Note : Component Connections

  1. MCLK_IN: Connected to CAM0_MCLK_0 through buffer for stable clock signal transmission.

  2. RST_R: Linked to RST_0 via buffer for controlled and reliable reset mechanism.

  3. SYNC_R: Connected to CAM0_GPIO1 (XVS0) for synchronization between components.

  4. PWDN_R: Direct connection to PW_EN_0 for effective power state management.
