!!! Cypress 3.1 megapixel Camera Imager w/Autobrite !!!
Announced today: http://www.cypress.com/portal/server.pt?space=CommunityPage&control=SetCommunity&CommunityID=208&PageID=218&DirectoryID=655146 There's a datasheet and picture here: http://www.cypress.com/portal/server.pt?space=CommunityPage&control=SetCommunity&CommunityID=209&PageID=418&r_folder=More%20Resources&r_title=3%20Megapixel%20Camera%20Phone%20Imager%20Photo%20and%20Datasheet Obviously this incorporates SMaL technology... Maybe it's similar to the imagers in other SMaL cameras?

Thanks for a quick notice sailpix. I followed up with a post on photo.net - http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00CmKV Along with another - http://www.photo.net/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=00CmIz I wonder how long the blasts will last before a moderator deletes my posts.

I believe it is the same one I linked to here, not sure what the double "A" is at the end of the part number though. Haven't really read through that one yet. forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=5893" target="_blank">http://camerahacks.10.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=5893

zapped, For some reason I didn't save that PDF - I don't know why since I seem to save everything else... But, I did save a printed copy. :) It is mostly the same as the datasheet that brandonu linked to - same document number and part number. But, what I have printed corresponds to the first document revision (Rev = "**") shown on the "Document History Page" in the current document. In fact, the changes listed in the current document are probably a good summary of what's different from that original document release... If you have some specific detail that you want to see then I can look that up for you - or scan a page of my old document. Or, PM me your address and I'll mail you the whole thing.

All I really need to know is if the datasheet for the 3MP imager might help in understanding the interface to the 1.3MP or 2MP imagers used in the pv2. I'm trying to nail down all the hardware registers associated with the imager and a datasheet for the correct or at least similarly designed imager will help.

sailpix- 07-02-2007

zapped, Registers seem pretty much the same between the original datasheet (i.e. printout I have) and the currently posted datasheet (i.e. Rev E). So, I don't think my old document well help you much... :-\

Yeah, and according to my "magic beans" to $f10e for the imager configuration, I think that the 3mp imager we have datasheet for is a newer version that went to an I2C interface. Unless I'm mistaken, the imager in the pv2 and ff3 and ff2 are more similar in interface with the VGA automotive sensor IM103.
