Thanks Dave!
What a trip down memory lane (pun intended)
I worked for Micron in the Imaging Group until July, when the whole camera / cell phone
market had a meltdown. The imaging group was spun off as a separate company, and we were
to move from Boise Idaho to San Jose. Needles to say, most of us in my group that built
new silicon test probe and DUT cards left. Like sure, are you going to double our salary
to afford to live in San Jose? And leave beautiful Idaho?
Micron Imaging is now Aptina:

You might get to see our last project filming the athletes at the Beijing Olympics. We
built a ultra high resolution imager as a technology demo, Ultra HD resolution, 16x HD, 4k
x 4k resolution. Its also very high framerate, 1K frames per second.
I did the data pipes to stream the video off of the part, 16 750MHz LVDS differential
pairs....

Mr. Dunfield,
In a 2004 posting you indicated that you had a copy of the Micron Technology IS32
OpticRAM data
sheet. Have you ever scanned the document? Would it be possible to obtain a copy?
Your assistance would be appreciated.
Jane Wallis
I have placed the IS32 and Micro D-CAM articals at:
http://www.dunfield.com/pub/index.htm
I will leave them there for a few days - please download asap.

Sounds pretty awesome, but standard HD camera resolution is 1920x1080, so
4Kx4K is only about 8.1x HD resolution.
I did the data pipes to stream the video off of the
part, 16 750MHz LVDS
differential pairs....
Impressive. What kind of hardware would typically be used at the other
end of those pairs (aside from the obvious LVDS receivers)?

Altera Cyclone II FPGAs and component DDR-2 for the image buffer. We could only grab 20
seconds or so at 1K FPS with this setup, but we did drop some water baloons for our demo.
Cool!
