Clock Rate Control
CLKRC[7:5] – Sync output polarity selection
“00” - HSYNC=Neg, CHSYNC=Neg, VSYNC=Pos
“01” - HSYNC=Neg, CHSYNC=Neg, VSYNC=Neg
“10” - HSYNC=Pos, CHSYNC=Neg, VSYNC=Pos
“11” - HSYNC=Pos, CHSYNC=Pos, VSYNC=Pos
CLKRC[5:0] – Clock prescaler
CLK = (CLK_main / ((CLKRC[5:0] + 1) x 2)) / 2
Common Control A
COMA[7] - SRST, “1” initiates soft reset. Initiate soft reset. All registers are set to default val-
ues and chip is reset to known state and resumes normal operation. This bit is automatically
cleared after reset.
COMA[6] - MIRR, “1” selects mirror image
COMA[5] - VSFR, “1” enables AGC,
COMA[4] - Digital output format, “1” selects 8-bit: Y U Y V Y U Y V
COMA[3] - Select video data output: “1” - select RGB, “0” - select YCrCb
COMA[2] - Auto White Balance “1” - Enable AWB, “0” - Disable AWB
COMA[1] - Color Bar Test Pattern: “1” - Enable color bar test pattern
COMA[0] - reserved
Common Control B
COMB[7] - reserved
COMB[6] - reserved
COMB[5] - Select data format. “1” - Select 8-bit format, Y/CrCb and RGB is multiplexed to 8-bit
Y bus, UV bus is tri-stated, “0” - Select 16-bit format
COMB[4] - “1” - enable digital output in CCIR656 format
COMB[3] - CHSYNC output: “1” - Horizontal sync, “0” - composite sync
COMB[2] - “1” - Tristate Y and UV busses. “0” - enable both busses
COMB[1] - “1” - Initiate single frame transfer
COMB[0] - “1” - Enable auto adjust mode
Common Control C
COMC[7] - reserved
COMC[6] - reserved
COMC[5] - QCIF digital output format selection. 1 - 176x144; 0 - 352x288.
COMC[4] - Field/Frame vertical sync output in VSYNC port selection: 1 - frame sync, only
ODD field vertical sync; 0 - field vertical sync, effect in Interlaced mode
COMC[3] - HREF polarity selection: 0 - HREF positive effective, 1 - HREF negative.
COMC[2] - gamma selection: 1 - RGB Gamma on ; 0 - gamma is 1.
