WINDOWING

The integrated timing and control circuit allows any size window

in any position within the active region of the array to be read out

with a 1x1 pixel resolution. The window read out is called the

“Display Window”.

A “Scan Window” must be defined first, by programing the start

and end row addresses as shown in Figure 13. Four coordinates

(start row address, start column address, end row address &

end column address) are programmed to define the size and

location of the “Display Window” to be read out (see Figure 13).

Figure 13. Windowing

Notes:

• The “Display Window” must always be defined within the

“Scan Window”.

• A “Display Window” can only be read out in the progressive

scan mode.

• By default the “Display Window” is the complete array.

2.1

Programming the scan window

Two registers (SROWS & SROWE) are provided to program the

size of the scan window. The start and end row address of the

scan window is given by:

Where:

SwStartRow

is the contents of the Scan Window start row

SwEndROW

is the contents of the Scan Window end row reg-

ister (SROWE)

SwLsb

is bit 6 of the Display Window LSB register

(DWLSB)

2.2

Programming the display window

Five register (DROWS, DROWE, DCOLS, DCOLE and DWLSB)

are provided to program the display window as described in the

3.0

READ OUT MODES

3.1

Progressive Scan Readout Mode

In progressive scan readout mode, every pixel in every row in

the display window is consecutively read out, one pixel at a time,

starting with the left most pixel in the top most row. Hence, for

the example shown in Figure 13, the read out order will be

a0,b0,...,r0 then a1,b1,...,r1 and so on until pixel r20 is read out.

3.2

Interlaced Readout Mode

In interlaced readout mode, pixels are read out in two fields, an

Odd Field followed by an Even Field.

The Odd Field, consisting of all even rows contained within the

display window, is read out first. Each pixel in the “Odd Field” is

consecutively read out, one pixel at a time, starting with the left

most pixel in the top most even row.

The Even Field, consisting of all odd rows contained within the

display window, is then read out. Each pixel in the “Even Field”

is consecutively read out, one pixel at a time, starting with the

left most pixel in the top most odd row.

Figure 15: Interlace Read Out Mode

Hence, for the example shown in Figure , the display window is

broken up into two fields, as shown in Figure . Pixels a0,b0,...,r0

followed by a2,b2,...,r2 and so on until pixels a20,b20,...r20 in

the even field are read out first. The even field read out is fol-

lowed by pixels in the odd field, a1,b1,...,r1 then a3,b3,...,r3 until

pixels a19,b19,...,r19.
