  • a CCD imager circuit;

    a compression engine; and

    a control circuit couples to both the CCD imager circuit and the compression engine,wherein;

    the CCD imager circuit is characterized by an integration time defined by clock pulses from the control circuit;

    the compression engine generates successive frame requests; and

    the control circuit generates the clock pulses to define the integration time based on a time between the successive frame requests.
