INTRODUCTION

The Kodak

Digital Science

KAF Series CCD Digital Reference Evaluation Board provides a powerful platform to quickly

and easily implement a Kodak Digital Science Full Frame or Blue Plus Full Frame CCD image sensor in a prototype

imaging system.

The Evaluation Board also serves as a useful reference design that will save considerable time and cost in the

development of a product prototype. The programmable logic architecture, bias supplies, clock drivers and analog signal

processing chain can be readily used, with application specific modifications, in a camera production design.

The Evaluation Board is designed to be flexible, and has the ability to operate many different Kodak Full Frame image

sensors at different operating frequencies. Consult Image Sensor Solutions (ISS) to obtain information for optimizing the

reference design to operate a specific image sensor at a specific operating frequency.

OVERVIEW

The KAF Series Digital Reference Evaluation Board serves as a complete, self-contained, CCD image acquisition sub-

system. The user simply applies power, and an IMAGE_AQUIRE TTL pulse to begin capturing digital images. Differential

TTL frame grabber sync pulses (Frame, Pixel and Line rate) are provided to facilitate easy connection to a frame grabber.

In the still capture mode, application of the IMAGE_ACQUIRE signal results in flushing of the CCD, then integration, then

clocking out of a full frame of image data. In free-run mode, an acquisition signal is not needed; the board is free running

and continuous frames of 12 bit information stream out.
