Maximum temporal resolution of the PPS3MVCD sensor

Maximum temporal resolution of the PPS3MVCD sensor

The datasheet the PPS3MVCD sensor states that the pixel latency is nominally 100μs. According to support, this latency is due to the processing that occurs on the chip and the speed of transfer supported by the USB interface. The pixel delay is nominally 1μs. For my paper, I need to determine at what point in the process the events are timestamped.

Specifically:

  • If events are timestamped the moment the pixel is read by the arbitrator, the latency introduced by the processing and USB transfer does not affect the timestamp accuracy. Therefore, I can claim a temporal resolution of 1μs.
  • If events are timestamped after the processing, a 100μs temporal delay is introduced, and the temporal accuracy cannot be better than 100μs.

Can you confirm at what stage in the process the events are timestamped? This information is crucial for accurately reporting the temporal resolution of in my paper.
