GC0328 CMOS Image Sensor
1. Sensor Overview
1.1 General Description
The GC0328 features 640V x 480H resolution with 1/6.5-inch optical format,
and 4-transistorpixel structure for high image quality and low noise variations. It
delivers superior image quality by powerful on-chip design of a 10-bit ADC, and
embedded image signal processor.
The full scale integration of high-performance and low-power functions makes
the GC0328 fit the design, reduce implementation process, and extend the battery life
of cell phones, PDAs, and a wide variety of mobile applications.
The product is capable of operating at up to 30 fps at 24MHZ clock in VGA
mode, which can be completely controlled by user over image quality and data
format.

GC0328 has an active image array of 648x488 pixels. The active pixels are read out
progressively through column/row driver circuits. In order to reduce fixed pattern
noise, CDS circuits are adopted. The analog signal is transferred to digital signal by
10 bit A/D converter. The digital signals are processed in the ISP Block, including
Bayer interpolation, denoise, and color correction, gamma correction, data format
conversion and so on. Users can easily control these functions via two-wire serial
interface bus.

1.6 Pixel Array
Pixel array is covered by Bayer pattern color filters. The primary color BG/GR array
is arranged in line-alternating way.
If no flip in column, column is readout from 0 to 647. If flip in column, column is
read out from 647 to 0.
If no flip in row, row is readout from 0 to 487. If flip in row, row is read out from 487
to 0.
