GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ON Semiconductor AR0833 is a 1/3.2-inch BSI
(back side illuminated) CMOS active-pixel digital image
sensor with a pixel array of 3264 (H) x 2448 (V) (3280 (H)
x 2464 (V) including border pixels). It incorporates
sophisticated on-chip camera functions such as mirroring,
column and row skip modes, and context switching for zero
shutter lag snapshot mode. It is programmable through a
simple two-wire serial interface and has very low power
consumption.
The AR0833 digital image sensor features ON
Semiconductors breakthrough low-noise 1.4 μm pixel
CMOS imaging technology that achieves near-CCD image
quality (based on signal-to-noise ratio and low-light
sensitivity) while maintaining the inherent size, cost, and
integration advantages of CMOS.
The AR0833 sensor can generate full resolution image at
up to 30 frames per second (fps). An on-chip
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) generates a 10-bit value
for each pixel.

FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
In order to meet higher frame rates in AR0833 sensor, the
architecture has been re-designed. The analog core has a
column parallel architecture with 4 data paths. Digital block
has been re-architected to have 4 data paths.
The chip is targeted to meet SMIA 85 module size. As a
result, the final die size is 6.86 mm x 6.44 mm (singulated)
which would fit in the intended module with two-sided pad
frame.
Figure 1 shows the block diagram of the AR0833.

AR0833
The core of the sensor is an 8 Mp active-pixel 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 gain), and then through an ADC. The output from
the ADC is a 10-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 pixel array contains optically active and
light-shielded (“dark”) pixels. The dark pixels are used to
provide data for on-chip offset-correction algorithms
(“black level” control).
The sensor contains a set of control and status registers
that can be used to control many aspects of the sensor
behavior including the frame size, exposure, and gain
setting. These registers can be accessed through a two-wire
serial interface.
The output from the sensor is a Bayer pattern; alternate
rows are a sequence of either green and red pixels or blue and
green pixels. The offset and gain stages of the analog signal
chain provide per-color control of the pixel data.
A flash output signal is provided to allow an external
xenon or LED light source to synchronize with the sensor
exposure time. Additional I/O signals support the provision
of an external mechanical shutter.
Pixel Array
The sensor core uses a Bayer color pattern, as shown in
Figure 2. The even-numbered rows contain green and red
pixels; odd-numbered rows contain blue and green pixels.
Even-numbered columns contain red and green pixels;
odd-numbered columns contain blue and green pixels.

TYPICAL CONNECTIONS
The chip supports MIPI output protocol. MIPI can be
configured in 4-, 3- or 2-lanes. There are no parallel data
output ports.
Figure 3. Typical Application Circuit MIPI Connection
1. All power supplies should be adequately decoupled; recommended cap values are:
2.8 V: 1.0 mF, 0.1 mF, and then 0.01 mF
1.2 V: 1 mF and then 0.1 mF
1.8 V: 0.1 mF
2. Resistor value 1.5 kW is recommended, but may be greater for slower two-wire speed.
3. This pull-up resistor is not required if the controller drives a valid logic level on SCLK at all times.
4. VAA and VAA_PIX can be tied together. However, for noise immunity it is recommended to have them separate (i.e. two sets of 2.8 V
decoupling caps).
5. VPP
, 67 V, is used for programming OTPM. This pad is left unconnected if OTPM is not being programmed.
6. VDD_1V8 can be combined with VDD_IO, if VDD_IO = 1.8 V.
7. VDD_1V2 and VDD1_1V2_PHY can be tied together.
8. ATEST1 can be left floating.
9. TEST pin must be tied to DGND.
10.DVDD_1V8 is the OTPM read voltage (must always be provided).

SYSTEM STATES
The system states of the AR0833 are represented as a state
diagram in Figure 4 and described in subsequent sections.
The sensors operation is broken down into three separate
states: hardware standby, software standby, and streaming.
The transition between these states might take a certain
amount of clock cycles as outlined in Figure 4 and Figure 5.

SENSOR INITIALIZATION
Power-Up Sequence
AR0833 has three voltage supplies divided into several
domains. The three voltages are 1.2 V, 1.8 V, and 2.8 V. For
proper operation of the chip, a power-up sequence is
recommended as shown in Figure 5.
The power sequence is governed by controlled vs
controlling behavior of a power supply and the inrush
current (i.e., current that exists when not all power supplies
are present).
Table 6. INRUSH CONSIDERATION
XSHUTDOWN 1.2 V 1.8 V (VDD_IO) 2.8 V Comment
x Present Absent Absent Not Supported
x Absent Present Absent Supported
x Absent Absent Present Supported
x Present Present Absent Supported
x Present Absent Present Not Supported
x Absent Present Present Supported
0 Present Present Present Powered Down State
1 Present Present Present Powered Up State
Since VDD_IO supply controls the XSHUTDOWN, it
should be turned on first. The sequence of powering up the
other two domains is not too critical. While turning on 2.8 V
supply before 1.2 V supply shouldn’t be an issue as shown
in Table 1, it is still not recommended since the 2.8 V domain
is controlled by 1.2 V signals. The dedicated 1.8 V domain
is used only for OTPM read function, so can turn on along
with 1.8 V supply.
Due to the above considerations, the suggested power-on
sequence is as shown in Figure 5:

Hard Standby and Hard Reset
The hard standby state is reached by the assertion of the
XSHUTDOWN pad (hard reset). Register values are not
retained by this action, and will be returned to their default
values once hard reset is completed. The minimum power
consumption is achieved by the hard standby state. The
details of the sequence are described below and shown in
Figure 7.
1. Disable streaming if output is active by setting
mode_select 0x301A[2] = 0.
2. The soft standby state is reached after the current
row or frame, depending on configuration, has
ended.
3. Assert XSHUTDOWN (active LOW) to reset the
sensor.
4. The sensor remains in hard standby state if
XSHUTDOWN remains in the logic “0” state.

TWO-WIRE SERIAL REGISTER INTERFACE
A two-wire serial interface bus enables read/write access
to control and status registers within the AR0833. The
two-wire serial interface is fully compatible with the I2C
standard.
The interface protocol uses a master/slave model in which
a master controls one or more slave devices. The sensor acts
as a slave device. The master generates a clock (SCLK) that
is an input to the sensor and is used to synchronize transfers.
Data is transferred between the master and the slave on a
bidirectional signal (SDATA). SDATA is pulled up to VDD
off-chip by a 1.5 kΩ resistor. Either the slave or master
device can drive SDATA LOW-the interface protocol
determines which device is allowed to drive SDATA at any
given time.
The protocols described in the two-wire serial interface
specification allow the slave device to drive SCLK LOW; the
AR0833 uses SCLK as an input only and therefore never
drives it LOW. The electrical and timing specifications are
further detailed on “Two-Wire Serial Register Interface”.
Protocol
Data transfers on the two-wire serial interface bus are
performed by a sequence of low-level protocol elements:
1. a (repeated) start condition
2. a slave address/data direction byte
3. an (a no) acknowledge bit
4. a message byte
5. a stop condition
The bus is idle when both SCLK and SDATA are HIGH.
Control of the bus is initiated with a start condition, and the
bus is released with a stop condition. Only the master can
generate the start and stop conditions.
Start Condition
A start condition is defined as a HIGH-to-LOW transition
on SDATA while SCLK is HIGH. At the end of a transfer, the
master can generate a start condition without previously
generating a stop condition; this is known as a “repeated
start” or “restart” condition.
Stop Condition
A stop condition is defined as a LOW-to-HIGH transition
on SDATA while SCLK is HIGH.
Data Transfer
Data is transferred serially, 8 bits at a time, with the MSB
transmitted first. Each byte of data is followed by an
acknowledge bit or a no-acknowledge bit. This data transfer
mechanism is used for the slave address/data direction byte
and for message bytes.
One data bit is transferred during each SCLK clock period.
SDATA can change when SCLK is LOW and must be stable
while SCLK is HIGH.
Slave Address/Data Direction Byte
Bits [7:1] of this byte represent the device slave address
and bit [0] indicates the data transfer direction. A “0” in bit
[0] indicates a WRITE, and a “1” indicates a READ. The
default slave addresses used by the AR0833 for the MIPI
configured sensor are 0x6C (write address) and 0x6D (read
address) in accordance with the MIPI specification.
Alternate slave addresses of 0x6E(write address) and
0x6F(read address) can be selected by enabling and
asserting the SADDR signal through the GPI pad.
The alternate slave addresses can also be programmed
through R0x31FC.
Message Byte
Message bytes are used for sending register addresses and
register write data to the slave device and for retrieving
register read data.
Acknowledge Bit
Each 8-bit data transfer is followed by an acknowledge bit
or a no-acknowledge bit in the SCLK clock period following
the data transfer. The transmitter (which is the master when
writing, or the slave when reading) releases SDATA. The
receiver indicates an acknowledge bit by driving SDATA
LOW.
No-Acknowledge Bit
The no-acknowledge bit is generated when the receiver
does not drive SDATA LOW during the SCLK clock period
following a data transfer. A no-acknowledge bit is used to
terminate a read sequence.
Typical Sequence
A typical READ or WRITE sequence begins by the
master generating a start condition on the bus. After the start
condition, the master sends the 8-bit slave address/data
direction byte. The last bit indicates whether the request is
for a read or a write, where a “0” indicates a write and a “1”
indicates a read. If the address matches the address of the
slave device, the slave device acknowledges receipt of the
address by generating an acknowledge bit on the bus.
If the request was a WRITE, the master then transfers the
16-bit register address to which the WRITE should take
place. This transfer takes place as two 8-bit sequences and
the slave sends an acknowledge bit after each sequence to
indicate that the byte has been received. The master then
transfers the data as an 8-bit sequence; the slave sends an
acknowledge bit at the end of the sequence. The master stops
writing by generating a (re)start or stop condition.
If the request was a READ, the master sends the 8-bit write
slave address/data direction byte and 16-bit register address,
the same way as with a WRITE request. The master then
generates a (re)start condition and the 8-bit read slave
address/data direction byte, and clocks out the register data,
eight bits at a time. The master generates an acknowledge bit
after each 8-bit transfer. The slave’s internal register address
is automatically incremented after every 8 bits are
transferred. The data transfer is stopped when the master
sends a no-acknowledge bit.

Single READ from Random Location
This sequence (Figure 9) starts with a dummy WRITE to
the 16-bit address that is to be used for the READ. The
master terminates the WRITE by generating a restart
condition. The master then sends the 8-bit read slave
address/data direction byte and clocks out one byte of
register data. The master terminates the READ by
generating a no-acknowledge bit followed by a stop
condition. Figure 9 shows how the internal register address
maintained by the AR0833 is loaded and incremented as the
sequence proceeds.

REGISTERS
The AR0833 provides a 16-bit register address space
accessed through a serial interface (“Two-Wire Serial
Register Interface”). Each register location is 8 or 16 bits in
size.
The address space is divided into the five major regions
shown in Table 9. The remainder of this section describes
these registers in detail.
Table 9. ADDRESS SPACE REGIONS
Address Range Description
0x0000–0x0FFF Configuration registers (read-only and read-write dynamic registers)
0x1000–0x1FFF Parameter limit registers (read-only static registers)
0x2000–0x2FFF Image statistics registers (none currently defined)
0x3000–0x3FFF Manufacturer-specific registers (read-only and read-write dynamic registers)
Register Notation
The underlying mechanism for reading and writing
registers provides byte write capability. However, it is
convenient to consider some registers as multiple adjacent
bytes. The AR0833 uses 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit registers,
all implemented as 1 or more bytes at naturally aligned,
contiguous locations in the address space.
In this document, registers are described either by address
or by name. When registers are described by address, the
size of the registers is explicit. For example, R0x3024 is a
2-bit register at address 0x3024, and R0x30001 is a 16-bit
register at address 0x3000–0x3001. When registers are
described by name, the size of the register is implicit. It is
necessary to refer to the register table to determine that
model_id is a 16-bit register.
Register Aliases
A consequence of the internal architecture of the AR0833
is that some registers are decoded at multiple addresses.
Some registers in “configuration space” are also decoded in
“manufacturer-specific space.” To provide unique names
for all registers, the name of the register within
manufacturer-specific register space has a trailing
underscore. For example, R0x0202 is
coarse_integration_time and R0x3012 is
coarse_integration_time_. The effect of reading or writing
a register through any of its aliases is identical.
Bit Fields
Some registers provide control of several different pieces
of related functionality, and this makes it necessary to refer
to bit fields within registers. As an example of the notation
used for this, the least significant 4 bits of the
chip_version_reg register are referred to as
chip_version_reg[3:0] or R0x00001[3:0].
Bit Field Aliases
In addition to the register aliases described above, some
register fields are aliased in multiple places. For example,
R0x0100 (mode_select) has only one operational bit,
R0x0100[0]. This bit is aliased to R0x301A–B[2]. The
effect of reading or writing a bit field through any of its
aliases is identical.
Byte Ordering
Registers that occupy more than one byte of address space
are shown with the lowest address in the highestorder byte
lane to match the byte-ordering on the data bus. For
example, the chip_version_reg register is R0x00001. In the
register table the default value is shown as 0x4B00. This
means that a read from address 0x0000 would return 0x4B,
and a read from address 0x0001 would return 0x00. When
reading this register as two 8-bit transfers on the serial
interface, the 0x4B will appear on the serial interface first,
followed by the 0x00.
Address Alignment
All register addresses are aligned naturally. Registers that
occupy 2 bytes of address space are aligned to even 16-bit
addresses, and registers that occupy 4 bytes of address space
are aligned to 16-bit addresses that are an integer multiple of
4.
Bit Representation
For clarity, 32-bit hex numbers are shown with an
underscore between the upper and lower 16 bits. For
example: 0x3000_01AB.
Data Format
Most registers represent an unsigned binary value or set of
bit fields. For all other register formats, the format is stated
explicitly at the start of the register description. The notation
for these formats is shown in Table 10.

Register Behavior
Registers vary from “read-only,” “read/write,” and “read,
write-1-to-clear.”
Double-Buffered Registers
Some sensor settings cannot be changed during frame
readout. For example, changing R0x3004–5 (x_addr_start)
partway through frame readout would result in inconsistent
row lengths within a frame. To avoid this, the AR0833
double-buffers many registers by implementing a “pending”
and a “live” version. Reads and writes access the pending
register. The live register controls the sensor operation.
The value in the pending register is transferred to a live
register at a fixed point in the frame timing, called frame
start. Frame start is defined as the point at which the first
dark row is read out internally to the sensor. In the register
tables the “Frame Sync’d” column shows which registers or
register fields are double-buffered in this way.
Using grouped_parameter_hold
Register grouped_parameter_hold (R0x301A[15]) can be
used to inhibit transfers from the pending to the live
registers. When the AR0833 is in streaming mode, this
register should be written to “1” before making changes to
any group of registers where a set of changes is required to
take effect simultaneously. When this register is written to
“0,” all transfers from pending to live registers take place on
the next frame start.
An example of the consequences of failing to set this bit
follows:
An external auto exposure algorithm might want to
change both gain and integration time between two
frames. If the next frame starts between these
operations, it will have the new gain, but not the new
integration time, which would return a frame with the
wrong brightness that might lead to a feedback loop
with the AE algorithm resulting in flickering.
Bad Frames
A bad frame is a frame where all rows do not have the
same integration time or where offsets to the pixel values
have changed during the frame.
Many changes to the sensor register settings can cause a
bad frame. For example, when line_length_pck (R0x300C)
is changed, the new register value does not affect sensor
behavior until the next frame start. However, the frame that
would be read out at that frame start will have been
integrated using the old row width, so reading it out using the
new row width would result in a frame with an incorrect
integration time.
By default, bad frames are masked. If the masked bad
frame option is enabled, both LV and FV are inhibited for
these frames so that the vertical blanking time between
frames is extended by the frame time.
In the register tables, the “Bad Frame” column shows
where changing a register or register field will cause a bad
frame. This notation is used:
N No. Changing the register value will not produce a
bad frame.
Y Yes. Changing the register value might produce a
bad frame.
YM Yes; but the bad frame will be masked out when
mask_corrupted_frames (R0x301A[9]) is set to “1.”
Changes to Integration Time
If the integration time is changed while FV is asserted for
frame n, the first frame output using the new integration time
is frame (n + 2). The sequence is as follows:
1. During frame n, the new integration time is held in
the pending register.
2. At the start of frame (n + 1), the new integration
time is transferred to the live register. Integration
for each row of frame (n + 1) has been completed
using the old integration time.
3. The earliest time that a row can start integrating
using the new integration time is immediately after
that row has been read for frame (n + 1). The
actual time that rows start integrating using the
new integration time is dependent upon the new
value of the integration time.
4. When frame (n + 2) is read out, it will have been
integrated using the new integration time.
If the integration time is changed on successive frames,
each value written will be applied for a single frame; the
latency between writing a value and it affecting the frame
readout remains at two frames.

Changes to Gain Settings
Usually, when the gain settings are changed, the gain is
updated on the next frame start. When the integration time
and the gain are changed at the same time, the gain update
is held off by one frame so that the first frame output with the
new integration time also has the new gain applied. In this
case, a new gain should not be set during the extra frame
delay. There is an option to turn off the extra frame delay by
setting extra_delay (R0x3018).
CLOCKING
Default setup gives a physical 73.2 MHz internal clock for
an external input clock of 24 MHz.
The sensor contains a phase-locked loop (PLL) for timing
generation and control. The PLL contains a prescaler to
divide the input clock applied on EXTCLK, a VCO to
multiply the prescaler output, and a set of dividers to
generate the output clocks. The PLL structure is shown in
Figure 15.

Figure 15 shows the different clocks and the names of the
registers that contain or are used to control their values. The
vt_pix_clk is divided by two to compensate for the fact that
the design has 2 digital data paths. This divider should
always remain turned on.
AR0833 has 10-to-8 and 10-to-6 compression. The
Framer IP packs two 6-bit pixels into one 12-bit data and
sends it to Physical Layer. The Framer takes the action to
divide word clock into half speed. The word clock should be
divided by 6 from VCO at PLL in order to match Physical
Layer considering one data having 12 bit-clocks.
The usage of the output clocks is shown below:
clk_pixel (vt_pix_clk / row_speed[2:0]) is used by the
sensor core to readout and control the timing of the
pixel array. The sensor core produces one 10-bit pixel
each vt_pix_clk period. The line length
(line_length_pck) is controlled in increments of the
clk_pixel period.
clk_op (op_pix_clk / row_speed[10:8]) is used to load
parallel pixel data from the output FIFO (see Figure 40)
to the serializer. The output FIFO generates one pixel
each op_pix_clk period.
op_sys_clk is used to generate the serial data stream on
the output. The relationship between this clock
frequency and the op_pix_clk frequency is dependent
upon the output data format.
The pixel frequency can be calculated in general as:
pixel_clock_mhz +
ext_clk_freq_mhz pll_multiplier
pre_pll_clk_div vt_sys_clk_div 2 vt_pix_clk_div row_speed[2:0] (eq. 1)

PLL Clocking
The PLL divisors should be programmed while the
AR0833 is in the software standby state. After programming
the divisors, it is necessary to wait for the VCO lock time
before enabling the PLL. The PLL is enabled by entering the
streaming state.
An external timer will need to delay the entrance of the
streaming mode by 1 millisecond so that the PLL can lock.
The effect of programming the PLL divisors while the
AR0833 is in the streaming state is undefined.
Clock Control
The AR0833 uses an aggressive clock-gating
methodology to reduce power consumption. The clocked
logic is divided into a number of separate domains, each of
which is only clocked when required.
When the AR0833 enters a soft standby state, almost all
of the internal clocks are stopped. The only exception is that
a small amount of logic is clocked so that the two-wire serial
interface continues to respond to read and write requests.
FEATURES
Interlaced HDR Readout
The sensor enables HDR by outputting frames where even
and odd row pairs within a single frame are captured at
different integration times. This output is then matched with
an algorithm designed to reconstruct this output into an
HDR still image or video.
The sensor HDR is controlled by two shutter pointers
(Shutter pointer1, Shutter pointer2) that control the
integration of the odd (Shutter pointer1) and even (Shutter
pointer 2) row pairs.

INTEGRATION TIME FOR INTERLACED HDR READOUT
Tint1 (Integration Time 1) and Tint2 (Integration Time 2)
The limits for the coarse integration time are defined by:
coarse_integration_time_min vcoarse_integration_time v(frame_length_lines *coarse_integration_time_max_margin) (eq. 4)
coarse_integration_time2_min vcoarse_integration_time2 v(frame_length_lines *coarse_integration_time2_max_margin) (eq. 5)
The actual integration time is given by:
integration_time +
coarse_integration_time line_length_pck
vt_pix_clk_freq_mhz 106(eq. 6)
integration_time2 +
coarse_integration_time2 line_length_pck
vt_pix_clk_freq_mhz 106(eq. 7)
If this limit is broken, the frame time will automatically be
extended to (coarse_integration_time + coarse_
integration_time_max_margin) to accommodate the larger
integration time.
The ratio between even and odd rows is typically adjusted
to 1×, 2×, 4×, and 8×.
Bayer Resampler
The imaging artifacts found from a 2 ×2 binning or
summing will show image artifacts from aliasing. These can
be corrected by resampling the sampled pixels in order to
filter these artifacts. Figure 17 shows the pixel location
resulting from 2 ×2 summing or binning located in the
middle and the resulting pixel locations after the Bayer
re-sampling function has been applied.
Figure 17. Bayer Resampling
The improvements from using the Bayer resampling
feature can be seen in Figure 18. In this example, image
edges seen on a diagonal have smoother edges when the
Bayer re-sampling feature is applied. This feature is only
designed to be used with modes configured with 2 ×2
binning or summing. The feature will not remove aliasing
artifacts that are caused skipping pixels.

To enable the Bayer resampling feature:
1. Set R0x400 = 2 // Enable the on-chip scalar.
2. Set R0x306E to 0x90B0 // Configure the on-chip
scalar to resample Bayer data.
To disable the Bayer resampling feature:
1. Set R0x400 = 0 // Disable the on-chip scalar.
2. Set R0x306E to 0x9080 // Configure the on-chip

One-Time Programmable Memory (OTPM)
The AR0833 features 5.6 Kb of one-time programmable
memory (OTPM) for storing shading correction
coefficients, individual module, and customer-specific
information. The user may program the data before
shipping. OTPM can be accessed through two-wire serial
interface. The AR0833 uses the auto mode for fast OTPM
programming and read operations.
To read out the OTPM, 1.8 V supply is required. As a
result, a dedicated DVDD_1V8 pad has been
implemented.During the programming process, a dedicated
pin for high voltage needs to be provided to perform the
anti-fusing operation. This voltage (VPP) would need to be
6.5 V. The completion of the programming process will be
communicated by a register through the two-wire serial
interface.
If the VPP pin does not need to be bonded out as a pin on
the module, it should be left floating inside the module.
The programming of the OTPM requires the sensor to be
fully powered and remain in software standby with its clock
input applied. The information will be programmed through
the use of the two-wire serial interface, and once the data is
written to an internal register, the programming host
machine will apply a high voltage to the programming pin,
and send a program command to initiate the anti-fusing
process. After the sensor has finished programming the
OTPM, a status bit will be set to indicate the end of the
programming cycle, and the host machine can poll the
setting of the status bit through the two-wire serial interface.
Only one programming cycle for the 16-bit word can be
performed.
Reading the OTPM data requires the sensor to be fully
powered and operational with its clock input applied. The
data can be read through a register from the two-wire serial
interface.
Programming and Verifying the OTPM
The procedure for programming and verifying the
AR0833 OTPM follows:
1. Apply power to all the power rails of the sensor
(VDD_IO, VAA, VAA_PIX, DVDD_1V2,
DVDD_1V2_PHY, and DVDD_1V8). VAA must be
set to 2.8 V during the programming process. VPP
must be initially floating. All other supplies must
be at their nominal voltage.
2. Provide a 12-MHz EXTCLK clock input.
3. Set R0x301A = 0x18, to put sensor in the soft
standby mode.
4. Set R0x3130 = 0xFF01 (Timing configuration)
5. Set R0x304C[15:8] = Record type (E.g. 0x30)
6. Set R0x304C[7:0] = Length of the record which is
the number of OTPM data registers that are filled
in.
7. Set R0x3054[9] = 0 to ensure that the error
checking and correction is enabled.
8. Write data into all the OTPM data registers:
R0x3800-R0x39FE.
9. Ramp up VPP to 6.5 V.
10. Set the otpm_control_auto_wr_start bit in the
otpm_control register R0x304A[0] = 1, to initiate
the auto program sequence. The sensor will now
program the data into the OTPM.
11. Poll otpm_control_auto_wr_end (R0x304A [1]) to
determine when the sensor is finished
programming the word.
12. Verify that the otpm_control_auto_wr_
success(0x304A[2]) bit is set.
13. If the above bits are not set to 1, then examine
otpm_status register R0x304E[9] to verify if the
OTPM memory is full and 0x304E[10] to verify if
OTPM memory is insufficient.
14. Remove the high voltage (VPP) and float VPP pin.
Reading the OTPM
1. Apply power to all the power rails of the sensor
(VDD_IO, VAA, VAA_PIX, DVDD_1V2,
DVDD_1V2_PHY, and DVDD_1V8) at their
nominal voltage.
2. Set EXTCLK to normal operating frequency.
3. Perform proper reset sequence to the sensor.
4. Set R0x3134 = 0xCD95 (Timing Configuration)
AR0833
www.onsemi.com
20
5. Set R0x304C[15:8] = Record Type (for example,
0x30)
6. Set R0x304C[7:0] = Length of the record which is
the number of data registers to be read back. This
could be set to 0 during OTPM auto read if length
is unknown.
7. Set R0x3054 = 0x0400
8. Initiate the auto read sequence by setting the
otpm_control_auto_read_start bit (R0x304A[4]) =
1.
9. Poll the otpm_control_auto_rd_end bit
(R0x304A[5]) to determine when the sensor is
finished reading the word(s). When this bit
becomes 1, the otpm_control_auto_rd_success bit
(R0x304A[6]) will indicate whether the memory
was read successfully or not.
10. Data can now be read back from the otpm_data
registers (R0x3800-R0x39FE).
Image Acquisition Modes
The AR0833 supports two image acquisition modes:
1. Electronic rolling shutter (ERS) mode.
This is the normal mode of operation. When the
AR0833 is streaming, it generates frames at a
fixed rate, and each frame is integrated (exposed)
using the ERS. When the ERS is in use, timing
and control logic within the sensor sequences
through the rows of the array, resetting and then
reading each row in turn. In the time interval
between resetting a row and subsequently reading
that row, the pixels in the row integrate incident
light. The integration (exposure) time is controlled
by varying the time between row reset and row
readout. For each row in a frame, the time between
row reset and row readout is fixed, leading to a
uniform integration time across the frame. When
the integration time is changed (by using the
two-wire serial interface to change register
settings), the timing and control logic controls the
transition from old to new integration time in such
a way that the stream of output frames from the
AR0833 switches cleanly from the old integration
time to the new while only generating frames with
uniform integration. See “Changes to Integration
Time”.
2. Global reset release (GRR) mode.
his mode can be used to acquire a single image at
the current resolution. In this mode, the end point
of the pixel integration time is controlled by an
external electromechanical shutter, and the
AR0833 provides control signals to interface to
that shutter. The operation of this mode is
described in detail in “Global Reset Release
(GRR)”.
The benefit for the use of an external electromechanical
shutter is that it eliminates the visual artifacts associated
with ERS operation. Visual artifacts arise in ERS operation,
particularly at low frame rates, because an ERS image
effectively integrates each row of the pixel array at a
different point in time.
Window Control
The sequencing of the pixel array is controlled by the
x_addr_start, y_addr_start, x_addr_end, and y_addr_end
registers. The output image size is controlled by the
x_output_size and y_output_size registers.
Pixel Border
The default settings of the sensor provide a 3264
(H) x 2448 (V) image. A border of up to 8 pixels (4 in
binning) on each edge can be enabled by reprogramming the
x_addr_start, y_addr_start, x_addr_end, y_addr_end,
x_output_size, and y_output_size registers accordingly.
These border pixels can be used but are disabled by default.

register is set by default. The result of this is that the order
of pixel readout within a row is reversed, so that readout
starts from x_addr_end and ends at x_addr_start. Figure 20
shows a sequence of 6 pixels being read out with
horizontal_mirror = 0 and horizontal_mirror = 1. Changing
horizontal_mirror causes the Bayer order of the output
image to change; the new Bayer order is reflected in the
value of the pixel_order register.

Vertical Flip
When the vertical_flip bit is set in the image_orientation
register, the order in which pixel rows are read out is
reversed, so that row readout starts from y_addr_end and
ends at y_addr_start. Figure 21 shows a sequence of 6 rows
being read out with vertical_flip = 0 and vertical_flip = 1.
Changing vertical_flip causes the Bayer order of the output
image to change; the new Bayer order is reflected in the

Subsampling
The AR0833 supports subsampling to reduce the amount
of data processed by the signal chains in the AR0833,
thereby allowing the frame rate to be increased and power
consumption reduced. Subsampling is enabled by setting
x_odd_inc and/or y_odd_inc. Values of 1, 3, and 7 can be
supported. Setting both of these variables to 3 reduces the
amount of row and column data processed and is equivalent
to the 2 ×2 skipping readout mode provided by the AR0833.
Setting x_odd_inc = 3 and y_odd_inc = 3 results in a
quarter reduction in output image size. Figure 22 shows a
sequence of 8 columns being read out with x_odd_inc = 3
and y_odd_inc = 1.

Programming Restrictions when Subsampling
When subsampling is enabled and the sensor is switched
back and forth between full resolution and subsampling,
ON Semiconductor recommends that line_length_pck be
kept constant between the two modes. This allows the same
integration times to be used in each mode.
When subsampling is enabled, it may be necessary to
adjust the x_addr_start, x_addr_end, y_addr_start, and
y_addr_end settings: the values for these registers are
required to correspond with rows/columns that form part of
the subsampling sequence. The adjustment should be made
in accordance with these rules:
x_skip_factor = (x_odd_inc + 1) / 2
y_skip_factor = (y_odd_inc + 1) / 2
x_addr_start should be a multiple of x_skip_factor x 4
(x_addr_end x_addr_start + x_odd_inc) should be a
multiple of x_skip_factor x 4
(y_addr_end y_addr_start + y_odd_inc) should be a
multiple of y_skip_factor x 4
The number of columns/rows read out with subsampling
can be found from the equation below:
columns/rows = (addr_end addr_start + odd_inc) /
skip_factor
Table 11 shows the row or column address sequencing for
normal and subsampled readout. In the 2X skip case, there
are two possible subsampling sequences (because the
subsampling sequence only reads half of the pixels)
depending upon the alignment of the start address. Similarly,
there will be four possible subsampling sequences in the 4X
skip case (though only the first two are shown in Table 11).

Binning
The AR0833 supports 2 x 1 (column binning, also called
x-binning). Binning has many of the same characteristics as
skipping, but because it gathers image data from all pixels
in the active window (rather than a subset of them), it
achieves superior image quality and avoids the aliasing
artifacts that can be a characteristic side effect of skipping.
Binning is enabled by selecting the appropriate
subsampling settings (in read_mode, the sub-register
x_odd_inc = 3 and y_odd_inc = 1 for x-binning and setting
the appropriate binning bit in read_mode R0x3040[11] = 1
for x_bin_enable). As with skipping, x_addr_end and
y_addr_end may require adjustment when binning is
enabled. It is the first of the two columns/rows binned
together that should be the end column/row in binning, so
the requirements to the end address are exactly the same as
in skipping mode. The effect of the different binning is
shown in Figure 27 below and Figure 28.
Binning can also be enabled when the 4X subsampling
mode is enabled (x_odd_inc = 7 and y_odd_inc = 1 for
x-binning, x_odd_inc = 7 and y_odd_inc = 7 for 4X
xy-binning). In this mode, however, not all pixels will be
used so this is not a 4X binning implementation. An
implementation providing a combination of skip2 and bin2
is used to achieve 4X subsampling with better image quality.
The effect of this subsampling mode is shown in Figure 28.

Binning address sequencing is a bit more complicated
than during subsampling only, because of the
implementation of the binning itself.
For a given column n, there is only one other column,
n_bin, that can be binned with, because of physical
limitations in the column readout circuitry. The possible
address sequences are shown in Table 12.

There are no physical limitations on what can be binned
together in the row direction. A given row n will always be
binned with row n+2 in 2X subsampling mode and with row
n+4 in 4X subsampling mode. Therefore, which rows get
binned together depends upon the alignment of
y_addr_start. The possible sequences are shown in Table 13.

Programming Restrictions When Binning and Summing
Binning and summing require different sequencing of the
pixel array and impose different timing limits on the
operation of the sensor.
As a result, when xy-subsampling is enabled, some of the
programming limits declared in the parameter limit registers
are no longer valid. In addition, the default values for some
of the manufacturer-specific registers need to be
reprogrammed. See “Minimum Frame Time” and
”Minimum Row Time”.

Binning, Skipping, and Summing Mode
Summing, skipping, and binning can be combined in the
modes listed in Table 14. Unlike binning mode where the
values of adjacent same color pixels are averaged together,
summing adds the pixel values together resulting in better
sensor sensitivity. Summing is supposed to provide two
times the sensitivity compared to the binning only mode.

Scaler
Scaling reduces the size of the output image while
maintaining the same fieldofview. The input and output of
the scaler is in Bayer format.
When compared to skipping, scaling is advantageous as it
avoids aliasing. The scaling factor, programmable in 1/16
steps, is used for horizontal and vertical scalers.
The AR0833 sensor is capable of horizontal scaling and
full (horizontal and vertical) scaling.
The scale factor is determined by:
n, which is fixed at 16
m, which is adjustable with register R0x0404
Legal values for m are 16 through 96, giving the user
the ability to scale from 1:1 (m = 16) to 1:6 (m = 96)
Frame Rate Control
The formulas for calculating the frame rate of the AR0833
are shown below.
The line length is programmed directly in pixel clock
periods through register line_length_pck. For a specific
window size, the minimum line length can be found from
Equation 8:
minimum line_length_pck +ǒx_addr_end *x_addr_start )1
subsampling factor )min_line_blanking_pckǓ(eq. 8)
Note that line_length_pck also needs to meet the
minimum line length requirement set in register
min_line_length_pck. The row time can either be limited by
the time it takes to sample and reset the pixel array for each
row, or by the time it takes to sample and read out a row.
Values for min_line_blanking_pck are provided in
“Minimum Row Time”.
The frame length is programmed directly in number of
lines in the register frame_line_length. For a specific
window size, the minimum frame length can be found in
Equation 9:
minimum frame_length_lines +ǒy_addr_end *y_addr_start )1
subsampling factor )min_frame_blanking_linesǓ(eq. 9)
The frame rate can be calculated from these variables and
the pixel clock speed as shown in Equation 10:
frame rate +
vt_pixel_clock_mhz 1 106
line_length_pck frame_length_lines (eq. 10)
If coarse_integration_time is set larger than
frame_length_lines the frame size will be expanded to
coarse_integration_time + 1.
Minimum Row Time
Enough time must be given to the output FIFO so it can
output all data at the set frequency within one row time.
There are therefore two checks that must all be met when
programming line_length_pck:
line_length_pck min_line_length_pck in Table 15
The row time must allow the FIFO to output all data
during each row. That is, line_length_pck
(x_output_size × 2 + 0x005E) × “vt_pix_clk period” /
“op_pix_clk period”
Minimum Frame Time
The minimum number of rows in the image is 1, so
min_frame_length_lines will always equal (min_frame
_blanking_lines + 1).
Table 15. MINIMUM FRAME TIME
AND BLANKING NUMBERS
min_frame_blanking_lines 0x008F
min_frame_length_lines 0x0A1F
Integration Time
The integration (exposure) time of the AR0833 is
controlled by the coarse_integration_time register.
The limits for the coarse integration time are defined by:
coarse_integration_time_min vcoarse_integration_time (eq. 11)
The actual integration time is given by:
integration_time +
coarse_integration_time line_length_pck
vt_pix_clk_freq_mhz 106(eq. 12)
It is required that:
coarse_integration_time v(frame_length_lines *coarse_integration_time_max_margin) (eq. 13)
If this limit is broken, the frame time will automatically be
extended to (coarse_integration_time + coarse_integartion_
time_max_margin) to accommodate the larger integration
time.
In binning mode, frame_length_lines should be set larger
than coarse_integration_time by at least 3 to avoid column
imbalance artifact.

Flash Timing Control
The AR0833 supports both xenon and LED flash timing
through the FLASH output signal. The timing of the FLASH
signal with the default settings is shown in Figure 30
(xenon) and Figure 31 (LED). The flash and flash_count
registers allow the timing of the flash to be changed. The
flash can be programmed to fire only once, delayed by a few
frames when asserted, and (for xenon flash) the flash
duration can be programmed.
Enabling the LED flash will cause one bad frame, where
several of the rows only have the flash on for part of their
integration time. This can be avoided either by first enabling
mask bad frames (R0x301A[9] = 1) before the enabling the
flash or by forcing a restart (R0x301A[1] = 1) immediately
after enabling the flash; the first bad frame will then be
masked out, as shown in Figure 31. Read-only bit flash[14]
is set during frames that are correctly integrated; the state of
this bit is shown in Figures 30 and Figure 31.

Global Reset Release (GRR)
Global reset release mode allows the integration time of
the AR0833 to be controlled by an external
electromechanical shutter. GRR mode is generally used in
conjunction with ERS mode. The ERS mode is used to
provide viewfinder information, the sensor is switched into
GRR mode to capture a single frame, and the sensor is then
returned to ERS mode to restore viewfinder operation.
Overview of Global Reset Release Sequence
The basic elements of the GRR sequence are:
1. By default, the sensor operates in ERS mode and
the SHUTTER output signal is LOW. The
electromechanical shutter must be open to allow
light to fall on the pixel array. Integration time is
controlled by the coarse_integration_time register.
2. A global reset sequence is triggered.
3. All of the rows of the pixel array are placed in
reset.
4. All of the rows of the pixel array are taken out of
reset simultaneously. All rows start to integrate
incident light. The electromechanical shutter may
be open or closed at this time.
5. If the electromechanical shutter has been closed, it
is opened.
6. After the desired integration time (controlled
internally or externally to the AR0833), the
electromechanical shutter is closed.
7. A single output frame is generated by the sensor
with the usual LV, FV, PIXCLK, and DOUT timing.
As soon as the output frame has completed (FV
negates), the electromechanical shutter may be
opened again.
8. The sensor automatically resumes operation in
ERS mode.
This sequence is shown in Figure 32. The following
sections expand to show how the timing of this sequence is
controlled.
AR0833

Figure 32. Overview of Global Reset Sequence
ERS Row Reset Integration Readout ERS
Entering and Leaving the Global Reset Sequence
A global reset sequence can be triggered by a register
write to R0x315E global_seq_trigger[0] (global trigger, to
transition this bit from a 0 to a 1) or by a rising edge on a
suitably-configured GPI input).
When a global reset sequence is triggered, the sensor waits
for the end of the current row. When LV negates for that row,
FV is negated 6 PIXCLK periods later, potentially
truncating the frame that was in progress.
The global reset sequence completes with a frame
readout. At the end of this readout phase, the sensor
automatically resumes operation in ERS mode. The first
frame integrated with ERS will be generated after a delay of
approximately ((13 + coarse_integration_time) x
line_length_pck). This sequence is shown in Figure 33.
While operating in ERS mode, double-buffered registers
(“Double-Buffered Registers”) are updated at the start of
each frame in the usual way. During the global reset
sequence, double-buffered registers are updated just before
the start of the readout phase.

Programmable Settings
The registers global_rst_end and global_read_start allow
the duration of the row reset phase and the integration phase
to be controlled, as shown in Figure 34. The duration of the
readout phase is determined by the active image size.
The recommended setting for global_rst_end is 0x3160
(for example, 512 μs total reset time) with default
vt_pix_clk. This allows sufficient time for all rows of the
pixel array to be set to the correct reset voltage level. The
row reset phase takes a finite amount of time due to the
capacitance of the pixel array and the capability of the
internal voltage booster circuit that is used to generate the
reset voltage level.
As soon as the global_rst_end count has expired, all rows
in the pixel array are taken out of reset simultaneously and
the pixel array begins to integrate incident light.

Control of the Electromechanical Shutter
Figure 35 shows two different ways in which a shutter can
be controlled during the global reset sequence. In both cases,
the maximum integration time is set by the difference
between global_read_start and global_rst_end. In shutter
example 1, the shutter is open during the initial ERS
sequence and during the row reset phase. The shutter closes
during the integration phase. The pixel array is integrating
incident light from the start of the integration phase to the
point at which the shutter closes. Finally, the shutter opens
again after the end of the readout phase. In shutter example
2, the shutter is open during the initial ERS sequence and
closes sometime during the row reset phase. The shutter both
opens and closes during the integration phase. The pixel
array is integrating incident light for the part of the
integration phase during which the shutter is open. As for the
previous example, the shutter opens again after the end of
the readout phase.

It is essential that the shutter remains closed during the
entire row readout phase (that is, until FV has negated for the
frame readout); otherwise, some rows of data will be
corrupted (over-integrated).
It is essential that the shutter closes before the end of the
integration phase. If the row readout phase is allowed to start
before the shutter closes, each row in turn will be integrated
for one row-time longer than the previous row.
After FV negates to signal the completion of the readout
phase, there is a time delay of approximately (10 x
line_length_pck) before the sensor starts to integrate
light-sensitive rows for the next ERS frame. It is essential
that the shutter be opened at some point in this time window;
otherwise, the first ERS frame will not be uniformly
integrated.
The AR0833 provides a SHUTTER output signal to
control (or help the host system control) the
electromechanical shutter. The timing of the SHUTTER
output is shown in Figure 36. SHUTTER is negated by
default. The point at which it asserts is controlled by the
programming of global_shutter_start. At the end of the
global reset readout phase, SHUTTER negates
approximately (2 x line_length_pck) after the negation of
FV.
This programming restriction must be met for correct
operation:
global_read_start > global_shutter_start

Using FLASH with Global Reset
If R0x315E global_seq_trigger[2] = 1 (global flash
enabled) when a global reset sequence is triggered, the
FLASH output signal will be pulsed during the integration
phase of the global reset sequence. The FLASH output will
assert a fixed number of cycles after the start of the
integration phase and will remain asserted for a time that is
controlled by the value of the flash_count register. When
flash_count is programmed for value N, (where N is
0–0x3FE) the resulting flash duration is given by
N x 512 x (1/vt_pix_clk_freq_mhz), as shown in Figure 37.

When the flash_count = 0x3FF, the flash signal will be
maximized and goes LOW when readout starts, as shown in
Figure 38. This would be preferred if the latency in closing
the shutter is longer than the latency for turning off the flash.
This guarantees that the flash stays on while the shutter is
open.

External Control of Integration Time
If global_seq_trigger[1] = 1 (global bulb enabled) when
a global reset sequence is triggered, the end of the
integration phase is controlled by the level of trigger
(global_seq_trigger[0] or the associated GPI input). This
allows the integration time to be controlled directly by an
input to the sensor.
This operation corresponds to the shutter “B” setting on a
traditional camera, where “B” originally stood for “Bulb”
(the shutter setting used for synchronization with a
magnesium foil flash bulb) and was later considered to stand
for “Brief” (an exposure that was longer than the shutter
could automatically accommodate).
When the trigger is de-asserted to end integration, the
integration phase is extended by a further time given by
global_read_start – global_shutter_start. Usually this
means that global_read_start should be set to
global_shutter_start + 1.
The operation of this mode is shown in Figure 39. The
figure shows the global reset sequence being triggered by the
GPI2 input, but it could be triggered by any of the GPI inputs
or by the setting and subsequence clearing of the
global_seq_trigger[0] under software control.
The integration time of the GRR sequence is defined as:
Integration Time +
global_scale [global_read_start *global_shutter_start *global_rst_end]
vt_pix_clk_freq_mhz (eq. 14)
where:
global_read_start +ǒ216 global_read_start2[7:0] )global_read_start1[15:0]Ǔ(eq. 15)
global_shutter_start +ǒ216 global_shutter_start2[7:0] )global_shutter_start1[15:0]Ǔ(eq. 16)
The integration equation allows for 24-bit precision when
calculating both the shutter and readout of the image. The
global_rst_end has only 16-bit as the array reset function
and requires a short amount of time.
The integration time can also be scaled using
global_scale. The variable can be set to
0–512, 1–2048, 2–128, and 3–32.
These programming restrictions must be met for correct
operation of bulb exposures:
global_read_start > global_shutter_start
global_shutter_start > global_rst_end
global_shutter_start must be smaller than the exposure
time (that is, this counter must expire before the trigger
is de-asserted)

Retriggering the Global Reset Sequence
The trigger for the global reset sequence is edge-sensitive;
the global reset sequence cannot be retriggered until the
global trigger bit (in the R0x315E global_seq_trigger
register) has been returned to “0,” and the GPI (if any)
associated with the trigger function has been negated.
The earliest time that the global reset sequence can be
retriggered is the point at which the SHUTTER output
negates; this occurs approximately (2 x line_length_pck)
after the negation of FV for the global reset readout phase.
Using Global Reset with SMIA Data Path
When a global reset sequence is triggered, it usually
results in the frame in progress being truncated (at the end
of the current output line). The SMIA data path limiter
function (see Figure 40) attempts to extend (pad) all frames
to the programmed value of y_output_size. If this padding
is still in progress when the global reset readout phase starts,
the SMIA data path will not detect the start of the frame
correctly. Therefore, to use global reset with the serial data
path, this timing scenario must be avoided. One possible
way of doing this would be to synchronize (under software
control) the assertion of trigger to an end-of-frame marker
on the serial data stream.
At the end of the readout phase of the global reset
sequence, the sensor automatically resumes operation in
ERS mode.

Global Reset and Soft Standby
If the R0x301A[2] mode_select[stream] bit is cleared
while a global reset sequence is in progress, the AR0833 will
remain in streaming state until the global reset sequence
(including frame readout) has completed, as shown in
Figure 40.

Slave Mode
Slave mode is to ensure having an ERS-GRR-ERS
transition without a broken ERS frame before GRR. It
requests to trigger/end the GRR sequence through the pin
which is similar to the GRR Bulb mode. The major
difference to our existing sensor is to start the GRR sequence
after the end of the current frame instead of to start
immediately in the next following row.

GAIN
AR0833 supports both analog and digital gain.
Analog Gain
Analog gain is provided by colamp and ADC reference
scaling (there is no ASC gain due to column parallel nature
of architecture). Only global (not per-color) coarse gain can
be set by analog gain. Global gain register (R0x305E) sets
the analog gain. Bits [1:0] set the colamp gain while bits
[4:2] are reserved for ADC gain. While the 2-bit colamp gain
provides up to 4x analog gain, only LSB (bit [2]) of ADC
gain bits is utilized to support 2x ADC gain. Table 16 is the
recommended gain setting:

01000212
10000313
11000414
10001326
11001428
Digital Gain
Digital gain provides both per-color and fine (sub 1x)
gain. The analog and digital gains are multiplicative to give
the total gain. Digital gain is set by setting bits
R0x305E[15:5] to set global gain or by individually setting
digital color gain R0x3056-C[15:5] where these 11 bits are
designed in 4p7 format i.e. 4 MSB provide gain up to 15x in
step of 1x while 7 LSB provide sub-1x gain with a step size
of 1/128. This sub-1x gain provides the fine gain control for
the sensor.
Total Gain
Max. total gain required by design spec is 8x (analog) and
16x (digital) with min. step size of 1/8. The total gain
equation can be formulated as:
Total Gain +(1 )dec(R0x305D[1:0])) (1 )R0x305E[2]) dec(R0x305X[15:5])
128 (eq. 17)
where X is 6, 8, A, C, for Gr, B, R and Gb, respectively.
NOTE: ON Semiconductor recommends using the
registers mentioned above for gain settings.
Avoid R0x3028 to R0x3038 unless their
mapping to above registers is well understood
and taken into account.

TEMPERATURE SENSOR
A standalone PTAT based temperature sensor has been
implemented. The block is controlled independent of sensor
timing and all communication happens through the
two-wire serial interface.
INTERNAL VCM DRIVER
The AR0833 utilizes an internal Voice Coil Motor (VCM)
driver. The VCM functions are register-controlled through
the serial interface.
There are two output ports, VCM_ISINK and
VCM_GND, which would connect directly to the AF
actuator.
Take precautions in the design of the power supply routing
to provide a low impedance path for the ground connection.
Appropriate filtering would also be required on the actuator
supply. Typical values would be a 0.1 μF and 10 μF in
parallel.

EXTCLK
The electrical characteristics of the EXTCLK input are
shown in Table 20. The EXTCLK input supports an
AC-coupled sine-wave input clock or a DC-coupled
square-wave input clock.
If EXTCLK is AC-coupled to the AR0833 and the clock
is stopped, the EXTCLK input to the AR0833 must be
driven to ground or to VDD_IO. Failure to do this will result
in excessive current consumption within the EXTCLK input
receiver.
