3. IC904 (V Driver)
V driver is necessary in order to generate the clocks
(vertical transfer clock, horizontal transfer clock and
electronic shutter clock) which driver the CCD.
IC904 is V driver. In addition the XV1-XV4 signals
which are output from IC101 are the vertical transfer
clocks, and the XSG signal which is output from IC102
is superimposed onto XV1 and XV3 at IC904 in order
to generate a ternary pulse. In addition, the XSUB signal
which is output from IC101 is used as the sweep pulse
for the electronic shutter.

5. Lens drive block
5-1. Focus drive
The four control signals (FIN1, FIN2, FIN3 and FIN4)
with different phases which are output from the ASIC
(IC101) are converted into drive pulses (FOUT1,
FOUT2, FOUT3 and FOUT4) by the motor driver
(IC951), and are then used to drive the stepping motor
for focusing operation. Detection of the standard focusing positions is carried out by means of the photointerruptor (FOCUS PI) inside the lens block.
5-2. Iris and shutter drive
The two control signals (IIN1 and IIN2) which are
output from the ASIC (IC101) are converted into drive
pulses (DP1 and DP2) by the motor driver (IC951), and
are then iris opened/middle/little and moved.
The two control signals (SIN1 and SIN2) which is output from the ASIC (IC101) is converted into a drive
pulse (SHUTTER 1 and SHUTTER 2) by the motor
driver (IC951), and are then shutter opened and closed.
5-3. Zoom drive
The two control signals (ZIN1 and ZIN2) which are output from 8-bit micro-processor are converted into drive
pulses (ZOOM_DC1 and ZOOM_DC2) by the motor
drive (IC951), and are then used to drive the DC motor
for zoom operation. Detection of the standard zoom
positions is carried out by means of the photointerruptor
(ZOOM RESET1) inside the lens block. Getting of the
zoom positions is carried out by means of the two photointerrupters (ZOOM PLUSE1 and ZOOM PLUSE2) by
counting 8-bit micro-processor inside the lens block.

values from the subsequent data to make the black level
of the CCD output data uniform for each line. The optical black section of the CCD averaged value for each
line is taken as the sum of the value for the previous line
multiplied by the coefficient k and the value for the current line multiplied by the coefficient 1-k.

maintain a linear relationship between the light input to
the camera and the light output from the picture screen.
2. Color generation circuit
This circuit converts the CCD data into RGB signals.
3. Matrix circuit
This circuit generates the Y signals, R-Y signals and
B-Y signals from the RGB signals.
4. Horizontal and vertical aperture circuit

VAA15001-R.3599.A
7. Outline of Operation
When the shutter opens, the reset signals and the serial
signals (take a picture commands) from the 8-bit microprocessor are input to ASIC (IC101) and operation
starts. When the TG/SG drives the CCD, picture data
passes through the A/D and CDS, and is then input to
the ASIC as 10-bit data. The AF, AE, AWB, shutter, and
AGC value are computed from this data, and three exposures are made to obtain the optimum picture. The data
which has already been stored in the SDRAM is read by
the CPU and color generation is carried out. Each pixel
is interpolated from the surrounding data as being either
Ye, Cy, Mg and Gr primary color data to produce R, G
and B data. At this time, correction of the lens distortion
which is a characteristic of wide-angle lenses is carried out. After AWB and processing are carried out,
a matrix is generated and aperture correction is carried
out for the Y signal, and the data is then compressed by
the JPEG method by (JPEG) and is then written to card
memory (compact flash).
When the data is to be output to an external device,
it is taken data from the memory and output via the
USB. When played back on the LCD and monitor, data
is transferred from memery to the SDRAM, and the
data elongated by JPEG decorder is displayed over the
SDRAM display area.
8. LCD Block
LCD Block is in the CP1 board, and it is constructed by
LCD driver (IC171) and around circuits.
The video signal from the ASIC are converted into RGB
signals by the LCD driver, and these RGB signals and
the control signal which is output by the LCD driver
are used to drive the LCD panel. The RGB signals are
1H transposed so that no DC component is present in
the LCD element, and the two horizontal shift register
clocks drive the horizontal shift registers inside the LCD
panel so that the 1H transposed RGB signals are applied
to the LCD panel. Because the LCD closes more as
the difference in potential between the COM (common
polar voltage: AC) and the R, G and B signals becomes
greater, the display becomes darker; if the difference in
potential is smaller, the element opens and the LCD become brighter.

6-6. TG/SG

million pixels CCD control.
6-7. Digital encorder
It generates chroma signal from color difference signal.
6-8. JPEG encorder and decorder
It is compressed and elongated the data by JPEG system.

VAA15001-R.3599.A
4. Power Supply Control
The 8-bit microprocessor controls the power supply for the overall system.
The following is a description of how the power supply is turned on and off. When the battery is attached, IC952
is operating and creating 4.2 V, a regulated 3.2 V voltage is normally input to the 8-bit microprocessor (IC301) by
IC302, clock counting and key scanning is carried out even when the power switch is turned off, so that the camera
can start up again.
When the power switch is off, the 8-bit microprocessor halts 3 MHz of the main clock, and operates 32.768 kHz of
subclock.
When the battery is removed, the 8-bit microprocessor power switches the secondary lithum battery for memory
backup by IC302, and operates at low consumption. At this condition, the 8-bit microprocessor halts 3 MHz of the
main clock, and operates clock counting by 32.768 kHz of sub clock.
Also, the secondary battery for backup is charged 10 hours from it to be attached.
When the power switch is on, the 8-bit microprocessor starts processing. The 8-bit microprocessor first sets both the
PON signal at pin (5) and the PAON signal at pin (6) to High, and then turn on the power circuit. After PON signal
is to High, sets external port of ASIC after approximately 100 ms. According to setting of this external port, carry
out setting of the operating frequency and oscillation control in the ASIC. Also, it starts communication with ASIC,
and confirms the system is operative.
When the through image is operating, set the PAON signal to High and then turn on the CCD. When the through
image is playing, set the PAON signal to Low and then turn off the CCD. When LCD panel turns on, set LCD ON
signal at pin (7) to High, and then turn on the power. Set BLON signal at pin (22) to High, and turn on the backlight
power.
When the power switch is off, the lens will be stowed, and PON, PAON, LCDON and BLON signals to Low and the
power supply to the whole system is halted. The 8-bit microprocessor halts oscillation of the main clock (3MHz),
and set operation mode of clock ocillation (32.768 kHz).
