The picture below illustrates the basic design of the device. Commands initially flow from the host computer to the control unit (CPLD), where it determines to either send commands to the I2C processor or the Memory (SRAM). The I2C processor converts parallel data into serial data that the CMOS imager can understand. Once an image is captured, it is temporarily held in the SRAM until the computer is ready to receive it. This is done so that the device can take subsequent pictures without waiting for the computer to process the previous one.
