Ordering Information
Architecture and Operation
Floor Plan
The basic architecture of the sensor is shown in the Logic Block
Diagram on page 1. The Y shift registers point at a row of imager
arrays. The imager arrays row is selected by the row drivers or
reset by them. There are two Y shift registers, one points at the
row that is read out and the other points at the row to be reset.
The second pointer may lead the first pointer by a specific
number of rows. In that case, the time difference between both
pointers is the integration time. Alternatively, both shift registers
can point at the same row for reset and readout for a faster reset
sequence. When the row is read out, it is also reset. This is to do
double sampling for fixed pattern noise reduction.
The pixel array of the IBIS4-14000 consists of 4536 x 3024 active
pixels and 24 additional columns and rows which can be
addressed (see Figure 1). The column amplifiers read out the
pixel information and perform the double sampling operation.
They also multiplex the signals on the readout buses which are
buffered by the output amplifiers.
The shift registers can be configured for various subsampling
modes. The output amplifiers can be individually powered down
and some other extra functions are available. These options are
configurable via a serial input port.

Figure 2. Pixel and Column Structure Schematic
Architecture
The pixel is a classic three transistor active pixel. The photodiode
is a high-fill-factor n-well/p-substrate diode. The chip has
separate power supplies for the following:
General power supply for the analog image core (VDD)
Power supply for the reset line drivers (VDDR)
Separate power supply for the pixel itself (VDDARRAY).
FPN and PRNU
Fixed Pattern Noise correction is done on-chip using the Double
Sampling technique. The pixel is read out and this voltage value
is sampled on the capacitor SHS. After read out the pixel is reset
again and this value is sampled by SHR. Both sample and reset
values of each pixel are subtracted in the column amplifiers to
subtract FPN. Raw images taken by the sensor typically feature
a residual (local) FPN of 0.11% RMS of the saturation voltage.
The Photo Response Non Uniformity (PRNU), caused by
mismatch of photodiode node capacitances, is not corrected
on-chip. Measurements indicate that the typical PRNU is less
than1% RMS of the signal level.

Color Filter Array (CFA)
Figure 3. Color Filter Arrang ement on the Pixels
The IBIS4-14000 can also be processed with a Bayer RGB color
pattern. Pixel (0,0) has a green filter and is situated on a
green-red ro w.
Figure 4 shows the response of the color filter array as a function
of the wavelength. Note that this response curve includes the
optical cross talk and the NIR filter of the color glass lid as well
(see “Cover Glass” on page 24 for response of the color glass
lid).
Output Stage
Unity gain buffers are implemented as output amplifiers. T hese
amplifiers can be directly DC-coupled to the analog-digital
converter or coupled to an external programmable gain amplifier .
The (dark reference) offset of the output signal is adjustable
between 1.7V and 3V. The amplifier output signal is negative
going with increasing ligh t levels, with a max. amplitud e of 1.2V
(at 4V reset voltage, in hard reset mode). The output signal range
of the output amplifiers is betw een 0.5V and 3V.
Notes on analog video signal and output amplifier specifications:
Video polarity: the video signal is negative going with increasing
light level.
Signal offset: the analog offset of the video signal is settable
by an external DC bias (pin 12 DARKREF). The settable range
is between 1.7V and 3V, with 2.65V being the nominal expected
set point. Hence, the output range (including 1.2V video signal)
is between 3V and 0.5V.
Power control: the output amplifiers can be switched between
an “operating” mode and a “standby” mode via the serial port
of the imager (see “SPI Register ” on page 12 for the configu-
ration).
Coupling: the IBIS4-14000 can be DC- or AC-coupled to the
AD converter.

Output Amplifier Crossbar Switch (multiplexer)
A crossbar switch is available that routes the green pixels always
to the same output (this is useful for a color device to avoid gain
and offset differences between green pixels). The switch can be
controlled automatically (with a toggle on every CLK_Y rising
edge) or manually (through the SPI register).
A pulse on SYNC_Y resets the crossbar switch. The initial state
after reset of the switchboard is read from the SPI control
register. When the automatic toggling of the switchboard is
enabled, it toggles on every rising edge of the CLK_Y clock.
Separate pins are used for the SYNC_Y and CLK_Y sign als on
the crossbar logic these pins can be connected to the SYNC_YL
and CLK_YL pins of the shift register that is used for readout as
shown in Figure 5.

Readout and Subsampling Modes
The subsampling modes available on the IBIS4-14000 are
summarized in Table 2.
Each mode is selected independently for the X and Y shift
registers. The subsampling mode is configured via the serial
input port of the chip. The Y and X shift registers have some
difference in subsampling modes becau se of constraints in the
design of the chip.
The baseline full resolution operation mode uses four outputs to
read out the e ntire image. Four conse cutive pixels of a row are
put in parallel on the four parallel outputs.
Subsampling is implemented by a shift register with hard coded
subsample modes. Depending on the selected mode the shift
register skips the required number of pixels when shifting the row
or column pointer.
The X shift register always selects four consecutive columns in
parallel. You can subsample in X by activating one of the modes
wherein a multiple of four consecutive columns are skipped on a
CLK_X pulse. The Y shift register selects a single row . It consec-
utively selects two adjacent rows and then skips a set number of
rows (the number of rows to skip is set in the subsample mode).
This implementation is chosen for easy subsampling of color
images through a 2-channel readout. This way color data from
2x2 pixels is made available in all subsample modes. On
monochrome sensors this is not required, one output can be
used and every second row selected by the Y shift register can
be skipped. This doubles the frame rate. Note that for 2 or 1
channel readout, you can power down the not-used output ampli-
fiers through the SPI shift register.
Rows can also be skipped by extra CLK_Y pulses. You do not
need to apply additional control pulses to rows that are skipped.
This is another way to implement extra subsampling schemes.
For example, to support the 24:1 X shift register mode vertically,
set the Y shift register to the 12:1 mode and given an additional
CLK_Y pulse at the start of each row.
Table 3 lists the frame rates of the IBIS4-14000 in various
subsample modes with only one output. Th e row blanking time
(dead time between readout of successive rows) is set to 17.5 s.
Note The 24 additional co lumns and rows do not subsample (see Figure 1 on page 2).

Sensor Read Out Timing Diagrams
Row Sequencer
The row sequencer controls pulses to be given at the start of
each new line. Figure 9 on page 9 shows the timing diagram for
this sequence.
The signals to be controlled at each row are:
CLK_YL and CLK_YR: These are the clocks of the YL and YR
shift register . They can be driven by the same signals and at a
continuous frequency . At every rising edge, a new row is being
selected.
SELECT: This signal connects the pixels of the currently
sampled line with the columns. It is important that PC and
SELECT are never active together.
PC: An initialization pulse that needs to be given to precharge
the column.
SHS (Sample & Hold pixel Signal): This signal controls the track
and hold circuits in the column amplifiers. It is used to sample
the pixel signal in the columns. (0 = track ; 1 = hold).
RESET: This pulse resets the pixels of the row that is currently
being selected. In rolling shutte r mode , the RESET signal is
pulsed a second time to reset the row selected by the YR shift
register. For “reset black” da rk referenc e signal s, the reset
pulse can be pulsed also during the first PC pulse. Normall y,
the rising edge of RESET and the falling edge of PC occur at
the same position. The falling edge of RESET lags behind the
rising PC edge.
SHR (Sample & Hold pixel Reset level): This signal controls
another track and hold circuit in the column amplifiers. It is used
to sample the pixel reset level in the columns (for double
sampling). (0 = track ; 1 = hold).
SYL (Select YL register): Selects the YL shift register to drive
the reset line of the pixel array.
SYR (Select YR register): Selects the YR shift register to drive
the reset line of the pixel array . For rolling shutter applications,
SYL and SYR are complementary. In full frame readout, both
registers may be selected together , only if it is guaranteed that
both shift registers point to the same row . This can reduce the
row blanking time.
SYNC_YR and SYNC_YL: Synchronization pulse for the YR
and YL shift registers. The SYNC_YR/SYNC_YL signal is
clocked in during a rising edge on CLK_YR/CLK_YL and resets
the YR/YL shift register to the first row . Both pulses are pulsed
only once each frame. The exact pulsing scheme depends on
the mode of use (full frame/ rolling shutter). A 200 ns setup time
applies. See Table 4 on page 9.
SYNC_X: Resets the column pointer to the first row. This has
to be done before the end of the first PC pulse in case the
previous line has not been read out completely.
Figure 9 on page 9 shows the basic timing diagram of the
IBIS4-14000 image sensor and Ta b l e 4 on page 9 shows the
timing specifications of the clocking scheme.

In the Figure 9 on page 9 timing diagram, the YR shift register is
used for the electronic shutter. The CLK_YR is driven identically
as CLK_YL. The SYNC_YR pulse leads the SYNC_YL pulse by
a given number of rows. Relative to the row timing , both SYNC
pulses are given at the same time position.
SYNC_YR and SYNC_YL are only pulsed once each frame,
SYNC_YL is pulsed when the first row is read out and SYNC_YR
is pulsed for the electronic shutter at the appropriate moment.
This timing assumes that the registers that control the subsam-
pling modes have been loaded in advance (through the SPI
interface), before the pulse on SYNC_YL or SYNC_YR .
The second reset pulse and the pulses on SYL and SYR (all
pulses drawn in red) are only applied when the rolling electronic
shutter is used. For full frame integration, these pulses are
skipped.
The SYNC_Y pulse is also used to initialize the switchboard
(output multiplexer). This is also done by a synchronous reset on
the rising edge of CLK_Y. Normally the switchboard is controlled
by the shift register used for readout (this is the YL shift register).
This means that pin SYNC_Y can be connected to SYNC_YL,
and pin CLK_Y can be connected to CLK_YL.
The additional RESET BLACK pulse (indicated in dashed lines
in Fig ure 9 on page 9) can be given to make one or more line s
black. This is useful to generate a dark reference signal.
Timing Pulse Pattern for Readout of a Pixel
Figure 10 shows the timing diagram to prese t (sync) the X shift
register, read out th e image row, and analog-dig ital conversion.
There are 3 tasks:
Preset the X shift register: Apply a low level to SYNC_X during
a rising edge on CLK_X at the start of a new row
Readout of the image row: Pulse CLK_X
Analog-digital conversion: Clock the ADC
The SYNC pulses perform a synchronous reset of the shift
registers to the first row/column on a rising edge on CLK. This is
identical for all shift registers (YR, YL and X).
Note
The SYNC_X signal has a setup time Ts of 150 ns. For the
YR and YS shift registers, the setup time is 200 ns. CLK_X must
be stable at least during this setup time.
If a partial row readout is performed, 2 CLK_X pulses (with
SYNC_X = LOW) are required to fully deselect the column where
the X pointer is stopped. A single CLK_X leaves the column
partially selected which then has a different response when read
out in the next row.
When full row readout is performed, the last column is fully
deselected by a single CLK_X pulse (with SYNC_X = LOW). The
X-register is reset by a single CLK_X pulse (with SYNC_X =
LOW). In case of partial row readout, give the SYNC_X pulse
before the sample pulses (SHR and SHS) of the process to avoid
a different response of the last column of the previous window.
For the X shift register the analog signal is delayed by 2 clock
periods before it becomes available at the output (due to internal
processing of the signal in the columns and output amplifier).
Figure 10 gives an example of an ADC clock for an ADC that
samples on the rising edge.

Three pins are used for the serial data interface. This interface converts the serial data into an (internal) parallel data bus
(Serial-Parallel Interface or SPI). The control lines are:
DATA: The data input. LSB is clocked in first.
CLK: Clock, on each rising edge, the value of DATA is clocked in
CS: Chip select, a rising edge on CS loads the parallelized data into the on-chip register.
The initial state of the register is undefined. Howeve r, no state exists that destroys the device.

Storage and Handling
Storage Conditions
Note: RH = Relative Humidity
Handling Precautions
S pecial care should be taken when soldering image sensors with
color filter arrays (RGB color filters) onto a circuit board becasue
color filters are sensitive to high temperatures. Prolonged
heating at elevated temperatures can result in deterioration of
the performance of the sen sor. T he follo wing recommendation s
are made to ensure that sensor performance is not compromised
during users’ assembly processes.
ESD
Though not as sensitive as CCD sensors, the IBIS4-14000 is
vulnerable to ESD like other standard CMOS devices. Device
placement onto boards must be done in accordance with strict
ESD controls for Class 0, JESD22 Human Body Model, and
Class A, JESD22 Machine Model devices. Take into account
standard ESD procedures when manipulating the device:
Assembly operators should always wear all designated and
approved grounding equipment. Grounded wrist straps at ESD
protected workstations are recommended including the use of
ionized blowers. All tools should be ESD protected. To ground
the human body , provide a resistance of 1 MOhm between the
human body and the ground to be on the safe side.
When directly handling the device with the fingers, hold the part
without the leads and do not touch any lead.
To avoid generating static electricity:
Do not scrub the glass surface with cloth or plastic.
Do not attach any tape or labels.
Do not clean the glass surface with dust cleaning tape.
When storing or transporting the device, put it in a container of
conductive material.
Dust and Contamination
Dust or contamination of the glass surface can deteriorate the
output characteristics or cause a scar. In order to minimize dust
or contamination on the glass surface, take the following precau-
tions:
Handle the device in a clean environmen t such as a cleaned
booth (the cleanliness shoul d be, if possible, class 100).
Do not touch the glass surface with the fingers.
Use gloves to manipulate the device.
Soldering
Soldering should be manually performed with 5 seconds at
350°C maximum at the tip of the soldering iron.
Precautions and Cleaning
Avoid spilling solder flux on the cover glass; bare glass and
particularly glass with anti reflection filters can adversely affected
by the flux. Avoid mechanical or particulate damage to the cover
glass. Avoid mechanical stress when mounting the device.
RoHS (Pb-free) Compliance
This section reports the use of Hazardous chemical substances
as required by the RoHS Directive (excluding packing material).
