digital technology and components with CMOS imaging sensors, featuring different resolutions /
frame rates and available in both monochrome and color. The Cheetah family currently supports
Camera Link output. The CHEETAH series is programmable to support Camera Link Deca, Full,
Camera Link Medium and Camera Link Base depending upon the user’s needs.

1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The CHEETAH cameras are advanced, intelligent, high-resolution, progressive scan, fully
programmable and field upgradeable CMOS cameras. They are built around On
Semiconductors area scan Python CMOS imagers and are feature rich with a built-in image
processing engine, low noise, and efficient and optimized internal thermal distribution. The
CHEETAH cameras feature a wide range of programmable functions; including, , exposure
control, frame rate control, area of interest, subsampling, pixel averaging, gain, offset,
several triggering options, strobes, output control, transfer function correction, temperature
monitoring and user programmable and up-loadable LUT.
All Cheetah cameras offer global shutter for superior motion capture and exceptionally high
frame rates for high thru-put applications. Cheetah camera exposure time can be controlled
using an internal control or controlled by an external pulse width. Exposure times up to 1
second with s increments are supported. An Area of Interest (AOI) can be programmed
for each acquisition frame and subsampling or pixel averaging capabilities are also

available. Analog gains up to 10 dB (3.17x) are supported and digital gain controls allow
further expansion of the low-end signal with 24dB (16x) of additional gain available.
A built-in Gamma correction and user-defined Look-up Table (LUT) capability optimizes
the camera’s dynamic range even further. Defective pixel Correction (DPC) and hot pixel
correction (HPC) can also be applied to correct for pixels that are over-responding or under-
responding. Auto-White Balance (AWB) is available in color cameras to correct for color
temperature. The cameras have a Camera Link™ interface that includes 8/10/12 bits data
transmission with two, four, eight or ten output taps as well as camera control all on one or
two cables. The cameras are fully programmable via the Camera Link interface. The
adaptability and flexibility of the camera allow it to be used in a wide and diverse range of
applications including machine vision, metrology high-definition imaging and surveillance,
medical and scientific imaging, intelligent transportation systems, aerial imaging, character
recognition, document processing and many more.

1.3.1 General Information
A CMOS camera is an electronic device for converting light into an electrical signal.
The camera contains a light sensitive element CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide
Semiconductor) where an electronic representation of the image is formed. The CMOS
image sensor consists of a two dimensional array of sensitive elements silicon
photodiodes, also known as pixels. The photons falling on the CMOS surface create
photoelectrons within the pixels, where the number of photoelectrons is linearly
proportional to the light level. Although the number of electrons collected in each
pixel is linearly proportional to the light level and exposure time, the amount of
electrons varies with the wavelength of the incident light.

1.3.1.1 Global Shutter Description
All Cheetah cameras support global shutter readout mode. In Global Shutter (GS)
mode every pixel starts and stops integration at the same time. This mode is excellent
for clean capture of moving scenes without the need for a mechanical shutter. When
global shutter mode is used, all pixel data is stored in light shielded regions within
each pixel and held there until readout. (Figure 1.0)
Figure 1: Global Shutter Description
1.3.1.2 A/D architecture and frame rate controls
The C5180, C4181, C4180 and C3880 image sensors multiplex 80 (C5180), 64
(C4181 and C4180) and 60 (C3880) columns respectively into an array of 64 A/D
converters. The camera takes care of all the details of re-ordering the lines within
frame grabber memory. Unlike a CCD where digitization is performed within one
pixel time, these cameras perform digitize at 1/64
th
the pixel rate (64 A/D converters)
and the digitization has a depth of 10-bits
The image sensor provides up to thirty-two LVDS outputs and the time to readout one
line from the image sensor is much less than the time necessary to output the data
using Camera Link. The camera compensates for this mismatch in data output rate
versus data capture rate using two methods: a variable pixel clock for line readout and
the ability to add 1 micro-second of delay (row overhead) time at the end of each line
output by the camera. Slowing down the pixel line clock and adding delay (dead time)
at the end of each line allow the Camera Link grabber to keep pace with the camera
output.

1.3.3 Bayer Pattern Information
CHEETAH is available with Monochrome or Color CMOS imager. To generate a
color image a set of color filters (Red, Green, and Blue) arranged in a “Bayer”
pattern, are placed over the pixels. The starting color is Red.
