LM9801 8-Bit Greyscale/24-Bit Color Linear
CCD Sensor Processor
General Description
Features
Y
2.5 Million pixels/s conversion rate
The LM9801 is a high performance integrated signal proc-
essor/digitizer for linear CCD image scanners. The LM9801
performs all the analog processing (correlated double sam-
pling for black level and offset compensation, pixel-by-pixel
gain (shading) correction, and 8-bit analog-to-digital conver-
sion) necessary to maximize the performance of a wide
range of linear CCD sensors.
Y
Pixel-rate shading correction for individual pixels maxi-
mizes dynamic range and resolution, even on ‘‘weak’’
pixels

Y
Implements Correlated Double Sampling for minimum
noise and offset error
Reference and signal sampling points digitally con-
trolled in 25 ns increments for maximum performance
Generates all necessary CCD clock signals
Compatible with a wide range of linear CCDs
Supports some Contact Image Sensors (CIS)
TTL/CMOS input/output compatible
The LM9801 can be digitally programmed to work with a
wide variety of CCDs from different manufacturers. An inter-
nal configuration register sets CCD and sampling timing to
maximize performance, simplifying the design and manufac-
turing processes.

The LM9801 can be used with parallel output color CCDs. A
signal inversion mode eases use with CIS sensors. For com-
plementary voltage reference see the LM4041.
