GENERALDESCRIPTION
The XRD9855/XRD9856 are complete CCD Image
Digitizers for digital cameras. The products include a
highbandwidthdifferentialCorrelatedDoubleSampler
(CDS), 8-bit digitally Programmable Gain Amplifier
(PGA), 10-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) and
digital controlled black level auto-calibration circuitry.
The PGA is digitally controlled with 8-bit resolution on
a linear dB scale, resulting in a gain range of 6dB to
38dB with 0.125dB per LSB of the gain code.
ThePGAandblacklevelauto-calibrationarecontrolled
through a simple 3-wire serial interface. The timing
circuitry is designed to enable users to select a wide
variety of available CCD and image sensors for their
applications.
TheCorrelatedDoubleSampler(CDS)subtractsthe
CCD output signal black level from the video level.
