Rolling Shutter Readout
The KAC−12040 high speed Rolling Shutter readout
provides the maximum dynamic range while still providing
excellent motion capture. In Rolling Shutter the readout
more closely matches a film camera shutter. Each row of the
image receives the same integration time, but each row starts
and ends at a different time as the shutter travels from the top
of the array to the bottom. In the Figure 18 frame time
illustration this ‘moving shutter’ displays as a sloped edge
for the blue pixel array region, just as the readout edge is
sloped.
The Figure 18 illustration shows a 2 frame output
sequence using the external TRIGGER pin.

Rolling Readout mode can be selected using Bits [1:0] of
Register 01D1h.
Images can be initiated by setting and holding the
TRIGGER input pin or by placing the sensor into
RUNNING mode by writing 03d to register 4019h. If the
TRIGGER input pin is True when at the start of the
integration time for the next frame then the sensor will
complete an additional frame integration and readout.
