onsemi.com.
FRAME_VALID and LINE_VALID signals are output on
dedicated pins, along with a synchronized pixel clock in
parallel mode.
The AR0230CS includes additional features to allow
application−specific tuning: windowing and offset, auto
black level correction, and on−board temperature sensor.
Optional register information and histogram statistic
information can be embedded in the first and last 2 lines of
the image frame.
The AR0230CS is designed to operate over a wide
temperature range of −30°C to +85°C ambient.
The maximum output pixel rate is 148.5 Mp/s,
corresponding to a clock rate of 74.25 MHz. Figure 1 shows
a block diagram of the sensor configured in linear mode, and
in HDR mode.

User interaction with the sensor is through the two−wire
serial bus, which communicates with the array control,
analog signal chain, and digital signal chain. The core of the
sensor is a 2.1 Mp Active− Pixel Sensor array. The timing
and control circuitry sequences through the rows of the
array, resetting and then reading each row in turn. In the time
interval between resetting a row and reading that row, the
pixels in the row integrate incident light. The exposure is
controlled by varying the time interval between reset and
readout. Once a row has been read, the data from the
columns is sequenced through an analog signal chain
(providing offset correction and gain), and then through an
analog−to−digital converter (ADC). The output from the
ADC is a 12−bit value for each pixel in the array. The ADC
output passes through a digital processing signal chain
(which provides further data path corrections and applies
digital gain). The sensor also offers a high dynamic range
mode of operation where multiple images are combined
on−chip to produce a single image at 16−bit per pixel value.
A compression mode is further offered to allow the 16 bits
per pixel to be transmitted to the host system as a 12−bit
value with close to zero loss in image quality.

NOTES:
1. All power supplies must be adequately decoupled
2. ON Semiconductor recommends a resistor value of 1.5kΩ, but a greater value may be used for
slower two−wired speed.
3. The parallel interface output pads can be left unconnected if the serial output interface is used.
4. ON Semiconductor recommends that 0.1
μF
and 10
μF
decoupling capacitors for each power
supply are mounted as close as possible to the pad. Actual values and results may vary
depending on lay out and design considerations. Refer to the AR0230CS demo headboard
schematics for circuit recommendations.
5. ON Semiconductor recommends that analog power planes are placed in a manner such that
coupling with the digital power planes is minimized.
6. I/O signals voltage must be configured to match V
DD
_IO voltage to minimize any leakage
currents.
