... Battery level detect and USB auto-switch An on-chip battery level detector on STV0681 detects when the battery voltage falls below a threshold. The chosen threshold level is determined by a resistor value, as shown in Where no USB has been detected, the LCD display flashes, indicating that the battery is low. When a USB connection has been detected, the LCD display does not flash ...

... Flashgun exposure When the STV0681 and a flashgun module are included in the camera, and the flashgun enable signal is high, the exposure mode operates in a different manner. The CMOS sensor progressive scan readout requires that the sensor is set to maximum exposure so that all lines are exposed. ...

If the last object captured was an audio recording, 'dA' (delete audio) is displayed, if the last object was an image, then 'dP' (delete picture) is displayed, or, if the last object was part of a continuous capture sequence, then 'dC' (delete continuous) is displayed. If the camera is empty, the mode is suppressed. The mode works like ‘ ...

... STV0681 is designed to interface to an external 16Mbit or 64Mbit SDRAM (see SDRAM device must have a 16 bit wide data bus and operate from a 3.3V supply. Two sizes of SDRAM memory are supported by STV0681, 16MBits ( bits wide) or 64MBits ( bits wide), the memory size is auto-detected by STV0681. STV0681 clocks the SDRAM at 6MHz, typically this is well below the figures offered by most manufacturers’ ...

... AS 4.2.3 SDRAM refresh period The SDRAM refresh period from STV0681 is guaranteed to be inferior or equal to 15.6 s during ‘Snapshot’/self-timer/continuous/tethered video modes of operation (that is not standby mode). In standby mode, the SDRAM is set to self-refresh, therefore no refresh from STV0681 takes place. 4.2.4 SDRAM initialisation period The SDRAM initialisation period is currently set to 981 s in STV0681 ...

... This allows direct connection from STV0681 to a USB connector with minimal additional hardware (that is a small number of passive discretes) - see The USB interface interfaces the STV0681 to the USB at full speed 12MHz data rate. Some of the features are: Compliant with USB protocol revision 1.1. ...

... This is to provide rejection of false start bits. If the start bit proves valid, reception of the rest of the frame proceeds. Transmitting data When a transmission is activated by STV0681, the contents of an internal transmit shift register are shifted onto the TXD pin, every 8.66 s. The UART operates at 12MHz, which is not an integer multiple of 115200, so the actual baud rate is 115232 +/- 0 ...
Page 23
... Power management and battery type STV0681 and the SDRAM require a 3.3V supply. When a VV6411 or VV6501 (3.3V) sensor is used, a single voltage regulator can regulate the supply for all three components from the battery, or the sensor on-board VReg can be used. These are explained more fully in the reference design. ...

... Audio Playback Hardware interface STV0681 outputs the desired signal level through the DAC output, which is amplified to the speaker or headphone socket. GPIO6 is used to switch off the amplifier during periods of audio recording, to prevent the successive approximation waveform from being heard during periods of recording, and to reduce the power consumption and unwanted crackle through the speaker ...

... STV0681 Hardware Interfaces 4.9 Flashgun hardware interface STV0681 will revert to flashgun exposure when it detects GPIO2 is high. Ideally the hardware should combine the two factors of (a) user intention (e.g. user switches on flashgun) and (b) charge sensing (i.e. flash is charged up and ready to fire). These two factors (a) and (b) are independent, since there may be a delay of several seconds between switching on the flashgun charger, and the flashgun being able to fire ...

... EEPROM to store certain information to allow a degree of customization of the device. The STV0681 reports a USB Vendor ID (VID) of 0553(hex) and a Product ID (PID) of 0202 (hex). Alternative values for the VID and PID as well as Manufacturer and Product strings may be stored in an external EEPROM. ...
