GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9945 is a complete analog signal processor for CCD
applications. It features a 40 MHz single-channel architecture
designed to sample and condition the outputs of interlaced and
progressive scan area CCD arrays. The AD9945’s signal chain
consists of a correlated double sampler (CDS), a digitally controlled variable gain amplifier (VGA), a black level clamp, and a
12-bit A/D converter.
The internal registers are programmed through a 3-wire serial digital
interface. Programmable features include gain adjustment, black
level adjustment, input clock polarity, and power-down modes.
The AD9945 operates from a single 3 V power supply, typically dissipates mW, and is packaged in a space-saving
32-lead LFCSP.

*Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause perma-

device at these or any other conditions outside of those indicated in the operational
sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings
for extended periods may affect device reliability.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the
AD9945 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices
subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended
to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
