The AD9803 is a complete CCD and video signal processor
developed for electronic cameras. It is well suited for video
camera and still-camera applications.
The 18 MHz CCD signal processing chain consists of a CDS,
low noise PGA, and 10-bit ADC. Required clamping circuitry
and a voltage reference are also provided. The AUX input
features a wideband PGA and input clamp, and can be used to
sample analog video signals.
The AD9803 nominally operates from a single 3 V power supply, typically dissipating 170 mW. The AD9803 is packaged in a
space-saving 48-lead LQFP and is specified over an operating
temperature range of –20°C to +70°C.

NOTE: ACLP can be used two different ways. To control the
exact time of the clamp, an active low pulse is used to specify
the clamp interval. Alternatively, ACLP may be tied to ground.
In this configuration, the clamp circuitry will sense the most
negative portion of the signal and use this level to set the clamp
voltage. For the video waveform in Figure 4, the SYNC level
will be clamped to the black level specified in the E-Register.
Active low clamp pulse mode is shown.

AD9803
Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA)
THEORY OF OPERATION
Introduction
The on-chip PGA provides a gain range of 0 dB–30 dB, which
is “linear in dB.” Typical gain characteristics are shown in
Figures 25 and 26.
40
35
30
25
GAIN – dB
The AD9803 is a 10-bit analog-to-digital interface for CCD
cameras. The block level diagram of the system is shown in
Figure 23. The device includes a correlated double sampler
(CDS), 0 dB–30 dB programmable gain amplifier (PGA), black
level correction loop, input clamp and voltage reference. The
only external analog circuitry required at the system level is an
emitter follower buffer between the CCD output and AD9803
inputs.

Correlated Double Sampling (CDS)
CDS is important in high performance CCD systems as a
method for removing several types of noise. Basically, two
samples of the CCD output are taken: one with the signal
present (“data”) and one without (“reference”). Subtracting
these two samples removes any noise which is common—or
correlated—to both.

GAIN – dB

Figure 24 shows the block diagram of the AD9803’s CDS. The
S/H blocks are directly driven by the input and the sampling
function is performed passively, without the use of amplifiers.
This implementation relies on the off-chip emitter follower
buffer to drive the two 10 pF sampling capacitors. Only one
capacitor at a time is seen at the input pin.

As shown in Figure 27, analog PGA control is provided through
the PGACONT1 and PGACONT2 inputs. PGACONT1 provides coarse and PGACONT2 fine (1/16) gain control. The
PGA gain can also be controlled using the internal 10-bit DAC
through the serial digital interface. The gain characteristic
shown in Figure 26, with the internal DAC providing the same
control range as PGACONT1. See the Serial Interface Specifications for more details.
The AD9803 actually uses two CDS circuits in a “ping pong”
fashion to allow the system more acquisition time. In this way,
the output from one of the two CDS blocks will be valid for an
entire clock cycle. Thus, the bandwidth requirement of the
subsequent gain stage is reduced as compared to that for a singlechannel CDS system. This lower bandwidth translates to lower
power and noise.

AD9803
Black Level Clamping
CLPDM
For correct signal processing, the CCD signal must be referenced to a well established “black level.” The AD9803 uses the
CCD’s optical black (OB) pixels as a calibration signal, which is
used to establish the black level. Two sources of offset are
addressed during the calibration—the CCD’s own “black level”
offset, and the AD9803’s internal offsets in the CDS and PGA
circuitry.
The feedback loop shown in Figure 28 is closed around the
PGA during the calibration interval (CLPOB = LOW) to set
the black level. As the black pixels are being processed, an integrator block measures the difference between the input level
and the desired reference level. This difference, or error, signal
is amplified and passed to the CDS block where it is added to
the incoming pixel data. As a result of this process, the black
pixels are digitized at one end of the ADC range, taking maximum advantage of the available linear range of the system.
Using the AD9803’s serial digital interface, the black level
reference may programmed to 16 LSB, 32 LSB, 48 LSB, or
64 LSB.

Figure 28. Black Level Correction Loop (Simplified)
The actual implementation of this loop is slightly more complicated as shown in Figure 29. Because there are two separate
CDS blocks, two black level feedback loops are required and
two offset voltages are developed. Figure 29 also shows an
additional PGA block in the feedback loop labeled “RPGA.”
The RPGA uses the same control inputs as the PGA, but has
the inverse gain. The RPGA functions to attenuate by the same
factor as the PGA amplifies, keeping the gain and bandwidth of
the loop constant.
There exists an unavoidable mismatch in the two offset voltages
used to correct both CDS blocks. This mismatch causes a
slight difference in the offset level for odd and even pixels, often
called “pixel-to-pixel offset” or “even-odd offset.” To compensate for this mismatch, the AD9803 uses a digital correction
circuit after the ADC which removes the even-odd offset between the channels.

Input Blanking
In some applications, the AD9803’s input may be exposed to
large signals from the CCD, either during blanking intervals or
“high speed” modes. If the signals are larger than the AD9803’s
1 V p-p input signal range, then the on-chip input circuitry
may saturate. Recovery time from a saturated state could be
substantial.
To avoid problems associated with processing these large transients, the AD9803 includes an input blanking function. When
active (PBLK = LOW) this function stops the CDS operation
and allows the user to disconnect the CDS inputs from the
CCD buffer. Additionally, the AD9803’s digital outputs will all
go to zero while PBLK is low.
If the input voltage exceeds the supply rail by more than
0.3 volts, then protection diodes will be turned on, increasing
current flow into the AD9803 (see Equivalent Input Circuits).
Such voltage levels should be externally clamped to prevent
possible device damage.
10-Bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
The ADC employs a multibit pipelined architecture which is
well-suited for high throughput rates while being both area and
power efficient. The multistep pipeline presents a low input
capacitance resulting in lower on-chip drive requirements. A
fully differential implementation was used to overcome headroom constraints of the single +3 V power supply.
Differential Reference
The AD9803 includes a 0.5 V reference based on a differential,
continuous-time bandgap cell. Use of an external bypass capacitor reduces the reference drive requirements, thus lowering the
power dissipation. The differential architecture was chosen for
its ability to reject supply and substrate noise. Required decoupling is shown in Figure 31.

Input Bias Level Clamping
The AD9803’s on-chip timing circuitry generates all clocks
necessary for operation of the CDS and ADC blocks. The user
needs only to synchronize the SHP and SHD clocks with the
CCD waveform, as all other timing is handled internally. The
ADCCLK signal is used to strobe the output data, and can be
adjusted to accommodate desired timing. Figure 1 shows the
recommended placement of ADCCLK relative to SHP and
SHD.
The buffered CCD output is connected to the AD9803 through
an external coupling capacitor. The dc bias point for this coupling capacitor is established during the clamping (CLPDM =
LOW) period using the “dummy clamp” loop shown in Figure
30. When closed around the CDS, this loop establishes the
desired dc bias point on the coupling capacitor.

Even-Odd Pixel Offset Correction
The AD9803 includes digital correction circuitry following the
10-bit ADC. The purpose of the digital correction is remove
the residual offset between the even and odd pixel channels,
which results from the “ping-pong” CDS architecture of the
AD9803. The digital offset correction tracks the black level of
the even and odd channels, applying the necessary digital correction value to keep them balanced. There is an additional two
cycle delay when using the offset correction, resulting in pipeline delay of 7 ADCCLK cycles (see Figure 1).
ADCCLK
A/D
CONVERTER
The recommended method of controlling the input clamp is
to simply ground the ACLP input (Pin 15) to activate the
“automatic” clamping capability of the AD9803. The clamp
may also be controlled with a separate clock signal. See the
clamp timing in Figure 4 for more details.
The THD performance for fS = 18 MHz is shown in Figure 21.
When operating at fS = 18 MHz, the linearity performance is
comparable to the CCD-Mode linearity, shown in Figure 18.
The AUX-MODE can be operated at a sampling rate of up to
28.6 MHz. If the sample rate exceeds 18 MHz, then the High
Speed AUX-MODE should be programmed through the serial
interface (D-Register 01).

AD9803
NOTE: With the exception of a write to the PGA register during AUX-mode, all data writes must be 10 bits. During an
AUX-mode write to the PGA register, only 8 bits of data are
required. If more than 14 SCK rising edges are applied during a
write operation, additional SCK pulses will be ignored (see
Figure 35). All reads must be 10 bits to receive valid register
contents. All registers default to 0s on power-up, except for the
A-register which defaults to 11. Thus, on power-up, the AD9803
defaults to CCD mode. During the power-up phase, it is recommended that SL be HIGH and SCK be LOW to prevent accidental register write operations. SDATA may be unknown. The
RNW bit (“Read/Not Write”) must be LOW for all write operations to the serial interface, and HIGH when reading back from
the serial interface registers.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Power and Grounding Recommendations
The AD9803 should be treated as an analog component when
used in a system. The same power supply and ground plane
should be used for all of the pins. In a two-ground system, this
requires that the digital supply pins be decoupled to the analog
ground plane and the digital ground pins be connected to analog ground for best noise performance. Separate digital supplies
can be used, particularly if slightly different driver supplies are
needed, but the digital power pins should still be decoupled to
the same point as the digital ground pins (the analog ground
plane). If the AD9803 digital outputs need to drive a bus or
substantial load, then a buffer should be used at the AD9803’s
outputs, with the buffer referenced to system digital ground. In
some cases, when system digital noise is not substantial, it is
acceptable to split the ground pins on the AD9803 to separate
analog and digital ground planes. If this is done, be sure to
connect the two ground planes together at the AD9803.
To further improve performance, isolating the driver supply
DRVDD from DVDD with a ferrite bead can help reduce kickback effects during major code transitions. Alternatively, the
use of damping resistors on the digital outputs will reduce the
output rise times, also reducing the kickback effect.
Application Circuit Utilizing the AD9803’s Digital Gain Control
Figure 37 shows the recommended circuit configuration for
CCD-Mode operation when using the 3-wire serial interface.
The analog PGA control pins, PGACONT1 and PGACONT2,
should be shorted together and decoupled to ground. If the two
auxiliary DACs are not used, then Pins 39 and 40 (DAC1 and
DAC2) may be grounded.
Using the AD9803 in AD9801 Sockets
The AD9803 may be easily used in existing AD9801 designs
without any circuit modifications. Most of the pin assignments
are the same for both ICs. Table I outlines the differences. The
circuit of Figure 38 shows the necessary connections for the
AD9803 when used in an existing AD9801 socket. The poweron reset in the AD9803 assures that the device will power-up in
CCD-mode, with analog PGA gain control.
