FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
12 MSPS Correlated Double Sampler (CDS)
10-Bit 12 MHz A/D Converter
No Missing Codes Guaranteed
6 dB to 40 dB Variable Gain Amplifier (VGA)
Black Level Clamp with Variable Level Control
Complete On-Chip Timing Generator
Precision Timing Core with 1.7 ns Resolution
On-Chip: 6-Channel Horizontal and 1-Channel RS Drivers
4-Phase Vertical Transfer Clocks
The AD9937 is a highly integrated CCD signal processor. It
includes a complete analog front end with A/D conversion,
combined with a full-function programmable timing generator.
A Precision Timing core allows adjustment of high speed clocks
with 1.7 ns resolution at 12 MHz operation.
The AD9937 is specified at pixel rates of up to 12 MHz. The
analog front end includes black level clamping, CDS, VGA, and
a 10-bit A/D converter. The timing generator provides all the
necessary CCD clocks: RS, H-clocks, V-clocks, sensor gate pulses,
and substrate charge reset pulse. Operation is programmed using a
3-wire serial interface.
Electronic and Mechanical Shutter Modes
On-Chip Sync Generator with External Sync Option
