VS6663

Overview

The module's main function is to convert the viewed scene into a data stream. The

companion processor’s function is to manage the sensor included in the module in order to

produce the best possible pictures given the module's optics and the scene itself. The

companion processor processes the data stream into a form which is easily handled by up

stream mobile baseband or multimedia processor (MMP) chipsets.

The sensor supplies high-speed clock signal to the coprocessor and provides the

embedded control sequences which allow the coprocessor to synchronize with the frame

and line level timings. The coprocessor then performs the color processing on the raw

image data from the sensor before supplying the final image data to the host.

In a coprocessor architecture, a low speed clock (external clock) is sent by the host to both

the VS6663 and the coprocessor. This is used by the sensor in all phases of operation and

by the coprocessor during the initial stages of system boot up.

During streaming phase, the VS6663 supplies the high-speed data qualification clock for the

coprocessor. The high-speed clock is generated using the VS6663 embedded PLL and is

provided as the continuous data qualification clock.

VS6663 use in a system with software image processing

The VS6663 image sensor can also be directly connected to a baseband or multimedia

processor. No dedicated coprocessor is used in this configuration. The image processing is

done in software within the baseband processor.
