A 0.18 /spl mu/m high dynamic range NTSC/PAL imaging system-on-chip with embedded DRAM frame buffer

Abstract

The CMOS imaging system-on-chip includes an embedded frame buffer and operates at 100 MHz. The programmable chip produces color video at up to 500 frames/s with over 100 dB dynamic range using multi-capture. The sensor utilizes a 0.18 /spl mu/m 1 P 4 M CMOS process and dissipates 600 mW including I/O.
