The AD9978A is a highly integrated, dual-channel, charge-coupled device (CCD) signal processor for high speed digital video camera applications. Each channel is specified at pixel rates of up to 75 MHz and consists of a complete analog front end (AFE) with ADC conversion. The Precision Timing™ core allows adjustment of the correlated double sampler (CDS) and sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA) clocks with 210 ps resolution at 75 MHz operation. The AD9978A also contains a reduced range low voltage differential signaling (LVDS) interface for the dual-channel data outputs.

Each analog front end includes black level clamping, a CDS, a VGA, and a 75 MHz, 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Operation is programmed using a 3-wire serial interface.

Packaged in a space-saving, 6 mm × 6 mm, 40-lead LFCSP, the AD9978A is specified over an operating temperature range of −25°C to +85°C.
