TM-250 Miniature CCD Camera
5.2.3 Pulse Width Asynchronous Shutter Mode
Pulse Width Mode Async Shutter enables exposure time to be controlled by the duration of VINIT. The
camera operates in the same way as it does Fast Mode Async Shutter or Pulse Width Mode Integration.
Unlike Pulse Width Mode Integration, the single pulse of discharge occurs only when the falling edge of
VINIT pulse is detected. The rising edge of VINIT resets camera, and photo-charge is transferred
simultaneously at the 1st line so only odd field image is valid. SYNC signal is continuous when F2
switch is up (ON). SYNC is available only in the one field right after VINIT when F2 is down (OFF).

5.2.4 Pre-Reset Asynchronous Shutter Mode
The purpose of this mode of operation is to maintain compatibility with the TM-7/6 and the TM-200/
300 series cameras. This shutter operation enables image capture at extremely high speeds with very
short exposure times and image output with a minimum of delay. In contrast with Post-Reset Mode, the
falling edge of the VINIT pulse first resets internal counter logic to the beginning of the odd field. The
discharge of photo-charge occurs at a predefined period later after the reset, then the transfer pulse
occurs at the 11th line for the TM-250, and the 16th line for the TM-260. For this reason, the exposure
