Abstract:
A method of operating an image pickup system includes generating a first control signal in response to a long duration exposure mode selectively input by a user, setting circuits to process image data associated with modes other than long duration exposure mode to a standby mode in response to the first control signal, generating a second control signal when the standby mode has been established, opening a shutter in response to the second control signal, and performing a long duration exposure to accumulate a charge corresponding to an optical signal incident on an image sensor of the image pickup system when the shutter is open.
Abstract:
Provided are an application processor and a semiconductor system including the same. The semiconductor system includes the application processor, which may include a first register value and of which an operation is controlled by the first register value. The semiconductor system also includes a semiconductor device, which may include a second register value and of which an operation is controlled by the second register value, and a memory storing a third register value that is a copy of the first register value and a fourth register value that is a copy of the second register value. If the stored third register value is changed, the changed third register value is mapped onto the first register value of the processor, and if the fourth register value is changed, the changed fourth register value is mapped onto the second register value.
