AD9994
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9994 is a highly integrated CCD signal processor for
digital still camera applications. It includes a complete analog
front end with analog-to-digital conversion, combined with a
fully programmable timing generator. The timing generator is
capable of up to 12-phase vertical clocking to support advanced
CCDs with 4-field and 5-field readouts. A Precision Timing core
allows adjustment of high speed clocks with approximately
600 ps resolution at 36 MHz operation.
The AD9994 is specified at pixel rates of up to 36 MHz. The
analog front end includes black-level clamping, CDS, VGA, and
a 12-bit ADC. The timing generator provides the necessary CCD
clocks: RG, H-clocks, V-clocks, sensor gate pulses, substrate clock,
and substrate bias control. Operation is programmed using a
3-wire serial interface.
Packaged in a 64-lead LFCSP, the AD9994 is specified over an
operating temperature range of –25°C to +85°C.
