The TLV990-13 is a complete CCD signal
processor/digitizer designed for digital still
camera and PC camera applications. The
TLV990-13 performs all the analog-processing
functions necessary to maximize the dynamic range, corrects various errors associated with the CCD sensor,
and then digitizes the results with an on-chip high-speed analog-to-digital converter (ADC).
The key components of the TLV990-13 include: an input clamp circuit for CCD signal, a correlated double
sampler (CDS), a programmable-gain amplifier (PGA) with 0 to 36-dB gain range, two internal digital-to-analog
converters (DAC) for automatic or programmable optical black level and offset calibration, a 10-bit, 13-MSPS
pipeline ADC, a parallel data port for easy microprocessor interface, a serial port for configuring internal control
registers, two additional DACs for external system control, and internal reference voltages.
Designed in advanced CMOS process, the TLV990-13 operates from a single 3-V power supply with a normal
power consumption of 150 mW at 13 MSPS and 2 mW in power-down mode.
Its single 3-V operation, very low-power consumption, and fully-integrated analog-processing circuitry make the
TLV990-13 an ideal CCD signal-processing solution for digital still cameras and PC camera applications.
This device is available in a 48-pin TQFP package and is specified over a –20°C to 75°C operating-temperature
range.
Please be aware that an important notice concerning availability, standard warranty, and use in critical applications of

TLV990-13
3-V, 10-BIT, 13-MSPS AREA CCD ANALOG FRONT END
SLAS282 – JULY 2000
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
CDS and PGA
The output from the CCD sensor is first fed to a correlated double sampler (CDS) through the CCDIN pin. The
CCD signal is sampled and held during the reset-reference interval and the video-signal interval. By subtracting
two resulting voltage levels, the CDS removes low-frequency noise from the output of the CCD sensor and
obtains the voltage difference between the CCD reference level and the video level of each pixel. Two
sample/hold control pulses (SR and SV) are required to perform the CDS function.
The CCD output is capacitively coupled to the TLV990-13. The ac-coupling capacitor is clamped to establish
proper dc bias during the dummy pixel interval by the CLCCD input. The bias at the input to the TLV990-13 is
set to 1.2 V. Normally, CLCCD is applied at the sensor’s line rate. A capacitor, with a value ten times larger than
that of the input ac-coupling capacitor, should be connected between the CLREF pin and AGND.
When operating the TLV990-13 at its maximum speed, the CCD internal source resistance should be smaller
than 50 Ω. Otherwise CCD output buffering is required.
The signal is sent to the PGA after the CDS function is complete. The PGA gain can be adjusted from 0 to 36 dB
by programming the internal-gain register via the serial port. The PGA is digitally controlled with 10-bit resolution
on a linear dB scale, resulting in a 0.045-dB gain step. The gain can be expressed by the following equation,
Gain = PGA code × 0.045 dB
Where PGA code has a range of 0 to 767.
ADC
The ADC employs a pipelined architecture to achieve high throughput and low-power consumption. Fullydifferential implementation and digital-error correction ensure 10-bit resolution.
The latency of the ADC data output is 6 ADCCLK cycles, as shown in Figure 1. Pulling the OE pin (pin 24) high
puts the ADC output in high impedance.
user DACs
The TLV990-13 includes two user DACs that can be used for external analog settings. The output voltage of
each DAC can be independently set and has a range of 0 V up to the supply voltage, with an 8-bit resolution.
When the user DACs are not used in a camera system, they can be put in the standby mode by programming
control bits in the control register.
internal timing
The SR and SV signals are required to operate the CDS, as previously explained. The user needs to
synchronize the SR and SV clocks with the CCD signal waveform. The output of the ADC is read out to external
circuitry by the ADCCLK signal, which is also used internally to control both ADC and PGA operations. The
positive-half cycle of the ADCCLK signal is required to always fall in between two adjacent SV pulses as shown
in Fig. 1. The user can then fine tune the ADCCLK timing in relation to the CDS timing to achieve optimal
performance.
The CLCCD signal is used to activate the input clamping and the OBCLP signal is used to activate auto-optical
black and offset correction.

SLAS282 – JULY 2000
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
input blanking function
Large input transients may occur at the TLV990-13’s input during some period of operation which can saturate
the input circuits and cause long recovery time. To prevent circuit saturation the TLV990-13 includes an input
blanking function that blocks the input signals by disabling the CDS operation whenever the BLKG input is pulled
low. The TLV990-13 digital output will be set by the blanking data register after BLKG is pulled low.
NOTE:
If the BLKG pulse is located before the OBCLP pulse, there must be at least 4 pixels between the
rising edge of the BLKG pulse and the falling edge of the OBCLP pulse. If the BLKG pulse is located
after the OBCLP, the minimum number of pixels between the falling edge of the OBCLP and the
falling edge of the BLKG pulse should be equal to the number of optical black pixels per line + 4.
3-wire serial interface
A simple 3-wire (SCLK, SDIN, and CS) serial interface is provided to allow writing to the internal registers of
the TLV990-13. The serial clock SCLK can be run at a maximum frequency of 40 MHz. Serial data SDIN is 16
bits long. The two leading null bits are followed by four address bits for which the internal register is to be
updated, and then ten bits of data to be written to the register. The CS pin must be held low to enable the serial
port. The data transfer is initiated by the incoming SCLK after CS falls.
The SCLK polarity is selectable by pulling the SCKP pin either high or low.
device reset
When pin RESET (pin 29) is pulled low, all internal registers are set to their default values. The device also resets
itself when it is first powered on. In addition, the TLV990-13 has a software-reset function that resets the device
when writing a control bit to the control register.
See the register definition section for the register default values.
voltage references
An internal precision-voltage reference of 1.5 V nominal is provided. This reference voltage is used to generate
the ADC Ref– voltage of 1 V and Ref+ of 2 V. It is also used to set the clamp voltage. All internally-generated
voltages are fixed values and cannot be adjusted.
power-down mode (standby)
The TLV990-13 implements both hardware and software power-down modes. Pulling pin STBY (pin 30) low
puts the device in the low-power standby mode. Total supply current drops to about 0.6 mA. Setting a
power-down control bit in the control register can also activate the power-down mode. The user can still program
all internal registers during the power-down mode.
power supply
The TLV990-13 has several power-supply pins. Each major internal analog block has a dedicated AVDD supply
pin. All internal digital circuitry is powered by DVDD. Both AVDD and DVDD are 3-V nominal.
The DIVDD and DIGND pins supply power to the output digital driver (D9–D0). The DIVDD is independent of the
DVDD and can be operated from 1.8 V to 4.4 V. This allows the outputs to interface with digital ASICs requiring
different supply voltages.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
ground and decoupling
All ground pins of the TLV990-13 are not internally connected and must be connected externally to PCB ground.
General practices should apply to the PCB design to limit high-frequency transients and noise that are fed back
into the supply and reference lines. This requires that the supply and reference pins be sufficiently bypassed.
In the case of power supply decoupling, 0.1-µF ceramic chip capacitors are adequate to keep the impedance
low over a wide frequency range. Recommended external decoupling for the three voltage-reference pins is
shown in Figure 4. Since their effectiveness depends largely on the proximity to the individual supply pin, all
decoupling capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the supply pins.
To reduce high-frequency and noise coupling, it is highly recommended that digital and analog grounds be
shorted immediately outside the package. This can be accomplished by running a low-impedance line between
DGND and AGND under the package.
automatic optical black and offset correction
In the TLV990-13, the optical black and system channel-offset corrections are performed by an autodigital
feedback loop. Two DACs are used to compensate for both channel offset and optical black offset. A coarse
correction DAC (CDAC) is located before the PGA gain stage, and a fine correction DAC (FDAC) is located after
the gain stage. The digital-calibration system is capable of correcting the optical black and channel offset down
to one ADC LSB accuracy.
The TLV990-13 automatically starts autocalibration whenever the OBCLP input is pulled low. The OBCLP pulse
should be wide enough to cover one positive half cycle of the ADCCLK, as shown in Figure 1.
For each line, the optical black pixels plus the channel offset are sampled and converted to digital data by the
ADC. A digital circuit averages the data during the optical black pixels. The averaged result is compared digitally
with the desired output code stored in the Vb register (default is 40H), then control logic adjusts the FDAC to
make the ADC output equal to the Vb. If the offset is out of the range of the FDAC (±255 ADC LSBs), the error
is corrected by both CDAC and FDAC. The CDAC increments or decrements by one CDAC LSB, depending
on whether the offset is negative of positive, until the output is within the range of the FDAC. The remaining
residue is corrected by the FDAC.
The relationship among the FDAC, CDAC, and ADC in terms of number of ADC LSBs is as follows:
1 FDAC LSB = 1 ADC LSB,
1 CDAC LSB = PGA linear gain × n ADC LSB.
Where n is:
4 for 0 =< gain code <64
3 for 64 =< gain code <96
2 for 96 =< gain code <128
1 for 128 =< gain code
For example, if PGA gain = 2 (6 dB), then, 1 CDAC LSB = 2 x 4 ADC LSBs = 8 ADC LSBs.
After autocalibration is complete, the ADC’s digital output during CCD signal interval can be expressed by the
following equation:
ADC output [D9–D0] = CCD_input × PGA gain + Vb,
Where Vb is the desired black level selected by the user. The total offset, including optical black offset, is
calibrated to be equal to Vb by adjusting the offset correction DACs during autocalibration.

SLAS282 – JULY 2000
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
automatic optical black and offset correction (continued)
A weighted rolling average of the optical black pixels is taken during averaging. The weighting factor can be
programmed in control register2. The weighting factor determines the speed of convergence of the digital
filtering implemented within the CCD signal processor. Weighting factors closer to 1 result in faster
convergence. As the weighting factor decreases towards its minimum value of 1/128, the speed of convergence
of the digital filtering decreases.
The algorithm also takes hot pixels and cold pixels into consideration. A hot optical black pixel is a defective
pixel that generates too much charge, while a cold pixel is the one that generates very little or no charge. A digital
comparator compares the digitized optical black pixels with user-selected hot and cold pixel limits. If the optical
black pixel value is out of range, then that hot or cold pixel is replaced with the value of the previous pixel.
Due to different exposure times, there might be a sudden optical black level shift at the start of each frame. Thus,
a quick optical black level correction is desirable. The user can set an internal control bit (the SOF bit in control
register2) to automatically disable the hot/cold pixel limits and to set the digital filtering weighting factor to 1
(equivalent to one-line averaging). In this way the optical black correction could be performed very quickly for
the first line of each frame.
The number of black pixels in each line is programmable. The number of black pixels per line that can be
averaged is 2N, where N can be any integer from 0 to 6.
The autocalibration feature can be bypassed if the user prefers to directly program the offset DAC registers.
Switching the autocalibration mode to the direct-programming mode requires two register writes. First, the
control bits for the offset DACs in the control register must be changed; then the desired offset value for the
register is loaded to the offset DAC registers for proper error correction. If the total offset, including optical black
level, is less than ±255 ADC LSBs, only the FDAC needs to be programmed. When switching from directprogramming mode to autocalibration mode, the previous DAC register values, rather than default DAC register
values, are used as starting offsets.
