AD9925

The AD9925 is a complete 36 MHz front end solution for digi-tal still camera and other CCD imaging applications. Based on the AD9995 product, the AD9925 includes the analog front end and a fully programmable timing generator (AFETG), combined with a 10-channel vertical driver (V-driver). A Precision Timing core allows adjustment of high speed clocks with approximately 600 ps resolution at 36 MHz operation.

The on-chip V-driver supports up to 10 channels for use with 3-field (6-phase) CCDs. Two additional vertical outputs can be used with CCDs that contain advanced video readout modes. Voltage levels of up to +15 V and −8 V are supported.

The analog front end includes black level clamping, CDS, VGA, and a 12-bit ADC. The timing generator and V-driver provide all the necessary CCD clocks: RG, H-clocks, vertical clocks, sensor gate pulses, substrate clock, and substrate bias control. The internal registers are programmed using a 3-wire serial interface.

Packaged in an 8 mm × 8 mm CSPBGA, the AD9925 is speci-fied over an operating temperature range of −25°C to +85°C.
