In this market low cost, ease of product integration, low module height, and low light image quality are important features. The SoC simplifies integration of the sensor into the final product by providing camera functions such as: automatic exposure control, automatic white balance, flicker detection and avoidance, etc. This reduces cost and saves power since no companion chip is required, and the internal image-processing data rate of the SoC is higher than the output data rate [1], which keeps the interchip communication data rate as low as possible. The small optical
