GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9941 is a complete analog signal processor for imaging
applications that do not require correlated double sampling
(CDS). It is also suitable for processing the output signal from
the AD9940 CDS front end product. It features a 56 MHz, single-
channel architecture designed to sample and condition the output
of CMOS imagers and CCD arrays already containing on-chip
CDS. The AD9941 signal chain consists of a differential input
sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA), a digitally controlled variable
gain amplifier (VGA), a black level clamp, and a 14-bit ADC.
The internal registers are programmed through a 3-wire serial
digital interface.
The AD9941 operates from a single 3 V supply, typically
dissipates 145 mW, and is packaged in a 48-lead LQFP.
