INTRODUCTION
The S5K3A1EA is highly integrated single chip CMOS image sensor, fabricated by SAMSUNG 0.18um CMOS image sensor process technology. It is developed for image application to realize high efficiency photo sensor. The sensor has 1280 x 1024 effective pixels with 1/3 inch optical format. The sensor has on-chip 10-bit ADC blocks to digitize the pixel output and also on-chip CDS to reduce Fixed Pattern Noise (FPN) drastically. With its few interface signals and 10-bit raw data directly connected to the external devices, a camera system can be configured easily.
