GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9920A is a highly integrated charge-coupled device (CCD)
signal processor for digital still camera applications. It includes a
complete analog front end (AFE) with analog-to-digital conversion,
combined with a full-function programmable timing generator
and 19-channel vertical driver (V-driver). The timing generator
is capable of supporting up to 24 vertical clock signals to control
advanced CCDs. The on-chip V-driver supports up to 19 channels
for use with six-field CCDs. A Precision Timin core allows adjust-
ment of high speed clocks with approximately 400 ps resolution
at 40.5 MHz operation. The AD9920A also contains six GPOs
that can be used for shutter and system functions.
The analog front end includes black level clamping, variable
gain CDS, and a 12-bit ADC. The timing generator provides all
the necessary CCD clocks: RG, H-clocks, V-clocks, sensor gate
pulses, substrate clock, and substrate bias control.
The AD9920A is specified over an operating temperature range
of −25°C to +85°C.
