PROGRAMMABLE AUTOMATIC BLACK LEVEL CALIBRATION (BLC)

The Programmable Automatic Black-Level Calibration (BLC) function is to adjust the D.C. offset of the

output data such that the digital output code for black pixels is calibrated to a target black level value.

The D.C. offset is determined during the optically-black pixels at the beginning of the linear sensor

and removed during the image-pixels as shown in Figure 27.

Figure 27 Linear Sensor Model

The automatic black level calibration operates assuming 12-bits ADC resolution. Adjustments to

calculations must be made for different ADC resolutions.

The black level calibration process occurs in two stages as shown in Figure 28 below:



Coarse Adjust Calibration - This is a mixed signal loop which removes the coarse offset

by adjusting the offset DAC.



Fine Adjust Calibration - This is a digital loop which removes the remaining offset with

better noise tolerance, utilising ADC over-range to improve the dynamic range of the

system.

TARGET CODES

The user must specify a target black level for each channel through the registers TARGETINP*. If,

during the black-pixel period, the average ADC output code was, for example, 100 and the user

specified the target black level code to be 10, the BLC circuitry would determine 90 codes should be

subtracted from the ADC output. These 90 codes will then be subtracted from every image-pixel code

output from the ADC.

Note: Changing the PGA gain affects the black-level through the device; the gain should therefore not

be changed during a BLC procedure. If the PGA gain changes, then the BLC routine should be re-

run.

The automatic black level calibration feature operates with the assumption of a 12-bit ADC resolution.

The register settings for Target Codes (TARGETINP*) should be set differently depending on the ADC
