MT9M024 NanoVesta Head Board Users Guide May 2012 Revision: EB63 01.1MT9M024 NanoVesta Head Board Users Guide Introduction The NanoVesta Head Board comprises a compact, low cost, high dynamic range (HDR) image sensor, lens and lens housing with adjustable focus, that can bolt directly onto the Lattice HDR-60 Base Board. Both the NanoVesta and HDR-60 boards have been designed to work together as part of the Lattice HDR-60 Video Camera Develop- ment Kit. The NanoVesta Head Board is designed to use the Aptina MT9M024 1/3-inch CMOS Digital Image Sen- sors which feature: Superior low-light performance HD video (720p60) Selectable linear or high dynamic range capture Selectable video or single frame modes On-chip auto exposure and statistics engine Parallel and serial output Auto black level calibration Context switching Read more about the image sensor specifications in the Aptina MT9M024 data sheet. Important: This document (including the schematics in Appendix A) describes the Lattice NanoVesta Head Board marked as Revision 2. This marking can be seen on the top layer silkscreen of the printed circuit board, below the outside perimeter of the lens holder. Features Key features of the NanoVesta Head Board include: Aptina MT9M024 1/3-inch CMOS Digital Image Sensor Lens: F/1.59, <7% distortion, with minimized flare, halo, and ghosting Lens holder with adjustable focus HiSPi and parallel signal connections to the HDR-60 Base Board Selectable 1.8V or 2.8V sensor VDDIO Selectable on-board 27.000 MHz MEMs oscillator, or HDR-60 Base Board oscillator 2.8V, VDDIO, 1.8V, 0.4V voltages are generated from the HDR-60 Base Board 5V Power status LEDs with one user-defined LED General Description The NanoVesta Head Board has been designed for use on the HDR-60 Base Board as part of the HDR-60 Video Camera Development Kit. The NanoVesta Head Board contains the camera sensor portion of the kit, while the HDR-60 Base Board contains the follow-on video camera image processing system. See the HDR-60 Base Board Users Guide for more information concerning that board. Initial Setup and Handling The following is recommended reading prior to removing the evaluation board from the static shielding bag and may or may not apply to your particular use of the board. CAUTION: The devices on the boards can be damaged by improper handling. 2
