CCD Signal Processor with V-Driver and
Precision Timing™ Generator
AD9923A
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Integrated 15-channel V-driver
12-bit, 36 MHz analog-to-digital converter (ADC)
Similar register map to the AD9923
5-field, 10-phase vertical clock support
Complete on-chip timing generator
Precision Timing core with <600 ps resolution
Correlated double sampler (CDS)
The AD9923A is a complete 36 MHz front-end solution for
digital still cameras and other CCD imaging applications.
Similar to the AD9923 product, the AD9923A includes the
analog front end (AFE), a fully programmable timing generator
(TG), and a 15-channel vertical driver (V-driver). A Precision
Timing core allows adjustment of high speed clocks with
approximately 600 ps resolution at 36 MHz operation.
6 dB to 42 dB 10-bit variable gain amplifier (VGA)
Black level clamp with variable level control
On-chip 3 V horizontal and RG drivers
2-phase and 4-phase H-clock modes
Electronic and mechanical shutter support
On-chip driver for external crystal
The on-chip V-driver supports up to 15 channels for use with
5-field, 10-phase CCDs.
The analog front end includes black level clamping, CDS, VGA,
and a 12-bit ADC. The timing generator and V-driver provide
all the necessary CCD clocks: RG, H-clocks, vertical clocks, sensor
gate pulses, substrate clock, and substrate bias control. The
internal registers are programmed using a 3-wire serial
interface.
On-chip sync generator with external sync input
8 mm × 8 mm CSP_BGA package with 0.65 mm pitch
APPLICATIONS
Digital still cameras
Packaged in an 8 mm × 8 mm CSP_BGA, the AD9923A is
specified over an operating temperature range of −25°C to +85°C.
