8.20.1 Camera Power
There are three main power sources required by the camera module. Each of these are
described in the following sections.
8.20.1.1 CAM_ANA Power
The DC input can be either 5V or 3.3V. It is selected by installing either R151 or R154.
The default is set at 3.3V and is controlled by turning on and off the USB HUB power
rail at U16. The power is controlled by setting the LEDA signal on the TPS65950.
Access to this register is via the I2C2 interface on the processor.
The 5V is on whenever a power source is applied o the board.
8.20.1.2 CAM_DIGITAL Power
The digital power is a 1.8V rail that is supplied by the TPS65950. The power is
controlled via the I2C1 interface from the processor by setting the VAUX4 regulator to
1.8V. This is used for the internal logic in the camera module.
8.20.1.3 CAM_IO Power
The I/O power is a 1.8V rail that is supplied by the TPS65950. The power is controlled
via the I2C1 interface from the processor by setting the VAUX3 regulator to 1.8V. This
will set the level of all of the interface signals to the processor.
8.20.2 Camera I2C Port
The processor uses the I2C2 port to communicate to the camera module to set the
registers in the device. There are no pullups on the board for the I2C to prevent conflict
with add on boards that do have the pullups. If an add-on board is not used, the SW will
need to enable the internal pullups on the I2C2 signals in order for the interface to work.
8.20.3 Processor Camera Port Interface
Table 19 shows the signals that are the interface between the processor and the camera
modules. The I/O status of each pin is defined from the perspective of the processor.
The cam_wen signal is labeled as CMOS_OE on the schematic. All of the current
camera modules do not use this signal and this signal has no affect on the operation of the
camera modules. It is provided for future use.
