Camera Bus Timings

The non-decode engine outputs pixel data via an 8-bit parallel data bus. The rate at which data is output is determined by the pixel clock, which can be set for 48, 24, or 12 MHz. When the horizontal and vertical synch signals are high, valid pixel data is latched on the rising edge of the PCLK. New pixel data is then driven on to the bus on the falling edge. The VSYNC, HSYNC, and Pixel Data timings are relative to the PCLK and are related as shown in the following timing diagram.
