GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRD98L23 is a complete linear CIS or CCD sensor
signal processor on a single monolithic chip. The
XRD98L23 includes a high speed 8-bit resolution ADC,
a 6-bit Programmable Gain Amplifier with gain adjustment of 1 to 10, and a typical 8-bit programmable input
referred offset calibration range of 480mV.
In the CCD configuration the input signal is AC coupled
with an external capacitor. An internal clamp sets the
black level. In the CIS configuration, the clamp switch
can be disabled and the CIS output signal is DC
coupled from the CIS sensor to the XRD98L23. The
CIS signal is level shifted to VRB in order to use the full
range of the ADC. In the CIS configuration the input can
also be AC coupled similar to the CCD configuration.
This enables CIS signals with large black levels to be
internally clamped to a DC reference equal to the black
level. The DC reference is internally subtracted from
the input signal.
The CIS configuration can also be used in other
applications that do not require CDS function, such as
low cost data acquisition.

System performance is specified for typical digital system timing specifications.
Note 2:
The actual minimum ‘tclpw’ is dependent on the external capacitor value, the CIS output impedance.
During ‘clamp’ operation, sufficient time needs to be allowed for the external capacitor to charge up to the
correct operating level. Refer to the description in Theory of Operation, CIS Config.

THEORY OF OPERATION
CIS Configuration (Contact Image Sensor)
The XRD98L23 has two configurations for CIS applications. Each configuration is set by the control registers
accessed through the serial port.
Mode 1. DC Coupled
If the CIS does not have leading or trailing black pixels as shown in Figure 2, then DC couple the CIS output to the
XRD98L23 input.
Optically Shielded
Valid Pixels
Pixels
Figure 2. Typical Output CIS Mode
Adjust the offset of the CIS (-60 mV to 300 mV) by setting the internal registers of the XRD98L23 to set the black
pixel value when the LEDs of the CIS are off. When the LEDs are on, use the XRD98L23 Programmable Gain to
maximize the ADCs dynamic range. Figure 3 shows a typical application for a CIS with an offset of -60mV to 300mV.

Figure 3. Application with Offset in the Range (-60mv to 300mv)
The input is added to VRB before the signal passes
through the ADC. If the CIS output is zero, then the
output of the ADC will be zero code. This enables the
CIS to be referenced to the bottom ladder reference
voltage to use the full range of the ADC.
offset range of the XRD98L23 (see Offset Control DAC,
Pg. 27) set the internal mode registers to external
reference. An external reference voltage equal to the
value of the CIS offset voltage can be applied to
VDCEXT (Figure 4) in order to meet the dynamic range
of the XRD98L23. Figure 4 is a diagram of the
XRD98L23 in the external reference mode for CIS, DC
coupled applications.
Some CIS sensors have an output with an offset voltage
of greater than 300mV. If the CIS output is beyond the

Internal CIS Reference Circuit (DB 4 = 1)
The XRD98L23 has an internal register reserved for
interfacing to the Canon CIS model number CVA60216K. When this register is selected, the VDCEXT
(Pin 16) becomes an output voltage of 1.24 volts. This
voltage can be directly connected to the VREF (Pin 5)
of the Canon sensor. This reduces the amount of
components needed for biasing the Canon CIS sensor
(the external diodes and resistors typically used in this
application have been included inside the XRD98L23
for this mode of operation). Below is a typical application circuit using the XRD98L23 and the Canon CVA60216K CIS sensor.

CIS Line-By-Line Rotating Gain and Offset
(Configuration DB1 = 1, DB0 = 1)
Line-by-line rotating gain and offset minimizes the
amount of write cycles per scan. Pre-loaded values of
gain and offset can be loaded for each color before the
first line is scanned. Each gain and offset is cycled
through line-by-line so that the gain and offset do not
have to be loaded in between lines. Below is the typical
application circuit and timing for this configuration.

CCD Configuration (Charge Coupled Device)
Mode 1. AC Coupled
When CLAMP (clamp) pin is set high an internal switch
allows one side of the external capacitor to be set to
VRT (Figure 13). This value corresponds to the black
reference of the CCD. When the CLAMP pin is set back
to low, the ADC samples the video signal with respect
to the black reference. The difference between the
black reference and the video signal is the actual pixel
value of the video content. Since this value is referenced to the top ladder reference voltage of the ADC a
zero input signal would yield a full scale output code.
Therefore, the output of the conversion is inverted
(internally) to correspond to zero scale output code.
In the CCD configuration of operation, an external
capacitor needs to be chosen according to the equations below. The typical value for the external capacitor
is 100pF. This value should be adjusted according to
the time constant (Tc) needed in a particular application. The CLAMP pin has an internal 180 ohm impedance (RINT) which is in series with the external capacitor
(CEXT).
Therefore, Tc =1/RINTCEXT
If the input to the external capacitor has a load impedance (REXT), then
Tc=1/(RINT+REXT)CEXT

always adjusted for the highest color intensity.
Figure 13, is a block diagram for applications with Area
or Linear CCDs (The timing for Area CCDs and B/W
CCDs is the same). For Area or Linear CCD applications, a global offset is loaded into the serial port at the
beginning of a line. The gain is set to adjust for the

Offset Control DAC

The offset DAC is controlled by 8-bits. The offset range
is 480 mV ranging from -120 mV to +300 mV (when DB5
is set to 0) and -240 mV to +240 mV (when DB5 is set
to 1). Therefore, the resolution of the 8-bit offset DAC
is 1.88 mV. However, the XRD98L23 has +/- 60 mV
reserved for internal offsets. Therefore, the effective
range for adjusting for CIS offsets or black reference is
300 mV. The offset adjustment is used primarily to
correct for the difference between the black level of the
image sensor and the bottom ladder reference voltage
(VRB) of the ADC. By adjusting the black level to
correspond to VRB, the entire range of the ADC can be
used.

CODE
Figure 21. Transfer Curve for the 6-Bit PGA
After the signal is level shifted to correspond with the
bottom ladder reference voltage, the system can be
calibrated such that a white video pixel can represent
the top ladder reference voltage to the ADC. This allows
for a full scale conversion maximizing the resolution of
the ADC.
If the offset of the CIS output is greater than 300 mV an
external reference can be applied to VDCEXT. The
external reference can be used to adjust for large
offsets only when the internal mode is configured
through the serial port.
Analog to Digital Converter
The ADC is an 8-bit, 10 MSPS analog-to-digital converter for high speed and high accuracy. The ADC uses
a subranging architecture to maintain low power consumption at high conversion rates. The output of the
ADC is on 8-bit databus. ADCCLK samples the input
on its falling edge. After the input is sampled, the data
is latched to the output drivers. On the rising edge of
the ADCCLK, invalid data is latched to the output
drivers. There is an 8 clock cycle latency (Config 00,
11) or 6 pixel count latency (Config 01, 10) for the
analog-to-digital converter.
Since the offset DAC adjustment is done before the
gain stage, it is gain-dependent. For example, if the
gain needs to be changed between lines (red to blue,
etc.), the offset is calibrated before the signal passes
through the PGA.
PGA (Programmable Gain Amplifier) DAC
The gain of the input waveform is controlled by a 6-Bit
PGA. The PGA is used along with the offset DAC for
the purpose of using the entire range of the ADC. The
PGA has a linear gain from 1 to 10. Figure 20, is a plot
of the transfer curve for the PGA gain.
The VRT and VRB reference voltages for the ADC are
generated internally, unless the external VRT is selected. In the external VRT mode, the VRT voltage is set
through the VREF+ pin. This allows the user to select
the dynamic range of the ADC.

Serial Load Control Registers
The first three MSBs choose which internal register will
be selected. The remaining 8 LSBs contain the data
needed for programming the internal register for a
particular configuration.
The serial load registers are controlled by a three wire
serial interface through the bi-directional parallel port to
reduce the pin count of this device. When SYNCH is set
to high, the output bus is tri-stated and the serial
interface is activated. DB7/LD, DB5/SCLK and DB6/
SDATA are the three input signals that control this
process. The DB7/LD signal is set low to initiate the
loading of the internal registers.
Power-Up State of the Internal Registers
The control register settings upon initial power-up are
for CIS, DC Coupled configuration (VRT is set to internal,
Input DC Reference=AGND and the input to the ADC is
selected through the RED channel). Gain is unity and
Offset is set to zero. The test modes are disabled in the
power-up state.
There are internal registers that are accessed via an 11bit data string. Data is shifted in on the rising edge of
SCLK and loaded to the registers on the rising edge of
LD. The data on pin DB6/SDATA is latched automatically after eleven DB5/SCLKs have been counted. If
eleven clocks are not present on DB5/SCLK before the
DB7/LD signal returns high, no data will be loaded into
the internal registers. If more than 11 clocks are
present on DB5/SCLK, the additional clocks will be
ignored. The data corresponding to the first eleven
DB5/SCLKs will be loaded only.
