Hi all,

I am trying to use CY7C68013 to grab image sensor data. But I am confused about the hardware connection between CY7C68013 and CMOS sensor.

The CMOS has following interface:

  • sysclk (in)
  • exposure (in)
  • line_valid (out)
  • frame_valid (out)
  • pix_clk (out)
  • Data:D0-D7 (out)
  • I2C

My questions are:

1. Where can I interface the line_valid, frame_valid, pix_clk signal?

I found a case from web:

  • pix_clk==>IFCLK,
  • line_valid==>SLWR,
  • frame_valid==>GPIO.

Is this correct? If frame_valid==>GPIO, how can this GPIO control the data transfer?

2. If I want an external camera triggering architecture, the CMOS_exposure should be connnected to CY7C68013 and then use the external_trigger signal to trigger a GPIO interrupt of CY7C68013? Or just connect the external_trigger to CMOS_exposure dirctly?

3. Is it possible to use the CLKOUT of CY7C68013 to source the CMOS_sysclk? (such as 26.66MHz)

4. Which mode is more suited for this application? Slave FIFO or GPIF?

Thanks in advance.

Best,

Zheng Rong
