Hi, I've been wanting to start a project to build a small camera. I'm looking to take a cmos camera (most likely 1.3mp such as omnivision 9655) and take a still image and store on a sd card. Speed isn't really a concern, but I wasn't sure what the best way to deal with the amount of data being sent out by the cmos camera. I'd like to keep the cost and complexity as low as possible. Would...

The M 69 AW 024 2 megaByte DRAM is so low power , they did not want to call it DRAM , so they tagged it PSRAM All the transistor methods are pulling about same milliwatts/megahertz , so CMOS is same as DRAM . CMOS at 50Mhz gets hot ! So why not just use DRAM !! Besides , 2MegaBytes is impossible ,in CMOS at that price and density ... ...

Hi all. I'm making a project with a low-resolution camera and I want to transmit the captured frames over an USB channel. The camera is an Omnivision CMOS with 400x400pixel resolution(it uses a bayer pattern) and 10/8 bit Raw output. I saw the CMUcam project and if was possible i would make a similar project. I thought I'd use the following chips: Camera CMOS + FIFO buffer(Texas Instrumen...

Hi there, I am looking into doing a new design which requires taking periodic still shot pictures from a CMOS camera and storing them into SD memory. I am looking into the feasiblity of this using a Microcontroller to do this. I have used mainly PIC 16 bit products in the past. There may be a better option available out there. I would like to get some feedback from some you experienced design...

Greetings: A recent thread in this N.G. addressed the issue of dead batteries in CMOS Clock/Calendar/RAM devices such as the Dallas DS1287, DS12887, Twinhead TH6887A, and others; some of these devices are no longer available as new stock and old stock is often also unusable and for many there are no equivalent replacements. Surgery to permit attaching external backup power sources is poss...

Hi Everyone In the case of a simple configuration comprising a CMOS microprocessor plus one external CMOS SRAM, it may well happen that the processor's external bus interface becomes inactive for long periods (for instance, when the uP is accessing code and data in internal memory). In this case, the bus is high impedance, and could, in principle, float to a voltage mid-way between the p...

Hi Everyone I'm designing a system which uses low power SRAM powered by battery as a backup device. The data sheet states that all I/Os mus be kept within 0.2V of either Vcc or GND for the standby current to be guaranteed. This is no surprise, one CMOS device must be held firmly in the off state. The I/Os will be connected to a powered down CMOS buffer while in standby mode, and my ...

comp.arch.embedded cmos fet driver The cd4041ub looks good for driving an fet with about 2500 pf at the input. In the test circuit, the 4041 is driven by an optical isolator's output with rise & fall times in the neighborhood of 5 micro sec's. In this setup, the 4041 noninverting output drives 2500 pf in about 1/4 of a microsecond, rising & falling - well within limits. However, th...

Hi, I tried to look for similar topics in the archive but no luck. I have a cmos image sensor, and it has a "two-wire serial interface" to read/write its on-chip registers. I tried to treat it like a I2C protocol, and fed a 100KHz at SCL, and write an address byte at SDA, but cannot get the acknowledge bit. Is it about the values of pull-up resistors in SCL and SDA? Or the clocking frequ...
