CCD Signal Processor with
Precision Timing™ Generator
AD9898
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Correlated Double Sampler (CDS)
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 ns Resolution
On-Chip: 2-Channel Horizontal and
1-Channel RG Drivers
The AD9898 is a highly integrated CCD signal processor for
digital still camera and digital video camera applications. 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 ns resolution at 20 MHz operation.
The AD9898 is specified at pixel rates as high as 20 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: RG, H-clocks, V-clocks, sensor gate
pulses, substrate clock, and substrate bias pulse. Operation is
programmed using a 3-wire serial interface.
2-Phase H-Clock Modes
4-Phase Vertical Transfer Clocks
Electronic and Mechanical Shutter Modes
On-Chip Sync Generator with External Sync Option
Space Saving 48-Lead LFCSP Package
APPLICATIONS
Digital Still Cameras
Digital Video Camcorders
Packaged in a space saving 48-Lead LFCSP, the AD9898 is
specified over an operating temperature range of –20°C to +85°C.
