The AD9974 is a highly integrated, dual-channel, chargecoupled device (CCD) signal processor for high speed digital
video camera applications. Each channel is specified at pixel
rates of up to 65 MHz. The AD9974 consists of a complete
analog front end (AFE) with analog-to-digital conversion,
combined with a programmable timing driver. The Precision
Timing™ core allows adjustment of high speed clocks with
approximately 240 ps resolution at 65 MHz operation.
Each AFE includes black level clamping, CDS, VGA, and
a 65 MSPS, 14-bit ADC. The timing driver provides the high
speed CCD clock drivers for the RG_A, RG_B, H1_A to H4_A,
and H1_B to H4_B outputs. A 3-wire serial interface is used to
program each channel of the AD9974.

The total power dissipated by the HVDD (or RGVDD) supply can be approximated as follows: Total HVDD Power = [CLOAD × HVDD × Pixel Frequency] × HVDD.
Reducing the capacitive load and/or reducing the HVDD supply reduces the power dissipation. CLOAD is the total capacitance seen by all H-outputs.

LDO should be used to supply only AVDD and DVDD.

Minimum CLPOB pulse width is for functional operation only. Wider typical pulses are recommended to achieve good clamp performance.
Only applies to slave mode operation. The inhibited area for SHP is needed to meet the timing requirements for tCLISHP for proper H-counter reset operation.
3
When 0x34[2:0] HxBLKRETIME bits are enabled, the inhibit region for SHD location changes to inhibit region for SHP location.
4
When sequence register 0x09[23:21] HBLK masking registers are set to 0, the H-edge reference becomes H × NEGLOC.
5
The H-clock signals that have SHP/SHD inhibit regions depend on the HCLK mode: Mode 1 = H1, Mode 2 = H1, H2, and Mode 3 = H1, H3.
6
These specifications apply when H1POL, H2POL, RGPOL, and HLPOL are all set to 1 (default setting).

TERMINOLOGY
MAX
Differential Nonlinearity (DNL)
An ideal ADC exhibits code transitions that are exactly 1 LSB
apart. DNL is the deviation from this ideal value. Therefore,
every code must have a finite width. No missing codes guaranteed
to 14-bit resolution indicates that all 16,384 codes, each for its
respective input, must be present over all operating conditions.
Total Output Noise
The rms output noise is measured using histogram techniques.
The standard deviation of the ADC output codes is calculated
in LSB and represents the rms noise level of the total signal
chain at the specified gain setting. The output noise can be
converted to an equivalent voltage using the relationship
1 LSB = (ADC Full Scale/2n Codes)

where n is the bit resolution of the ADC. For the AD9974,
1 LSB is approximately 122.0 μV.
Linearity Mismatch
The linearity mismatch is calculated by taking the difference in
INL of the two channels at Input X, and then expressing the
difference as a percentage of the output code at X. The values
given in Table 2 are obtained over the range of 1⁄16 and
maximum of the output code. The general trend is for the
linearity mismatch to decrease as the output approaches the
maximum code, as shown in Figure 8.

Peak Nonlinearity
Peak nonlinearity, a full signal chain specification, refers to the
peak deviation of the output of the AD9974 from a true straight
line. The point used as zero scale occurs 0.5 LSB before the first
code transition. Positive full scale is defined as a level 1 LSB
and 0.5 LSB beyond the last code transition. The deviation is
measured from the middle of each particular output code to the
true straight line. The error is then expressed as a percentage
of the 2 V ADC full-scale signal. The input signal is always
appropriately gained up to fill the ADC full-scale range.

Figure 14 shows the typical system block diagram for the AD9974.
The charge-coupled device (CCD) output is processed by the
analog front-end (AFE) circuitry of the AD9974, consisting of a
CDS, VGA, black level clamp, and ADC. The digitized pixel
information is sent to the digital image processor chip, which
performs the postprocessing and compression. To operate the
CCD, all CCD timing parameters are programmed into the
AD9974 from the system ASIC through the 3-wire serial
interface. From the system master clock, CLI_X, which is provided
by the image processor or external crystal, the AD9974 generates
the horizontal clocks of the CCD and all internal AFE clocks.

PROGRAMMABLE TIMING GENERATION
Using a 65 MHz CLI frequency, the edge resolution of the
Precision Timing core is approximately 240 ps. If a 1× system
clock is not available, it is possible to use a 2× reference clock
by programming the CLIDIVIDE register (Address 0x0D). The
AD9974 then internally divides the CLI frequency by 2.
PRECISION TIMING HIGH SPEED TIMING CORE
The AD9974 generates flexible high speed timing signals using
the Precision Timing core. This core, composed of the Reset
Gate RG, Horizontal Driver H1 to Horizontal Driver H4, and
SHP/SHD sample clocks, is the foundation for generating the
timing for both the CCD and the AFE. A unique architecture
makes it routine for the system designer to optimize image
quality by providing precise control over the horizontal CCD
readout and the AFE correlated double sampling.
High Speed Clock Programmability
Figure 18 shows when the high speed clocks, RG, H1 to H4,
SHP, and SHD, are generated. The RG pulse has programmable
rising and falling edges and can be inverted using the polarity
control. The H1 and H2 horizontal clocks have separate programmable rising and falling edges, as well as separate polarity control.
The AD9974 provides additional HCLK-mode programmability,
as described in Table 9.
Timing Resolution
The Precision Timing core uses a master clock input (CLI_X)
as a reference. This clock input should be the same as the CCD
pixel clock frequency. Figure 17 illustrates how the internal timing
core divides the master clock period into 64 steps or edge positions;
therefore, the edge resolution of the Precision Timing core is
(tCLI/64). For more information on using the CLI input, refer to
the Applications Information section.

Figure 22. Pipeline Delay of AFE Data Outputs
H-Driver and RG Outputs
Digital Data Outputs
In addition to the programmable timing positions, the AD9974
features on-chip output drivers for the RG and H1 to H4 outputs.
These drivers are powerful enough to drive the CCD inputs
directly. The H-driver and RG-driver current can be adjusted
for optimum rise/fall time into a particular load by using the
drive strength control registers (Address 0x35). Use the register
to adjust the drive strength in 4.3 mA increments. The minimum
setting of 0 is equal to off or three-state, and the maximum setting
of 7 is equal to 30.1 mA.
For maximum system flexibility, the AD9974 uses the
DOUTPHASE registers (Address 0x37[11:0]) to select the
location for the start of each new pixel data value. Any edge
location from 0 to 63 can be programmed. These registers
determine the start location of the data output and the DCLK
rising edge with respect to the master clock input, CLI_X.
The pipeline delay through the AD9974 is shown in Figure 22.
After the CCD input is sampled by SHD, there is a 16-cycle
delay until the data is available.

AD9974
HORIZONTAL CLAMPING AND BLANKING
CLPOB and PBLK Masking Area
The horizontal clamping and blanking pulses of the AD9974 are
fully programmable to suit a variety of applications. Individual
control is provided for CLPOB, PBLK, and HBLK during the
different regions of each field. This allows the dark pixel clamping
and blanking patterns to be changed at each stage of the readout
to accommodate different image transfer timing and high speed
line shifts.
Additionally, the AD9974 allows the CLPOB and PBLK signals
to be disabled during certain lines in the field without changing
any of the existing pattern settings. There are three sets of start
and end registers for both CLPOB and PBLK that allow the
creation of up to three masking areas for each signal.
Individual CLPOB and PBLK Patterns
The AFE horizontal timing consists of CLPOB and PBLK, as
shown in Figure 23. These two signals are programmed independently using the registers in Table 11. The start polarity for
the CLPOB or PBLK signal is CLPOB_POL (PBLK_POL), and the
first and second toggle positions of the pulse are CLPOB_TOG1
(PBLK_TOG1) and CLPOB_TOG2 (PBLK_TOG2). Both signals
are active low and need to be programmed accordingly.
Two separate patterns for CLPOB and PBLK can be programmed
for each H-pattern, CLPOB0, CLPOB1, PBLK0, and PBLK1.
The CLPOB_PAT and PBLK_PAT field registers select which
of the two patterns is used in each field.
For example, to use the CLPOB masking, program the
CLPOBMASKSTART and CLPOBMASKEND registers to
specify the starting and ending lines in the field where the CLPOB
patterns are to be ignored. Figure 24 illustrates this feature.
The masking registers are not specific to a certain H-pattern;
they are always active for any existing field of timing. To disable
the CLPOB and PBLK masking feature, set these registers to the
maximum value of 0x1FFF.
Note that to disable CLPOB and PBLK masking during
power-up, it is recommended that CLPOBMASKSTART
(PBLKMASKSTART) be set to 8191 and CLPOBMASKEND
(PBLKMASKEND) be set to 0. This prevents any accidental
masking caused by different register update events.
Figure 34 shows how the sequence change positions divide the
readout field into different regions. By assigning a different
H-pattern to each region, the CLPOB and PBLK signals can
change with each change in the vertical timing.

Individual HBLK Patterns
HBLK Mode 0 Operation
The HBLK programmable timing shown in Figure 25 is similar
to CLPOB and PBLK; however, there is no start polarity control.
Only the toggle positions designate the start and the stop positions
of the blanking period. Additionally, as shown in Figure 26, there
is a polarity control, HBLKMASK, for H1/H3 and H2/H4 that
designates the polarity of the horizontal clock signals during the
blanking period. Setting HBLKMASK_H1 low sets H1 = H3 =
low and HBLKMASK_H2 high sets H2 = H4 = high during the
blanking. As with the CLPOB and PBLK signals, HBLK registers
are available in each H-pattern group, allowing unique blanking
signals to be used with different vertical timing sequences.
There are six toggle positions available for HBLK. Normally,
only two of the toggle positions are used to generate the standard
HBLK interval. However, the additional toggle positions can be
used to generate special HBLK patterns, as shown in Figure 27.
The pattern in this example uses all six toggle positions to generate
two extra groups of pulses during the HBLK interval. By changing
the toggle positions, different patterns are created.
Separate toggle positions are available for even and odd lines.
If alternation is not needed, load the same values into the registers
for even (HBLKTOGE) and odd (HBLKTOGO) lines.
The AD9974 supports three modes of HBLK operation. HBLK
Mode 0 supports basic operation and provides some support for
special HBLK patterns. HBLK Mode 1 supports pixel mixing
HBLK operation. HBLK Mode 2 supports advanced HBLK operation. The following sections describe each mode. Register

HBLK Mode 1 Operation
Increasing H-Clock Width During HBLK
Enable multiple repeats of the HBLK signal by setting
HBLK_MODE to 1. In this mode, the HBLK pattern can be
generated using a different set of registers: HBLKSTART,
HBLKEND, HBLKLEN, and HBLKREP, along with the six
toggle positions (see Figure 28).
HBLK Mode 0 and HBLK Mode 1 allow the H1 to H4 pulse
width to be increased during the HBLK interval. As shown in
Figure 29, the H-clock frequency can be reduced by a factor of
1/2, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8, 1/10, 1/12, and so on, up to 1/30. To enable this
feature, the HCLK_WIDTH register (Address 0x34[7:4]) is set to
a value between 1 and 15. When this register is set to 0, the wide
HCLK feature is disabled. The reduced frequency occurs only for
H1 to H4 pulses that are located within the HBLK area.
Separate toggle positions are available for even and odd lines.
If alternation is not needed, load the same values into the registers
for even (HBLKTOGE) and odd (HBLKTOGO) lines.
Generating HBLK Line Alternation
HBLK Mode 0 and HBLK Mode 1 provide the ability to
alternate different HBLK toggle positions on even and odd
lines. Separate toggle positions are available for even and odd
lines. If even/odd line alternation is not required, load the same
values into the registers for even (HBLKTOGE) and odd
(HBLKTOGO) lines.
The HCLK_WIDTH register is generally used in conjunction
with special HBLK patterns to generate vertical and horizontal
mixing in the CCD.
Note that the wide HCLK feature is available only in HBLK Mode 0
and HBLK Mode 1, not in HBLK Mode 2.

RA1H1REPA/RA1H1REPB/RA1H1REPC =
RA1H2REPA/RA1H2REPB/RA1H2REPC = 2.
HBLK Mode 2 allows more advanced HBLK pattern operation.
If unevenly spaced HCLK pulses in multiple areas are needed,
HBLK Mode 2 can be used. Using a separate set of registers,
HBLK Mode 2 can divide the HBLK region into up to six repeat
areas (see Table 12). As shown in Figure 31, each repeat area
shares a common group of toggle positions, HBLKSTARTA,
HBLKSTARTB, and HBLKSTARTC. However, the number of
toggles following each start position can be unique in each
repeat area by using the RAH1REP and RAH2REP registers.
As shown in Figure 30, setting the RAH1REPA/RAH1REPB/
RAH1REPC or RAH2REPA/RAH2REPB/RAH2REPC registers
to 0 masks HCLK groups from appearing in a particular repeat
area. Figure 31 shows only two repeat areas being used, although
six are available. It is possible to program a separate number of
repeat area repetitions for H1 and H2, but generally the same
value is used for both H1 and H2.

Furthermore, HBLK Mode 2 allows a different HBLK pattern

RAH1REPC and RAH2REPA/RAH2REPB/RAH2REPC registers,
define operation for the even lines. For separate control of the
odd lines, the HBLKALT_PAT registers specify up to six repeat
areas on the odd lines by reordering the repeat areas used for the
even lines. New patterns are not available, but the order of the
previously defined repeat areas on the even lines can be changed
for the odd lines to accommodate advanced CCD operation.

For example, if the desired toggle position is 100, CLPOB_TOG
should be set to 88 (that is, 100 − 12). Figure 49 shows the 12-cycle
pipeline delay referenced to the falling edge of HD.
HBLK, PBLK, and CLPOB Toggle Positions
The AD9974 uses an internal horizontal pixel counter to position
the HBLK, PBLK, and CLPOB toggle positions. The horizontal
counter does not reset to 0 until 12 CLI periods after the falling
edge of HD. This 12-cycle pipeline delay must be considered
when determining the register toggle positions. For example, if
CLPOB_TOG1 is 100 and the pipeline delay is not considered,
the final toggle position is applied at 112. To obtain the correct
toggle positions, the toggle position registers must be set to the
desired toggle position minus 12.
PIXEL NO.
Caution
Toggle positions cannot be programmed during the 12-cycle
delay from the HD falling edge until the H-counter has reset.

COMPLETE FIELD—COMBINING H-PATTERNS
H-Pattern Selection
After the H-patterns are created, they combine to create different
readout fields. A field consists of up to nine different regions
determined by the SCP registers. Within each region, a different
H-pattern group can be selected up to a maximum of 32 groups.
Registers to control the H-patterns are located in the field registers.
Table 31 describes the field registers.
The H-patterns are stored in the HPAT memory, as described in
Table 20. The user decides how many H-pattern groups are
required, up to a maximum of 32, and then uses the HPAT_SEL
registers to select which H-pattern group is output in each
region of the field. Figure 34 shows how to use the HPAT_SEL
and SCP registers. The SCP registers create the line boundaries
for each region.

AD9974
MODE REGISTERS
The mode registers contain registers to select the final field timing
of the AD9974. Typically, all of the field and H-pattern group
information is programmed into the AD9974 at startup. During
operation, the mode registers allow the user to select any combination of field timing to meet the current requirements of the
system. The advantage of using the mode registers in conjunction
with preprogrammed timing is that they greatly reduce the system
programming requirements during camera operation. Only a few
register writes are required when the camera operating mode is
changed, rather than having to write in all of the vertical timing
information with each camera mode change.
A basic still camera application can require five fields of horizontal timing: one for draft mode operation, one for autofocusing,
and three for still image readout. With the AD9974, all of the
register timing information for the five fields is loaded at startup.
Then, during camera operation, the mode registers select
which field timing to activate, depending on how the camera
is being used.
The AD9974 supports up to seven field sequences selected from
up to 31 preprogrammed field groups using the FIELD_SEL
registers. When FIELDNUM is greater than 1, the AD9974 starts
with Field 1 and increments to each Field n at the start of each VD.
Figure 35 provides examples of mode configuration settings.
This example assumes to have four field groups, Field Group 0
to Field Group 3, stored in memory.

AD9974
Figure 36 shows an example of a CCD layout. The horizontal
register contains 28 dummy pixels that occur on each line
clocked from the CCD. In the vertical direction, there are
10 optical black (OB) lines at the front of the readout and two
at the back of the readout. The horizontal direction has four
OB pixels in the front and 48 in the back.
Figure 37 shows the basic sequence layout to use during the
effective pixel readout. The 48 OB pixels at the end of each line
are used for the CLPOB signals. PBLK is optional and is often
used to blank the digital outputs during the HBLK time. HBLK
is used during the vertical shift interval.
The CLPOBMASK registers are also useful for disabling the
CLPOB on a few lines without affecting the setup of the
clamping sequences. It is important to use CLPOB only during
valid OB pixels. During other portions on the frame timing,
such as vertical blanking or SG line timing, the CCD does not
output valid OB pixels. Any CLPOB pulse that occurs during
this time causes errors in clamping operation and, therefore,
changes in the black level of the image.
2 VERTICAL
OB LINES
Because PBLK is used to isolate the CDS input (see the Analog
Front End Description and Operation section), do not use the
PBLK signal during CLPOB operation. The change in the offset
behavior that occurs during PBLK impacts the accuracy of the
CLPOB circuitry.

The HBLK, CLPOB, and PBLK parameters are programmed

During the PBLK active time, the ADC outputs can be
programmed to output all 0s or the programmed clamp level.
The AD9974 signal processing chain is shown in Figure 38.
Each processing step is essential for achieving a high quality
image from the raw CCD pixel data.
DC Restore
To reduce the large dc offset of the CCD output signal, a dc
restore circuit is used with an external 0.1 μF series coupling
capacitor. This restores the dc level of the CCD signal to approximately 1.2 V, making it compatible with the 1.8 V core supply
voltage of the AD9974. The dc restore switch is active during
the SHP sample pulse time.
The dc restore circuit can be disabled when the optional PBLK
signal is used to isolate large-signal swings from the CCD input
(see the Analog Preblanking section). Bit 6 of Address 0x00
controls whether the dc restore is active during the PBLK interval.
Analog Preblanking
During certain CCD blanking or substrate clocking intervals,
the CCD input signal to the AD9974 may increase in amplitude
beyond the recommended input range. The PBLK signal can be
used to isolate the CDS input from large-signal swings. As shown
in Figure 38, when PBLK is active (low), the CDS input is isolated
from the CCDIN pin (S1 open) and is internally shorted to
ground (S2 closed).
Note that because the CDS input is shorted during PBLK, the
CLPOB pulse should not be used during the same active time as
the PBLK pulse.
Correlated Double Sampler (CDS)
The CDS circuit samples each CCD pixel twice to extract the
video information and to reject low frequency noise. The timing
shown in Figure 21 illustrates how the two internally generated
CDS clocks, SHP and SHD, are used to sample the reference
level and data level of the CCD signal, respectively. The placement
of the SHP and SHD sampling edges is determined by the setting
of the SHPLOC and SHDLOC register located at Address 0x36.
Placement of these two clock signals is critical for achieving the
best performance from the CCD. The CDS gain is variable in
four steps by using the AFE Register Address 0x04: −3 dB, 0 dB
(default), +3 dB, and +6 dB. Improved noise performance results
from using the +3 dB and +6 dB settings, but the input range is
reduced (see Table 5).

Inverting CDS Mode
Noninverting Input
For this configuration, the signal from the CCD is applied to the
positive input of the (CCDINP) CDS system with the minus
side (CCDINM) grounded (see Figure 40). The CDSMODE
register setting for this configuration is 0x00. Traditional CCD
applications use this configuration with the reset level established
below the AVDD supply level by the AD9974 dc restore circuit,
at approximately 1.5 V. The maximum saturation level is 1.0 V
below the reset level, as shown in Figure 41 and Table 16. A maximum saturation voltage of 1.4 V is also possible when using the
minimum CDS gain setting.
If the noninverting input is desired, the reset (or black) level
signal is established at a voltage above ground potential.
Saturation (or white) level is approximately 1 V. Samples are
taken at each signal level. See Figure 42 and Table 17.

at the signal minimum and at a point of signal maximum. The
resulting differential signal is the difference between the signal
and the reference voltage.
This configuration uses a differential input sample/hold
amplifier (SHA) (see Figure 43).

In this configuration, a signal is applied to the CCDINP input
and, simultaneously, an inverse signal is applied to the CCDINM
input. Sampling occurs on both signals at the same time. This
creates the differential output for amplification and the ADC
(see Figure 44 and Table 18).

When SHA mode is selected, only the SHPLOC setting is used
to sample the input signal, but the SHDLOC signal should still
be programmed to an edge setting of SHPLOC + 32.
The SHA mode can also be used in a single-ended fashion, with
the signal from the image sensor applied to the CDS/SHA using
a single input, CCDINP. This is similar to the differential configuration, except in this case, the CCDINM line is held at a constant
dc voltage, establishing a reference level that matches the image
sensor reference voltage (see Figure 45).

The timing shown in Figure 21 illustrates how the two internally
generated CDS clocks, SHP and SHD, are used to sample the
reference level and data level of the CCD signal, respectively. The
placement of the SHP and SHD sampling edges is determined by
the setting of the SHPLOC and SHDLOC register located at
Address 0x36. Placement of these two clock signals is critical in
achieving the best performance from the CCD.

AD9974
Variable Gain Amplifier
Optical Black Clamp
The VGA stage provides a gain range of approximately 6 dB to
42 dB, programmable with 10-bit resolution through the serial
digital interface. A gain of 6 dB is needed to match a 1 V input
signal with the ADC full-scale range of 2 V. When compared to
1 V full-scale systems, the equivalent gain range is 0 dB to 36 dB.
The optical black clamp loop is used to remove residual offsets
in the signal chain and track low frequency variations in the
CCD black level. During the optical black (shielded) pixel interval
on each line, the ADC output is compared with a fixed black
level reference, selected by the user in the clamp level register.
The value can be programmed between 0 LSB and 1023 LSB in
1023 steps.
The VGA gain curve follows a linear-in-dB characteristic. The
exact VGA gain is calculated for any gain register value by
The resulting error signal is filtered to reduce noise, and the
correction value is applied to the ADC input through a DAC.
Normally, the optical black clamp loop is turned on once per
horizontal line, but this loop can be updated more slowly to suit
a particular application. If external digital clamping is used during
postprocessing, the AD9974 optical black clamping can be disabled
using Bit 3 in AFE Register Address 0x00. When the loop is
disabled, the clamp level register can still be used to provide
fixed offset adjustment.
Gain (dB) = (0.0359 × Code) + 5.1 dB
where Code is the range of 0 to 1023.

Note that if the CLPOB loop is disabled, higher VGA gain
settings reduce the dynamic range because the uncorrected
offset in the signal path is gained up.

ADC
The AD9974 uses a high performance ADC architecture optimized for high speed and low power. Differential nonlinearity
(DNL) performance is typically better than 0.5 LSB. The ADC
uses a 2 V input range. See Figure 5, Figure 6, and Figure 7 for
typical noise performance and linearity plots for the AD9974.
The CLPOB pulse should be aligned with the optical black
pixels of the CCD. It is recommended that the CLPOB pulse
duration be at least 20 pixels wide. Shorter pulse widths can be
used, but the ability of the loop to track low frequency variations
in the black level is reduced. See the Horizontal Clamping and
Blanking section for more timing information.
Digital Data Outputs
The AD9974 digital output data is latched using the DOUTPHASE
register value, as shown in Figure 38. Output data timing is shown
in Figure 22. The switching of the data outputs can couple noise
back into the analog signal path. To minimize any switching
noise while using default SHPLOC and SHDLOC, it is
recommended that the DOUTPHASEP register be set to a value
between 36 and 47. Other settings can produce good results, but
experimentation is necessary.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
RECOMMENDED POWER-UP SEQUENCE
5.
When the AD9974 is powered up, the following sequence is
recommended (see Figure 48 for each step).
6.
1.
2.
3.
4.
Turn on the power supplies for the AD9974 and apply CLI
clock. There is no required sequence for turning on each
supply.
Although the AD9974 contains an on-chip power-on reset,
a software reset of the internal registers is recommended.
Write 1 to the SW_RST register (Address 0x10) to reset all
the internal registers to their default values. This bit is selfclearing and automatically resets to 0.
Write to the desired registers to configure high speed timing
and horizontal timing. Note that all TESTMODE registers
must be written as described in the Complete Register
Listing section.
To place the part into normal power operation, write 0 to the
STANDBY and REFBUF_PWRDN registers (Address 0x00).
The Precision Timing core must be reset by writing 1 to the
TGCORE_RST register (Address 0x14). This starts the
internal timing core operation.
Write 1 to the OUT_CONTROL register (Address 0x11).
The next VD/HD falling edge allows register updates to occur,
including OUT_CONTROL, which enables all clock outputs.
Additional Restrictions
When operating, note the following restrictions:
•
•
The HD falling edge should be located in the same CLI
clock cycle as the VD falling edge or after the VD falling
edge. The HD falling edge should not be located between
one and five cycles prior to the VD falling edge.
If possible, perform all start-up serial writes with VD and
HD disabled. This prevents unknown behavior caused by
partial updating of registers before all information is loaded.
The internal horizontal counter is reset 12 CLI cycles after the
falling edge of HD. See Figure 49 for details on how the internal
counter is reset.

AD9974
STANDBY MODE OPERATION
The AD9974 contains two standby modes to optimize the
overall power dissipation in a particular application. Bit 1 and
Bit 0 of Address 0x00 control the power-down state of the device.
STANDBY[1:0] = 00 = normal operation (full power)
STANDBY[1:0] = 01 = reference standby mode
STANDBY[1:0] = 10 or 11 = total shutdown mode
(lowest power)
When returning from total shutdown mode to normal operation,
the timing core must be reset at least 100 μs after the STANDBY
register is written to.
There is an additional register to disable the internal voltage
reference buffer (Address 0x00[2]) independently. By default
the buffer is disabled, but it must be enabled for normal operation.
CLI FREQUENCY CHANGE
Table 20 summarizes the operation of each power-down mode.
The OUT_CONTROL register takes priority over the reference
standby mode in determining the digital output states, but total
shutdown mode takes priority over OUT_CONTROL. Total
shutdown mode has the lowest power consumption.
If the input clock, CLI, is interrupted or changes to a different
frequency, the timing core must be reset for proper operation.
After the CLI clock has settled to the new frequency, or the
previous frequency has resumed, write 0 and then 1 to the
TGCORE_RST register (Address 0x14). This guarantees proper
timing core operation.

AD9974
CIRCUIT CONFIGURATION
The AD9974 recommended circuit configuration is shown in
Figure 51. Achieving good image quality from the AD9974
requires careful attention to PCB layout. All signals should
be routed to maintain low noise performance. The CCD_A
and CCD_B output signals should be directly routed to Pin A1
and Pin A7, respectively, through a 0.1 μF capacitor. The master
clock, CLI_X, should be carefully routed to Pin A3 and Pin A9
to minimize interference with the CCDIN_X, REFT_X, and
REFB_X signals.
The digital outputs and clock inputs should be connected to the
digital ASIC away from the analog and CCD clock signals. Placing
series resistors close to the digital output pins may help reduce
digital code transition noise. If the digital outputs must drive
a load larger than 20 pF, buffering is recommended to minimize
additional noise. If the digital ASIC can accept gray code, the
outputs of the AD9974 can be selected to output data in gray
code format using Register 0x01[2]. Compared with binary
coding, gray coding helps reduce potential digital transition noise.
The H1_X to H4_X and RG_X traces should have low inductance
to avoid excessive distortion of the signals. Heavier traces are
recommended because of the large transient current demand
on H1_X to H4_X from the capacitive load of the CCD. If possible,
physically locating the AD9974 closer to the CCD reduces the
inductance on these lines. As always, the routing path should be
as direct as possible from the AD9974 to the CCD.
The CLI_X and CCDIN_X PCB traces should be carefully matched
in length and impedance to achieve optimal channel-to-channel
matching performance.
3 V System Compatibility
GROUNDING AND DECOUPLING
RECOMMENDATIONS
As shown in Figure 51, a single ground plane is recommended
for the AD9974. This ground plane needs to be as continuous as
possible, particularly around the P-type, AI-type, and A-type
pins to ensure that all analog decoupling capacitors provide the
lowest possible impedance path between the power and bypass
pins and their respective ground pins. All high frequency
decoupling capacitors need to be located as close as possible to
the package pins.
All the supply pins must be decoupled to ground with good
quality, high frequency chip capacitors. There also needs to be
a 4.7 μF or larger bypass capacitor for each main supply, that is,
AVDD, RGVDD, HVDD, and DRVDD, although this is not
necessary for each individual pin. In most applications, it is
easier to share the supply for RGVDD and HVDD, which can
be done as long as the individual supply pins are separately
bypassed. A separate 3 V supply can be used for DRVDD, but
this supply pin still needs to be decoupled to the same ground
plane as the rest of the chip. A separate ground for DRVSS is not
recommended.
The reference bypass pins (REFT, REFB) must be decoupled to
ground as close as possible to their respective pins. The bridge
capacitor between REFT and REFB is recommended for pixel
rates greater than 40 MHz. The analog input capacitor (CCDINM,
CCDINP) also needs to be located close to the pin.
The GND connections should be tied to the lowest impedance
ground plane on the PCB. Performance does not degrade if
several of these GND connections are left unconnected for
routing purposes.
The AD9974 typical circuit connections for a 3 V system are
shown in Figure 51. This application uses an external 3.3 V
supply connected to the IOVDD input of the AD0074, which
also serves as the LDO input. The LDO generates a 1.8 V output
for the AD9974 core supply voltages, AVDD and DVDD. The
LDOOUT pin can then be connected directly to the AVDD and
DVDD pins. In this configuration, the LDOEN pin is tied high
to enable the LDO.
Alternatively, a separate 1.8 V regulated supply voltage may be
used to power the AVDD and DVDD pins. In this case, the
LDOOUT pin needs to be left floating, and the LDOEN pin
needs to be grounded. A typical circuit configuration for a 1.8 V
system is shown in Figure 51.

AD9974
3-WIRE SERIAL INTERFACE TIMING
All of the internal registers of the AD9974 are accessed through
a 3-wire serial interface. Each register consists of a 12-bit address
and a 28-bit data-word. Both the 12-bit address and 28-bit dataword are written starting with the LSB. To write to each register,
a 40-bit operation is required, as shown in Figure 52. Although
many registers are fewer than 28 bits wide, all 28 bits must be
written for each register. For example, if the register is only 20 bits
wide, the upper eight bits are don’t cares and must be filled with
0s during the serial write operation. If fewer than 28 data bits
are written, the register is not updated with new data.
Figure 53 shows a more efficient way to write to the registers,
using the AD9974 address auto-increment capability. Using this
method, the lowest desired address is written first, followed by
multiple 28-bit data-words. Each new 28-bit data-word is
automatically written to the next highest register address. By
eliminating the need to write each 12-bit address, faster register
loading is achieved. Continuous write operations can be used,
starting with any register location.

1. SDATA BITS ARE LATCHED ON SCK RISING EDGES. SCK CAN IDLE HIGH OR LOW BETWEEN WRITE OPERATIONS.
2. ALL 40 BITS MUST BE WRITTEN: 12 BITS FOR ADDRESS AND 28 BITS FOR DATA.
3. IF THE REGISTER LENGTH IS <28 BITS, THEN ZEROS MUST BE USED TO COMPLETE THE 28-BIT DATA LENGTH.
4. NEW DATA VALUES ARE UPDATED IN THE SPECIFIED REGISTER LOCATION AT DIFFERENT TIMES, DEPENDING ON THE
PARTICULAR REGISTER WRITTEN TO. SEE THE UPDATING OF NEW REGISTER VALUES SECTION FOR MORE INFORMATION.

AD9974
LAYOUT OF INTERNAL REGISTERS
The AD9974 address space is divided into two register areas, as
shown in Figure 54. In the first area, Address 0x00 to Address 0x72
contain the registers for the AFE, miscellaneous functions, VD/HD
parameters, I/O control, mode control, timing core, and update
control functions. The second area of the address space, beginning
at Address 0x800, consists of the registers for the H-pattern groups
and fields. This is a configurable set of register spaces; the user
can decide how many H-patterns and fields are used in a particular
design. The AD9974 supports the use of up to 32 H-patterns.
Register 0x28 specifies the total number of H-pattern groups.
The starting address for the H-pattern groups is always 0x800.
The starting address for the field registers is determined by the
number of H-pattern groups. Each H-pattern group and field
occupies 16 register addresses.
The starting address for the field registers is based on the
number of H-pattern groups and is equal to 0x800 plus the
number of H-pattern groups times 16.
It is important to note that the H-pattern and field registers
must always occupy a continuous block of addresses.
Figure 55 shows an example when three H-pattern groups and
two fields are used. The starting address for the H-pattern groups
is always 0x800. Because HPATNUM is 3, the H-pattern groups
occupy 48 address locations (that is, 16 registers × 3 H-pattern
groups). The starting address of the field registers for this example
is 0x830 (that is, 0x800 + 48 (decimal)). Note that the decimal value
must be converted to a hex number before adding it to 0x800.
The AD9974 address space contains many unused addresses. Any
undefined addresses between Address 0x00 and Address 0x7FF
should not be written to; otherwise, the AD9974 may operate
incorrectly. Continuous register writes should be performed
carefully so that undefined registers are not written to.

UPDATING OF REGISTER VALUES
The internal registers of the AD9974 are updated at different
times, depending on the particular register.
Table 21 summarizes the three types of register updates. The
tables in the Complete Register Listing section also contain a
column with update type to identify when each register is updated.
•
SCK Updated—Some of the registers are updated immediately
as the 28th data bit (D27) is written. These registers are
used for functions that do not require gating with the next
VD boundary, such as power-up and reset functions.
•
VD Updated—Many of the registers are updated at the
next VD falling edge. By updating these values at the next
VD edge, the current field is not corrupted, and the new
register values are applied to the next field. The VD update
can be further delayed past the VD falling edge by using
UPDATE Register Address 0x17. This delays the VD-updated
register updates to any HD line in the field. Note that the
field registers are not affected by the UPDATE register.
SCP Updated—All of the H-pattern group registers are
updated at the next SCP when they are used.
Table 21. Register Update Types

SCK Updated
VD Updated
SCP Updated
Description
Register is immediately updated when the 28th data bit (D27) is clocked in.
Register is updated at the VD falling edge. VD-updated registers can be delayed further by using the UPDATE register at
Address 0x17. Field registers are not affected by the UPDATE register.
Register is updated at the next SCP when the register is used.

COMPLETE REGISTER LISTING
All addresses and default values are expressed in hexadecimal. When an address contains less than 28 data bits, all remaining bits must be
written as 0s. All TESTMODE registers must be set to the specified values.
