LM98501
10-Bit, 27 MSPS Camera Signal Processor
General Description
The LM98501 is a CCD signal processor for electronic cam-
eras. The processor provides a common interface to a num-

white-balancing. An auxiliary input is provided, allowing for
the selection of an external signal, useful for electronic titling
and video overlay. The 10-bit A/D converter preserves the
image quality with excellent noise performance. The
LM98501 also includes the supporting functions of digital
black level clamp and power down, ideally suited for portable
video applications. This low-power processor is a natural
choice for the most demanding imaging systems.
