PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The AD9848 and AD9849 are highly integrated CCD signal pro­cessors for digital still camera applications. Both include a complete
analog front end with A/D conversion, combined with a program­mable timing driver. The Precision Timing core allows adjustment
of high speed clocks with approximately 1 ns resolution.

The AD9848 is specified at pixel rates of 20 MHz, and the
AD9849 is specified at 30 MHz. The analog front end includes
black level clamping, CDS, PxGA, VGA, and a 10- or 12-bit A/D
converter. The timing driver provides the high-speed CCD clock
drivers for RG and H1-H4. Operation is programmed using a
3-wire serial interface.

Packaged in a space-saving 48-lead LQFP, the AD9848 and
AD9849 are specified over an operating temperature range of
–20°C to +85°C.

Figure 1b. Typical Application (External Mode)

Figure 1a and 1b show the typical system application diagrams
for the AD9848/AD9849. The CCD output is processed by the
AD9848/AD9849’s AFE circuitry, which consists of a CDS,
PxGA, VGA, black level clamp, and A/D converter. The digi­tized pixel information is sent to the digital image processor
chip, where all post-processing and compression occurs. To
operate the CCD, CCD timing parameters are programmed
into the AD9848/AD9849 from the image processor, through
the 3-wire serial interface. From the system master clock, CLI,
provided by the image processor, the AD9848/AD9849 gener­ates the high speed CCD clocks and all internal AFE clocks. All
AD9848/AD9849 clocks are synchronized with VD and HD.

Figure 1a shows the AD9848/AD9849 used in Internal mode,
in which all the horizontal pulses (CLPOB, CLPDM, PBLK,
and HBLK) are programmed and generated internally. Figure 1b
shows the AD9848/AD9849 operating in external mode, in
which the horizontal pulses are supplied externally by the
image processor.

The H-drivers for H1–H4 and RG are included in the AD9848/
AD9849, allowing these clocks to be directly connected to the
CCD. H-drive voltage of 5 V is supported in the AD9849.

Figure 2 shows the horizontal and vertical counter dimensions
for the AD9848/AD9849. All internal horizontal clocking is
programmed using these dimensions, to specify line and
pixel locations.

Notes about Accessing a Double-Wide Register

There are many double-wide registers in the AD9848/AD9849, for example: oprmode, clpdmtog1_0, clpdmscp3, etc. These regis­ters are configured into two consecutive 6-bit registers with the least significant six bits located in the lower of the two addresses and
the remaining most significant bits located in the higher of the two addresses. For example, the 6 LSBs of the clpdmscp3 regis­ter, clpdmscp3[5:0], are located at address 0x81. The most significant six bits of the clpdmscp3 register, clpdmscp3[11:6], are
located at address 0x82. The following rules must be followed when accessing double-wide registers:

1. When accessing a double-wide register, BOTH addresses must be written to.

2. The lower of the two consecutive addresses for the double-wide register must be written to first. In the example of the clpdmscp3

register, the contents of address 0x81 must be written first followed by the contents of address 0x82. The register will be updated
after the completion of the write to register 0x82, either at the next SL rising edge or next VD/HD falling edge.

3. A single write to the lower of the two consecutive addresses of a double-wide register that is not followed by a write to the higher

address of the registers, is not permitted. This will not update the register.

4. A single write to the higher of the two consecutive addresses of a double-wide register that is not preceded by a write to the lower

of the two address, is not permitted. Although the write to the higher address will update the full double-wide register, the lower
six bits of the register will be written with an indeterminate value if the lower address was not written first.

PRECISION TIMING HIGH-SPEED TIMING
GENERATION

The AD9848 and AD9849 generate flexible high-speed timing
signals using the Precision Timing core. This core is the founda­tion for generating the timing used for both the CCD and the
AFE; the reset gate RG, horizontal drivers H1–H4, and the
SHP/SHD sample clocks. A unique architecture makes it
routine for the system designer to optimize image quality, by
providing precise control over the horizontal CCD readout
and the AFE correlated double sampling.

Timing Resolution

The Precision Timing core uses a 1X master clock input (CLI) as
a reference. This clock should be the same as the CCD pixel
clock frequency. Figure 4 illustrates how the internal timing core
divides the master clock period into 48 steps or edge positions.
Therefore, the edge resolution of the Precision Timing core is
(t

CLI

/48). For more information on using the CLI input, see the

Application Information section.

High Speed Clock Programmability

Figure 5 shows how the high-speed clocks RG, H1–H4, SHP,
and SHD are generated. The RG pulse has programmable rising
and falling edges, and may be inverted using the polarity control.
The horizontal clocks H1 and H3 have programmable rising and
falling edges, and polarity control. The H2 and H4 clocks are
always inverses of H1 and H3 respectively. Table II summarizes
the high-speed timing registers and their parameters.

The edge location registers are 6 bits wide, but there are only
48 valid edge locations available. Therefore, the register values
are mapped into four quadrants, with each quadrant containing
12 edge locations. Table III shows the correct register values
for the corresponding edge locations. Figure 6 shows the range
and default locations of the high-speed clock signals.

NOTES

1. PIXEL CLOCK PERIOD IS DIVIDED INTO 48 POSITIONS, PROVIDING FINE EDGE RESOLUTION FOR HIGH-SPEED CLOCKS.

2. THERE IS A FIXED DELAY FROM THE CLI INPUT TO THE INTERNAL PIXEL PERIOD POSITIONS (

H-Driver and RG Outputs

In addition to the programmable timing positions, the AD9848/
AD9849 features on-chip output drivers for the RG and H1–H4
outputs. These drivers are powerful enough to directly drive the
CCD inputs. The H-driver current can be adjusted for optimum
rise/fall time into a particular load by using the DRV registers. The
RG drive current is adjustable using the RGDRV register. Each
3-bit DRV register is adjustable in 3.5 mA increments, with the
minimum setting of 0 equal to OFF or three-state, and the maxi­mum setting of 7 equal to 24.5 mA.

As shown in Figure 7, the H2/H4 outputs are inverses of H1/
H3. The internal propagation delay resulting from the signal
inversion is less than l ns, which is significantly less than the
typical rise time driving the CCD load. This results in a H1/H2
crossover voltage at approximately 50% of the output swing.
The crossover voltage is not programmable.

Digital Data Outputs

The AD9848/AD9849 data output phase is programmable
using the DOUTPHASE register. Any edge from 0 to 47 may
be programmed, as shown in Figure 8.

HORIZONTAL CLAMPING AND BLANKING

The AD9848/AD9849’s horizontal clamping and blanking
pulses are fully programmable to suit a variety of applications.
As with the vertical timing generation, individual sequences are
defined for each signal, which are then organized into multiple
regions during image readout. This allows the dark pixel clamp­ing and blanking patterns to be changed at each stage of the
readout, in order to accommodate different image transfer tim­ing and high-speed line shifts.

Individual CLPOB, CLPDM, and PBLK Sequences

The AFE horizontal timing consists of CLPOB, CLPDM, and
PBLK, as shown in Figure 9. These three signals are indepen­dently programmed using the registers in Table IV. SPOL is the
start polarity for the signal, and TOG1 and TOG2 are the first

and second toggle positions of the pulse. All three signals are
active low, and should be programmed accordingly. Up to four
individual sequences can be created for each signal.

Individual HBLK Sequences

The HBLK programmable timing shown in Figure 10 is similar
to CLPOB, CLPDM, PBLK. However, there is not start polar­ity control. Only the toggle positions are used, to designate the
start and the stop positions of the blanking period. Additionally,
there is a polarity control HBLKMASK which designates the
polarity of the horizontal clock signals H1 – H4 during the blank­ing period. Setting HBLKMASK high will set H1 = H3 = low
and H2 = H4 = high during the blanking, as shown in Figure

11. Up to four individual sequences are available for HBLK.

Horizontal Sequence Control

The AD9848/AD9849 uses Sequence Change Positions (SCP)
and Sequence Pointers (SPTR) to organize the individual horizon­tal sequences. Up to four SCPs are available to divide the
readout into four separate regions, as shown in Figure 12.
The SCP 0 is always hard-coded to line 0, and SCP1–3 are regis­ter programmable. During each region bounded by the SCP, the
SPTR registers designate which sequence is used by each signal.

Figure 14. Recommended Power-Up Sequence

Recommended Power-Up Sequence

When the AD9848 and AD9849 are powered up, the following sequence is recommended (refer to Figure 14 for each step).

1. Turn on power supplies for AD9848/AD9849.

2. Apply the master clock input CLI, VD, and HD.

3. The Precision Timing core must be reset by writing a “0” to the TGCORE_RSTB register (addr x026) followed by writing
a “l” to the TGCORE_RSTB register. This will start the internal timing core operation.

4. Write a “1” to the PREVENTUPDATE register (addr x01B). This will prevent the updating of the serial register data.

5. Write to desired registers to configure high speed timing and horizontal timing.

6. Write a “1” to the OUT_CONT register (addr x016). This will allow the outputs to become active after the next VD/HD
rising edge.

7. Write a “0” to the PREVENTUPDATE register (addr x01B). This will allow the serial information to be updated at next
VD/HD falling edge.

8. The next VD/HD falling edge allows register updates to occur, including OUT_CONT, which enables all clock outputs.

ANALOG FRONT END DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

The AD9848/AD9849 signal processing chain is shown in
Figure 15. Each processing step is essential in achieving a high­quality image from the raw CCD pixel data.

DC Restore

To reduce the large dc offset of the CCD output signal, a dc
restore circuit is used with an external 0.1 µF series coupling
capacitor. This restores the dc level of the CCD signal to
approximately 1.5 V, to be compatible with the 3 V analog
supply signal of the AD9848/AD9849.

Correlated Double Sampler

The CDS circuit samples each CCD pixel twice to extract the
video information and reject low-frequency noise. The timing
shown in Figure 6 illustrates how the two internally generated
CDS clocks, SHP and SHD, are used to sample the reference
level and data level of the CCD signal respectively. The place­ment of the SHP and SHD sampling edges is determined by
the setting of the SHPPOSLOC and SHDPOSLOC registers
located at addr. 0xF0 and 0xF1 respectively. Placement of
these two clock signals is critical in achieving the best perfor­mance from the CCD.

Input Clamp

A line-rate input clamping circuit is used to remove the CCD’s
optical black offset. This offset exists in the CCD’s shielded black
reference pixels. The AD9848/AD9849 removes this offset in
the input stage to minimize the effect of a gain change on the
system black level, usually called the “gain step.” Another

advantage of removing this offset at the input stage is to maxi­mize system headroom. Some area CCDs have large black
level offset voltages, which, if not corrected at the input stage,
can significantly reduce the available headroom in the inter­nal circuitry when higher VGA gain settings are used.

Horizontal timing examples are shown on the last page of the
“Applications Information” section. It is recommended that the
CLPDM pulse be used during valid CCD dark pixels. CLPDM
may be used during the optical black pixels, either together with
CLPOB or separately. The CLPDM pulse should be a minimum
of four pixels wide.

PxGA

The PxGA provides separate gain adjustment for the individual
color pixels. A programmable gain amplifier with four separate
values, the PxGA has the capability to “multiplex” its gain value
on a pixel-to-pixel basis (see Figure 17). This allows lower out­put color pixels to be gained up to match higher output color
pixels. Also, the PxGA may be used to adjust the colors for
white balance, reducing the amount of digital processing that is
needed. The four different gain values are switched according to
the “Color Steering” circuitry. Seven different color steering
modes for different types of CCD color filter arrays are pro­grammed in the AD9848/AD9849 AFE Register, ctlmode, at
addr. 0x06 (see Figure 16a–16g for timing examples). For
example, Mosaic Separate steering mode accommodates the
popular “Bayer” arrangement of Red, Green, and Blue filters
(see Figure 18).

The same Bayer pattern can also be interlaced, and the VD
selected mode should be used with this type of CCD (see
Figure 18b). The Color Steering performs the proper multi­plexing of the R, G, and B gain values (loaded into the PxGA
gain registers), and is synchronized by the user with vertical
(VD) and horizontal (HD) sync pulses. For more detailed
information, see the PxGA Timing section. The PxGA gain
for each of the four channels is variable from –2 dB to +10 dB,
controlled in 64 steps through the serial interface. The PxGA
gain curve is shown in Figure 19.

Figure 19. PxGA Gain Curve

Variable Gain Amplifier

The VGA stage provides a gain range of 2 dB to 36 dB, pro­grammable with 10-bit resolution through the serial digital
interface. Combined with 4 dB from the PxGA stage, the total
gain range for the AD9848/AD9849 is 6 dB to 40 dB. The
minimum gain of 6 dB is needed to match a 1 V input signal
with the ADC full-scale range of 2 V. When compared to 1 V
full-scale systems (such as ADI’s AD9803), the equivalent gain
range is 0 dB to 34 dB.

The VGA gain curve is divided into two separate regions. When
the VGA Gain Register code is between 0 and 511, the curve
follows a (1 + x)/(1 – x) shape, which is similar to a “linear-in-dB”
characteristic. From code 512 to code 1023, the curve follows a
“linear-in-dB” shape. The exact VGA gain can be calculated for
any Gain Register value by using the following two equations:

Code Range Gain Equation (dB)

0 – 511 Gain = 20 log

Optical Black Clamp

The optical black clamp loop is used to remove residual offsets in
the signal chain and to track low-frequency variations in the CCD’s
black level. During the optical black (shielded) pixel interval on
each line, the ADC output is compared with a fixed black level
reference, selected by the user in the Clamp Level Register. The
value can be programmed between 0 LSB and 63.75 LSB on the
AD9848, and between 0 LSB and 255 LSB on the AD9849. The
clamp level can be programmed with 8-bit resolution. The result­ing error signal is filtered to reduce noise, and the correction value
is applied to the ADC input through a D/A converter. Normally,
the optical black clamp loop is turned on once per horizontal line,
but this loop can be updated more slowly to suit a particular
application. If external digital clamping is used during the post
processing, the AD9848/AD9849 optical black clamping may be
disabled using Bit D2 in the OPRMODE Register. When the loop
is disabled, the Clamp Level Register may still be used to provide
programmable offset adjustment.

The CLPOB pulse should be placed during the CCD’s optical
black pixels. It is recommended that the CLPOB pulse duration
be at least 20 pixels wide to minimize clamp noise. Shorter pulse­widths may be used, but clamp noise may increase, and the ability
to track low-frequency variations in the black level will be reduced.
See the section on Horizontal Clamping and Blanking and also
the Applications Information section for timing examples.

A/D Converter

The AD9848/AD9849 uses high-performance 10-bit/12-bit
ADC architecture, optimized for high speed and low power.
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL) performance is typically better
than 0.5 LSB. The ADC uses a 2 V input range. Better noise
performance results from using a larger ADC full-scale range.
See TPC 1–TPC 4 for typical linearity and noise performance
plots for the AD9848/AD9849.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
External Circuit Configuration

The AD9848/AD9849 recommended circuit configuration for
External Mode is shown in Figure 21. All signals should be
carefully routed on the PCB to maintain low noise performance.
The CCD output signal should be connected to Pin 29 through
a 0.1 µF capacitor. The CCD timing signals H1–H4 and RG
should be routed directly to the CCD with minimum trace
lengths, as shown in Figures 22a and 22b. The digital outputs
and clock inputs are located on Pins 1–12 and Pins 36–48,
and should be connected to the digital ASIC, away from the
analog and CCD clock signals. The CLI signal from the ASIC
may be routed under the package to Pin 23. This will help separate
the CLI signal from the H1–H4 and RG signal routing.

Grounding and Decoupling Recommendations

As shown in Figure 21, a single ground plane is recommended
for the AD9848/AD9849. This ground plane should be as
continuous as possible, particularly around Pins 25 through 35.
This will ensure that all analog decoupling capacitors provide
the lowest possible impedance path between the power and
bypass pins and their respective ground pins. All decoupling
capacitors should be located as close as possible to the package
pins. Placing series resistors close to the digital output pins
(Pins 1–12, 47–48) may help reduce digital code transition
noise. If the digital outputs must drive a load larger than 20 pF,
buffering is recommended to minimize additional noise.

Power supply decoupling is very important in achieving low
noise performance. Figure 21 shows the local high frequency
decoupling capacitors, but additional capacitance is recom­mended for lower frequencies. Additional capacitors and ferrite
beads can further reduce noise.

Driving the CLI Input

The AD9848/AD9849’s master clock input (CLI) may be
used in two different configurations, depending on the appli­cation. Figure 23a shows a typical dc-coupled input from the
master clock source. When the dc-coupled technique is used,
the master clock signal should be at standard 3 V CMOS
logic levels. As shown in Figure 23b, a 1000 pF ac-coupling
capacitor may be used between the clock source and the CLI
input. In this configuration, the CLI input will self-bias to
the proper dc voltage level of approximately 1.4 V. When the
ac-coupled technique is used, the master clock signal can be
as low as ± 500 mV in amplitude.
