12-Bit CCD Signal Processor with
Precision TimingTM Generator
AD9994
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
10-phase or 12-phase vertical transfer clocking
Supports 4-field and 5-field CCD readout
Correlated double sampler (CDS)
6 dB to 42 dB 10-bit variable gain amplifier (VGA)
12-bit 36 MHz A/D converter
The AD9994 is a highly integrated CCD signal processor for
digital still camera applications. It includes a complete analog
front end with A/D conversion, combined with a full-function
programmable timing generator. The timing generator is capable
of up to 12-phase vertical clocking to support advanced CCDs
with 4-field and 5-field readout. A Precision Timing core allows
adjustment of high speed clocks with approximately 600 ps
resolution at 36 MHz operation.
Black level clamp with variable level control
Complete on-chip timing generator
Precision Timing core with < 600 ps resolution
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 AD9994 is specified at pixel rates of up to 36 MHz. The
analog front end includes black level clamping, CDS, VGA, and
a 12-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 control. Operation is
programmed using a 3-wire serial interface.
On-chip sync generator with external sync input
64-lead LFCSP package (9 mm × 9 mm, 0.5 mm pitch)
APPLICATION
Digital still cameras
Packaged in a 64-lead LFCSP, the AD9994 is specified over an
operating temperature range of –25°C to +85°C.
