MAX1101
_______________General Description
The MAX1101 is a highly integrated IC designed primarily for digitizing the output of a linear CCD array. It
provides the components required for all necessary
analog functions, including clamp circuitry for blacklevel correction or correlated double sampling (CDS), a
three-input multiplexer (mux), and an 8-bit analog-todigital converter (ADC).
The MAX1101 operates with a sample rate up to 1MHz
and with a wide range of linear CCDs. The logic interface is serial, and a single input sets the bidirectional
data line as either data in or data out, thus minimizing
the I/O pins required for communication.
Packaged in a 24-pin SO, the MAX1101 is available in
the commercial (0°C to +70°C) temperature range.

MODE
The MAX1101 directly processes the pixel stream from
a monochrome CCD, and removes black level, offset,
and noise errors through an internal clamp circuit,
which can be used as a correlated double sampler
(CDS). It uses a 6-bit, programmable-gain amplifier
(PGA) to adjust gain. A three-input multiplexer (mux)
selects either the PGA output or two unassigned inputs
(AIN1, AIN2). The processed analog signal is digitized
by an 8-bit, half-flash analog-to-digital converter (ADC),
and output serially through the DATA pin.
Digital data is input and output through the bidirectional
serial pin (DATA) synchronously with the external serial
clock (SCLK). When MODE = 0, the mux channels and
the PGA gain can be programmed via DATA. With MODE
= 1 (high), ADC serial data is output through this pin.

Figure 2. PGA Functional Diagram
Programmable-Gain Amplifier
The PGA amplifies the differential video signal from the
CCD (at CCDIN). Gain is settable with the 6-bit control word from -2 to -10 in 64 steps, in increments of
-0.125. The PGA also provides for periodic DC restoration of the capacitively coupled input.
As shown in Figure 2, the switched-capacitor amplifier’s
gain is set by the ratio CI/CF. The input is sampled on
the CI capacitors, which is a set of equal capacitors.
The 6-bit gain control word determines the number
of capacitors used. Thus the PGA gain is set from
-2 to -10.
A voltage equal to VREF- is applied to the PGA’s noninverting input. This offsets the PGA output to be within
the range of the ADC (VREF- to VREF+).
Clamp Circuit
As shown in Figure 2, the CCD output is connected to
the MAX1101 input (CCDIN) through an external
capacitor, which removes the potentially large DC
common-mode voltages from the input signal.
Whenever CLAMP is high, the CLAMP switch is closed
and C EXT is charged to V REF+ . It can be actuated
either once per pixel (sampling reset level) or less frequently (such as for restoring optical black level once
per line), as required by the application.
VIDSAMP controls the sampling of the video signal
and offset nulling of the PGA. To null out the offset,
VIDSAMP causes switches S1 and S1P to close, placing the amplifier in a unity-gain configuration, as shown
in Figure 3a. This configuration causes the amplifier’s
offset voltage to be stored on CF. In the next portion of
the cycle, when VIDSAMP returns low, the S1 switches
are opened and S2 is closed (Figure 3b). This is the
standard inverting op-amp configuration. The only difference is that capacitors are used to set the gain, and
the amplifier’s offset voltage has been stored on these
capacitors and is thus canceled. The amplifier’s output
is [CF/CI] x VVIDEO + VREF-. The CDS function is shown
in Figure 4.
ADC
The ADC uses a recycling half-flash conversion technique in which a 4-bit flash ADC section achieves an
8-bit result in two steps (Figure 5). Using 15 comparators, the flash ADC compares the unknown input
voltage to the reference ladder (using REF+ and REF-)
and provides the upper four data bits.
An internal digital-to-analog converter (DAC) uses the
four most significant bits (MSBs) to generate the analog
result from the first flash conversion and a residue voltage that is the difference between the unknown voltage

The optimum input range is +0.5V to +3.0V. Figure 6

REF-, REFBIAS, and REFGND. If 5.00V is applied to
REFBIAS while REFGND is grounded, then 3.00V and
0.50V are generated at REF+ and REF-, respectively.
For increased accuracy or power-supply immunity,
REF+ can be connected to an external +3.00V reference. If this is done, the accuracy must be better than
±5%. REFBIAS should be left open in this case.
Multiplexer
The mux selects either the output of the PGA or one of
two other inputs to the ADC. The mux switching is
break-before-make to prevent transient shorts between
channels. The first two bits of the input control byte
select the mux input channel (Table 1).

Serial-Interface Logic
The serial interface inputs and outputs data in 8-bit
words. The interface is controlled by four signals:
MODE, LOAD, DATA, and SCLK.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Single-Chip, 8-Bit CCD Digitizer
with Clamp and 6-Bit PGA
Data Output
Data is clocked in and out of the device with the rising
edge of SCLK. The first bit (the MSB, D7) immediately
follows the falling edge of VIDSAMP (Figures 7 and 8).
The first rising edge of SCLK clocks out the next bit,
D6. Data is loaded into the shift register at the falling
edge of VIDSAMP. Following the output of D0, DATA
output is unspecified for additional SCLK pulses.
Eight-bit-wide storage and output registers hold data
from the ADC and delay the data output. The timing diagram in Figure 9 shows the data latency of two
VIDSAMP cycles. New data is available after the second
falling edge of VIDSAMP.
LOAD
LOAD is normally low and used only when MODE = 0.
Once all eight bits have been clocked in, bring LOAD
high to update the MAX1101 registers.
DATA
DATA is a bidirectional I/O pin. MODE controls the
direction of data transfer. When MODE = 1, DATA is
configured as an output from the shift register. Data is
clocked out of the shift register by SCLK’s rising edge.
When MODE = 0, DATA is configured as an input to the
shift register, shifted in by the rising edge of SCLK. In
this mode, the DATA output driver is disabled, putting
DATA into a high-impedance state and allowing it to be
driven externally.
Data Input
During data input, the first two bits (A0, A1) are the
address, selecting either the mux or PGA. The next six
bits set the input channel or PGA gain (Table 1).
CLAMP and VIDSAMP
The last two digital inputs are VIDSAMP and CLAMP.
VIDSAMP controls the overall cycle timing, with one
VIDSAMP cycle corresponding to one CCD pixel. The
input is sampled into the ADC by the falling edge of
VIDSAMP. CLAMP controls the black sample switch,
which sets a reference DC voltage level (VREF+) at the
capacitively coupled CCDIN input. The sample switch
is on when CLAMP is high.
REFBIAS

Control and Interface Logic
The control and interface logic consists of a serial I/O
port, which shifts data into and out of the MAX1101, and
two registers for storing the mux channel and the PGA
gain data.

MAX1101
MODE
MODE controls the direction of data transfer. When
MODE = 0, data is being shifted into the MAX1101 at
the DATA pin either for the mux or the PGA. When
MODE = 1, the ADC output is shifted out from the
MAX1101 at the DATA pin. Data is shifted in and out of
the MAX1101 at the rising edge of SCLK.

LOAD controls the loading of data into the internal storage registers during data input. Once all eight input bits
have been clocked into the shift register, a rising edge on
LOAD clocks the data into the appropriate storage register (mux or PGA), decoded from the first two input bits.
The logic is divided into four blocks: the two storage registers, the serial I/O port, and a power-on reset generator. The registers are reset by the power-on reset to
place them in a predictable state (input channel = CCD,
PGA gain = -2) on power-up. The power-on reset typically has a 2.1µs pulse width.
The serial I/O port consists of a shift register, an 8-bit
storage register, decode logic to clock input data into
the appropriate storage register, and an output driver.
The 8-bit storage register takes input data from the
ADC.
8
Input Buffers and Output Drivers
The DATA driver is capable of driving 50pF load capacitance while meeting the output delay specifications
given in the Electrical Characteristics. The gates of the Pchannel and N-channel drivers are driven separately. If
MODE is low, both drivers are off and the output is high
impedance.
The VIDSAMP, CLAMP, SCLK, and LOAD inputs are
buffered and have hysteresis to reject noise with slowslewing signal edges.

Input/Output Transfer Function
CCD Input
Figure 11 shows the MAX1101 transfer function for
CCDIN. Coding is binary, with a -4LSB offset added to
ensure that offsets within the MAX1101, which can be
positive or negative, do not cause the ADC to be out of
range. Full-scale input range at CCDIN is:
(VREF+ - VREF-) / GPGA
where G PGA is the gain of the programmable gain
amplifier.
Analog Inputs (AIN_)
The transfer function for auxiliary inputs is shown in
Figure 11. Again, coding is binary and full-scale range
is VREF- to VREF+. An offset has not been added to
these channels; however, code transitions occur at the
1/2LSB point, as shown in Figure 12.
Implementing Correlated
Double Sampling (CDS) or
Black-Level Compensation
The CLAMP circuit in the MAX1101 can be used to either
accomplish CDS or to compensate for the CCD black
level. To accomplish CDS, CLAMP is activated once per
_______________________________________________________________________________________
9
MAX1101
Single-Chip, 8-Bit CCD Digitizer
with Clamp and 6-Bit PGA
pixel during the CCD output waveform’s reset phase. To
compensate for the CCD black level, CLAMP is activated
during the black-pixel portion of the linear array, as
shown in Figure 10. Each of these modes requires a different value of CEXT, as described in the following section.
Choosing CEXT for CDS
In CDS applications, CEXT = 4nF. This value is the best
compromise to minimize errors due to the CLAMP switch
resistance/CEXT time constant and switch charge injection. The following equation represents the error due to
incomplete charging of CEXT during integration time:
ε = ∆VRESET x e-t/RC
where ∆VRESET = the maximum change in reset level
from one pixel to the next, t = CLAMP pulse width, and
R = CLAMP switch resistance (150Ωmax). At a sample
rate of 670kHz, with t = 750nsec, a 4nF capacitor
removes at least 70% of the change in reset voltage
level. Typically, R = 60Ω, which corresponds to a 96%
cancellation of the change in reset level.
The offset due to switch charge injection is represented
by 13pC / 4nF = 3mV. Note that this error will behave
like any DC offset; that is, it will be constant from pixel

Choosing CEXT in Black-Level Compensation
In activating CLAMP once per line to compensate for the
CCD black level, the recommended value of CEXT is
governed by the following equations:
CEXT ≥ 12nF
and
CEXT ≤ N x t x 760pF/µsec
where N is the number of light-shielded cells, and t is
the width of the CLAMP pulse in µsec.
The second equation ensures that the time constant
formed by R x CEXT is small enough that the black level
is captured to within 0.5mV during the dark pixel
phase. For example, in an array with 27 dark pixels at a
670kHz sample rate, with t = 750nsec, the second
equation becomes CEXT ≤ 15nF. Capacitors smaller
than 12nF can be used; however, offset increases due
to switch charge injection, as explained in the section
Choosing CEXT for CDS.

Bypassing and Layout Considerations
Solder the MAX1101 to a multilayer board (two or more
layers) where the layer immediately beneath the device
is a ground plane.
Connect the VDD pins together at the MAX1101. Connect
all ground pins together at the device.
Bypass VDD to ground with at least a 0.1µF ceramic
capacitor. If larger capacitors are used, tantalum is
satisfactory.
