the trailing edge of the first RS pulse. This mode works for TR1

only, under all TR1 settings (normal and CIS TR1 Timing

modes 1 and 2).

4.3 AFE Operation

The LM9830 supports the following operation modes, controlled

by registers 26 and 27:

• 3 Channel Pixel Rate Mode. In this mode all three channels are

converted with the multiplexer in front of the ADC switching at

the ADC conversion rate, producing interleaved RGB data that

is transferred to RAM. The ADC runs at MCLK/8, each chan-

nel’s pixel rate is MCLK/24. Each color has its own offset and

gain coefficients. This mode typically uses Illumination Mode 1.

• 3 Channel LIne Rate Mode. In this mode all three channels are

converted with the multiplexer in front of the ADC switching at

the line rate, producing a line of Red data, followed by a line of

Green data, followed by a line of Blue data, etc. that is trans-

ferred to RAM. The selected channel and the ADC both run at

MCLK/8. Each color has its own offset and gain coefficients.

This mode typically uses Illumination Mode 1.

In the 3 Channel Line Rate Mode three TR pulses are generated.

TRRED is the TR1 output, TRGREEN is the TR2 output, and

TRBLUE is the CP2 output. In this mode TR pulses for a particular

color can be “skipped”, increasing the integration time for that

color. In the example shown in Figure 38, the red channel sees 2

times the integration time of the green channel, and the blue

channel sees 3 times the integration time of the green channel.

Each channel can be independently programmed to drop 0, 1, or

2 TR pulses.

Each color’s TR pulse can be programmed to occur in position 1

(inside Ø1 high) or position 2 (inside Ø1 low), as shown in Figure

39.

• 1 Channel Mode. In this mode only one of the three channels is

being converted. That channel and the ADC are clocked at

MCLK/8. The channel is chosen in the configuration register.

There are two variations of 1 Channel Mode:

• 1 Channel Mode A: Uses the selected channel’s offset and gain

coefficients for all lines. This mode typically uses Illumination

Mode 3.
