The same Bayer pattern can also be interlaced, and the VD
selected mode should be used with this type of CCD (see
Figure 27). The color steering performs the proper multiplexing
of the R, G, and B gain values (loaded into the PxGA
gain regis-
ters) and is synchronized by the user with vertical (VD) and
horizontal (HD) sync pulses. For more detailed information, see
the PxGA
Timing section. The PxGA
gain for each of the four
channels is variable from –2.5 dB to +9.5 dB, controlled in 64
steps through the serial interface. The PxGA
gain curve is
shown in Figure 28.

Variable Gain Amplifier
The VGA stage provides a gain range of 2 dB to 36 dB, program-
mable with 10-bit resolution through the serial digital interface.
Combined with approximately 4 dB from the PxGA
stage, the
total gain range for the AD9845B is 6 dB to 40 dB. The mini-
mum gain of 6 dB is needed to match a 1 V input signal with
the ADC full-scale range of 2 V. When compared to 1 V full-
scale systems (such as ADI’s AD9803), the equivalent gain
range is 0 dB to 34 dB.
The VGA gain curve follows a “linear-in-dB” shape. The exact
VGA gain can be calculated for any gain register value by using
the following equation:
Code Range Gain Equation (dB)
0–1023 Gain = (0.0353)(Code)
As shown in the CCD Mode Specifications, only the VGA gain
range from 2 dB to 36 dB has tested and guaranteed accuracy.
This corresponds to a VGA gain code range of 77 to 1023. The
Gain Accuracy Specifications also include a PxGA
gain of approxi-
mately 3.3 dB, for a total gain range of 6 dB to 40 dB.

Optical Black Clamp
The optical black clamp loop is used to remove residual offsets
in the signal chain and to track low frequency variations in the
CCD’s black level. During the optical black (shielded) pixel
interval on each line, the ADC output is compared with a fixed
black level reference selected by the user in the clamp level
register. The clamp level is adjustable from 0 to 255 LSB, in
256 steps. The resulting error signal is filtered to reduce noise,
and the correction value is applied to the ADC input through a
D/A converter. Normally, the optical black clamp loop is turned
on once per horizontal line, but this loop can be updated more
slowly to suit a particular application. If external digital clamping
is used during the postprocessing, the AD9845B optical black
clamping may be disabled using Bit D5 in the Operation Register
(see the Serial Interface Timing and Internal Register Descrip-
tion section). When the loop is disabled, the clamp level register
may still be used to provide programmable offset adjustment.
Horizontal timing is shown in Figure 6. The CLPOB pulse
should be placed during the CCD’s optical black pixels. It is
recommended that the CLPOB pulse duration be at least
20 pixels wide to minimize clamp noise. Shorter pulsewidths may

low frequency variations in the black level will be reduced.
A/D Converter
The AD9845B uses high performance ADC architecture, opti-
mized for high speed and low power. Differential nonlinearity
(DNL) performance is typically better than 0.5 LSB, as shown in
TPC 2. Instead of the 1 V full-scale range used by the earlier
AD9801 and AD9803 products from Analog Devices, the
AD9845B’s ADC uses a 2 V input range. Better noise perfor-
mance results from using a larger ADC full-scale range
(see TPC 3).
AUX1 Mode
For applications that do not require CDS, the AD9845B can be
configured to sample ac-coupled waveforms. Figure 30 shows
the circuit configuration for using the AUX1 channel input
(Pin 36). A single 0.1 mF ac-coupling capacitor is needed between
the input signal driver and the AUX1IN pin. An on-chip dc bias
circuit sets the average value of the input signal to approximately
0.4 V, which is referenced to the midscale code of the ADC.
The VGA gain register provides a gain range
of 0 dB to 36 dB in
this mode of operation (see Figure 29). The VGA gains up the
signal level with respect to the 0.4 V bias level. Signal levels
above the bias level will be further increased to a higher ADC
code, while signal levels below the bias level will be further
decreased to a lower ADC code.
AUX2 Mode
For sampling video-type waveforms, such as NTSC and PAL
signals, the AUX2 channel provides black level clamping, gain
adjustment, and A/D conversion. Figure 31 shows the circuit
configuration for using the AUX2 channel input (Pin 34). An
external 0.1 mF blocking capacitor is used with the on-chip video
clamp circuit to level shift the input signal to a desired refer-
ence level. The clamp circuit automatically senses the most
negative portion of the input signal and adjusts the voltage
across the input capacitor. This forces the black level of the
input signal to be equal to the value programmed into the clamp
level register (see the Serial Interface Timing and Internal Register
Description section). The VGA provides gain adjustment from
0 dB to 18 dB. The same VGA gain register is used, but only
the 9 MSBs of the gain register are used (see Table VII.)

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The AD9845B is a complete analog front end (AFE) product
for digital still camera and camcorder applications. As shown in
Figure 32, the CCD image (pixel) data is buffered and sent to
the AD9845B analog input through a series input capacitor.
The AD9845B performs the dc restoration, CDS, gain adjust-
ment, black level correction, and analog-to-digital conversion.
The AD9845B’s digital output data is then processed by the
image processing ASIC. The internal registers of the
AD9845B—used to control gain, offset level, and other
functions—are programmed by the ASIC or microprocessor
through a 3-wire serial digital interface. A system timing
generator provides the clock signals for both the CCD and
the AFE.
