CXD3609R
Shutter data: [Electronic shutter]
The CXD3609R realizes various electronic shutter functions by using shutter data  D18  and  D19  SMD and
shutter data  D14  to  D23  SVR,  D24  to  D35  SHR,  D38  to  D47  SPL and TRIG data  D42  to  D47  SINT.
These functions are described in detail below.
First, the various modes are shown below. These modes are switched using control data  D13  and  D14  SMD.

[Electronic shutter stopped mode]
During this mode, all shutter data items are invalid.
SUB is not output in this mode, so the shutter speed is the accumulation time for one field.
[High-speed/low-speed shutter mode]
The electronic shutter data is expressed as shown in the table below using  D24  to  D35  SHR as an example.
However, MSB (D35) is a reserve bit for the future specification, and it is handled as a dummy on this IC.

 The bit data definition area is assured in terms of the CXD3609R functions, and does not assure the
CCD characteristics.
Description of SVR, SHR and SPL Operations
The period during which SVR and SHR are specified together is the shutter speed. An image of the exposure
time calculation formula is shown below. In actual operation, the precise exposure time is calculated from the
operating frequency, VR and HR periods, decoding value during the horizontal period, and other factors. Here,
SG means sensor gate, that is to say, ternary value of V2A/B/C and V3A/B/C.
