Figure 28. Example of Frame Transfer CCD Mode using V1–V8
The frame transfer CCD also requires additional timing control
when decimating the image for Preview Mode. The
AD9891/AD9895 contain registers to independently stop the
operation of the V5–V8 outputs while the V1–V4 outputs con-
tinue to run or to stop the V1–V4 outputs, while the V5–V8
outputs remain operational. The FREEZE and RESUME Regis-
ters specify the pixel locations within each line of a region where
the V1–V4 or V5–V8 clock outputs will start to hold their state,
and where they will resume normal operation. FREEZE and
RESUME can be used in any region during the frame readout.
Vertical Sensor Gate (Shift Gate) Timing
With an interline CCD, the vertical sensor gates (VSG) are used to
transfer the pixel charges from the light-sensitive image area into the
light-shielded vertical registers. When a mechanical shutter is not being
used, this transfer will effectively end the exposure period during the
image acquisition. From the light-shield vertical registers, the image
is then read out line-by-line by using the vertical transfer pulses
V1–V4 in conjunction with the high speed horizontal clocks.
