Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is functional,
but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characte ristics. The guaranteed specifications apply
only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the list ed test conditions.
Note 2: All voltages are measured with respect to GND=AGND=DGND=0V, unless otherwise specified.
Note 3: When the input voltage (VIN ) at any pin exceeds the power supplies (VIN<GND or VIN>VA or VD), the current at that pin should be limited to 25mA.
maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can simultaneously safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 25mA to two.
The 50m
Note 4: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJmax, Θ JA and the ambient temperature, TA . The maximum allowable power dissipation at any temperature is P D = (T Jmax - TA ) / Θ JA. T Jmax = 150°C for this device. The typical thermal resistance ( Θ JA) of this part when board mounted
is 69°C/W for the M28B SOIC package .
Note 5: Human body model, 100pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5k Ω resistor. Machine model, 200 pF capacitor discharged through a 0Ω resistor.
Note 6: See AN450 “Surface Mounting Methods and Their Effect on Product Reliability” or the section titled “Surface Mount” found in any National Semiconductor Linear
Data Book for other methods of soldering surface mount devices.
Note 7: Two diodes clamp the OS analog inputs to AGND and VA as shown below. This input protection, in combination with the external clamp capacitor and the output
impedance of the sensor, prevents damage to the LM9822 from transients during power-up.

Note 8: To guarantee accuracy, it is required that VA and VD be connected to clean, low noise power supplies, with separate bypass capacitors at each supply pin. When
both VA and V D are operated at 5.0V, they must be powered by the same regulator, with separate power planes or traces and separate bypass capacitors at each supply pin.

Note 9: Typicals are at T J =TA=25°C, f MCLK = 12MHz, and represent most likely parametric norm.
Note 10: Tested limits are guaranteed to National's AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
Note 11: Full channel integral non-linearity error is defined as the deviation of the analog value, expressed in LSBs, from the straight line that best fits the actual transfer
function of the AFE.
Note 12: The sensor’s maximum peak differential signal range is defined as the peak sensor output voltage for a white (full scale) image, with respect to the dark reference
level.

Note 14: Full Channel INL and DNL are tested with CDS disabled, negative signal polarity, DOE = 0, and a single OS input with a gain register setting of 1 (000001b) and
an offset register setting of 0 (000000b).
Note 15: The digital supply current (ID) does not include the load, data and switching frequency dependent current required to drive the digital output bus on pins (D7 - D0).
The current required to switch the digital data bus can be calculated from: Isw = 2*Nd*Psw*CL*V D /tMCLK where Nd is total number of data pins, Psw is the probability of
each data bit switching, CL is the capacitive loading on each data pin, V D is the digital supply voltage and t MCLK is the period of the MCLK input. For most applications, Nd
is 8, Psw is ≈ 0.5, and V D is 5V, and the switching current can be calculated from: Isw = 40*CL/tMCLK. (With D at 3.3V, the equation becomes: Isw = 26.4*CL/t MCLK.) For
example, if the capacitive load on each digital output pin (D7 - D0) is 20pF and the period of t MCLK is 1/12MHz or 83ns, then the digital switching current would be 9.6mA.
The calculated digital switching current will be drawn through the V D pin and should be considered as part of the total power budget for the LM9822.
Note 16: All specifications quoted in LSBs are based on 12 bit resolution.

Note: The LM9822 provides 14-bit data for high resolution imaging applications. The typical full channel device performance is shown
in the above graphs. In many applications, particularly those where high speed is important, or where lower cost CCD and CIS sensors
are used, the signal source is only accurate to 12 bits. In these applications, only 12-bit of data may be used. 12-bit DNL and INL plots
have also been provided to illustrate the performance of the LM9822 in these applications.

Pin Descriptions
Analog Power
VA
The two A pins are the analog supply pins.
They should be connected to a voltage
source of +5V and bypassed to AGND with a
0.1µF monolithic capacitor in parallel with a
10µF tantalum capacitor.
AGND
These two pins are the ground returns for
the analog supplies.
VD
This is the positive supply pin for the digital
I/O pins. It should be connected to a voltage
source between +3.3V and +5.0V and be
bypassed to DGND with a 0.1µF monolithic
capacitor in parallel with a 10µF tantalum
capacitor.
DGND
Data Output
D7-D0
Data Output pins. The 14 bit conversion
results of the ADC are multiplexed in 8 bit
bytes to D7-D0 synchronous with MCLK.
The MSB consists of data bits d13-d6 on
pins D7-D0 and the LSB consists of d5-d0
on pins D7-D3 with D1 and D0 low.
Serial Input/Output
SCLK
Serial Shift Clock. Input data on SDI is valid
on the rising edge of SCLK. The minimum
SCLK period is 1 tMCLK.
SDO
Serial Data Output. Data bits are shifted out
of SDO on falling edges of SCLK. The first
eight falling edges of SCLK after SEN goes
low will shift out eight data bits (MSB first)
from the configuration register addressed
during the previous SEN low time.
SDI
Serial Data Input. A read/write bit, followed
by a four address bits and eight data bits is
shifted into SDI, MSB first. Data should be
valid on the rising edge of SCLK. If the
read/write bit is a “0” (a write), then the
shifted data bits will be stored. If the
read/write bit is a “1” (a read), then the data
bits will be ignored, and SDO will shift out
the addressed register’s contents during the
next SEN low time.
SEN
Shift enable and load signal. When SEN is
low, data is shifted into SDI. When SEN
goes high, the last thirteen bits (one
read/write, four address and eight data)
shifted into SDI will be used to program the
addressed configuration register. SEN must
be high for at least 3 MCLK cycles between
SEN low times.
This is the ground return for the digital supply.
Analog Input/Output
OSR, OSG, OSB
VREF+, VREFMID,
VREF-
Analog Inputs. These inputs (for Red,
Green, and Blue) should be tied to the sensor’s OS (Output Signal) through DC blocking capacitors.
Voltage reference bypass pins. VREF+,
VREFMID, and VREF- should each be
bypassed to AGND through a 0.1uF monolithic capacitor.
Timing Control
MCLK
Master clock input. The ADC conversion
rate will be 1/2 of MCLK. 12MHz is the maximum frequency for MCLK.
VSMP
Sample timing input signal. If VSMP is high
on the rising edge of MCLK, the input is
sampled on the rising edge of the next
MCLK. The reference signal for the next
pixel will be sampled one to four MCLKs
later, depending on the value in the
CDSREF configuration bits. If CDS is not
enabled, the internal reference will be sampled during the reference sample time.
Connection Diagram
The number of MCLK cycles between
VSMP pulses determines the pixel rate.
Timing Diagrams 1 through 6 illustrate the
VSMP timings for all the valid pixel rates.

Note: See the applications section of the
datasheet for the proper timing relationships

CLMP
VREF+
OSG
VREF-
Clamp timing input. If CLMP and VSMP are
high on the rising edge of MCLK, all three
OS inputs will be internally connected to
VCLAMP during the next pixel. VCLAMP is either
VREF+ or VREF- depending on the state of
the Signal Polarity bit in the Sample Mode
register (Reg. 0, Bit 4).

of Q1, and other sources of error. When the shift register clock
(Ø1) makes a low to high transition (period 4), the electrons from
the next pixel flow into C1. The charge across C1 now contains
the voltage proportional to the number of electrons plus V RESIDUAL, an error term. If OS is sampled at the end of period 3 and
that voltage is subtracted from the OS at the end of period 4, the
VRESIDUAL term is canceled and the noise on the signal is
reduced ([V SIGNAL+VRESIDUAL]-VRESIDUAL = VSIGNAL). This is the
principal of Correlated Double Sampling.
1.0 Introduction
The LM9822 is a high performance scanner Analog Font End
(AFE) for image sensor processing systems. It is designed to
work with color CCD and CIS image sensors and provides a full 3
channel sampling, gain and offset correction system, coupled
with a 14 bit high speed analog to digital converter. A typical
application of the LM9822 is in a color flatbed document scanner.
The image sensing and processing portion of the system would
be configured similar to that shown in Figure 1.
3.0 CIS Mode (CDS Off, Selectable Signal Polarity)
The also LM9822 supports CIS (Contact Image Sensor) devices.
The output signal of a CIS sensor (Figure 3) differs from a CCD
signal in two primary ways: its output usually increases with
increasing signal strength, and it does not usually have a reference level as an integral part of the output waveform of every
pixel.

The LM9822 uses a high-performance CDS (Correlated Double

the image sensor output signal. It also supports CIS image sensors with a single ended sampling mode.

Figure 3: CIS
When the LM9822 is in CIS (CDS off) mode (Register 0, B5=1), it
uses either VREF+ or VREF- as the reference (or black) voltage for
each pixel (depending on the signal polarity setting (Register 0,
Bit 4)). If the signal polarity is set to one, then VREF- will be sampled as the reference level. If it is set to zero, then VREF+ will be
sampled as the reference level.

The output of the Sampler drives the input of the x3 Boost gain
stage. The gain of each x3 Boost gain is 3V/V if bit B5 of that
color’s gain register (register 4,5, or 6) is set, or 1V/V if bit B5 is
cleared. The output of each x3 gain stage is the input an offset
DAC and the output of each offset DAC is the input to a PGA
(Programmable Gain Amplifier). Each PGA provides 5 bits of gain
correction over a 0.93V/V to 3V/V (-0.6 to 9.5dB) range. The x3
Boost gain stage and the PGA can be combined for an overall
gain range of 0.93V/V to 9.0V/V (-.6 to 19dB). The gain setting for
each color (registers 4, 5 and 6) should be set during calibration
to bring the maximum amplitude of the strongest pixel to a level
just below the desired maximum output from the ADC. The PGA
gain is determined by the following equation:

Capacitor C1 converts the electrons coming from the CCD’s shift
register to an analog voltage. The source follower output stage
(Q2) buffers this voltage before it leaves the CCD. Q1 resets the
voltage across capacitor C1 between pixels at intervals 2 and 5.
When Q1 is on, the output signal (OS) is at its most positive voltage. After Q1 turns off (period 3), the OS level represents the
residual voltage across C1 (VRESIDUAL ). VRESIDUAL includes
charge injection from Q1, thermal noise from the ON resistance
If the x3 Boost gain is enabled then the overall signal gain will be
three times the PGA gain.

5.0 Offset DAC
6.0 Clamping
The Offset DACs remove the DC offsets generated by the sensor
and the LM9822’s analog signal chain (see section 5.1, Internal
Offsets). The DAC value for each color (registers 1,2 and 3)
should be set during calibration to the lowest value that still
results in an ADC output code greater than zero for all the pixels
when scanning a black line. With a PGA gain of 1V/V, each LSB
of the offset DAC typically adds the equivalent of 20 ADC LSBs,
providing a total offset adjustment range of ±590 ADC LSBs. The
Offset DAC’s output voltage is given by:
To perform a DC restore across the AC coupling capacitors at the
beginning of every line, the LM9822 implements a clamping function. The clamping function is initiated by asserting the CLMP
input. If CLMP and VSMP are both high on a rising edge of
MCLK, all three OS inputs will be internally connected to VREF+ or
VREF- during the next pixel, depending on bit 4 of register 0. If bit 4
is set to one (positive signal polarity), then the OS input will be
connected to VREF-. If bit 4 is set to zero (negative signal polarity),
then it will be connected to VREF+.
V DAC = 9.75mV • (value in B4 - B0)
6.1 Clamp Capacitor Selection
Equation 2: Offset DAC Output Voltage
In terms of 12 bit output codes, the offset is given by:
The output signal of many sensors rides on a DC offset (greater
than 5V for many CCDs) which is incompatible with the LM9822’s
5V operation. To eliminate this offset without resorting to additional higher voltage components, the output of the sensor is AC
coupled to the LM9822 through a DC blocking capacitor, C CLAMP.
The sensor’s DOS output, if available, is not used. The value of
this capacitor is determined by the leakage current of the
LM9822’s OS input and the output impedance of the sensor. The
leakage through the OS input determines how quickly the capacitor value will drift from the clamp value of VREF+ or VREF-, which
then determines how many pixels can be processed before the
droop causes errors in the conversion (±0.1V is the recommended limit for CDS operation). The output impedance of the
sensor determines how quickly the capacitor can be charged to
the clamp value during the black reference period at the beginning of every line.
Offse = t20L SBs(value
•
in B4 - B0) • PGA Gain
Equation 3: Offset in ADC Output Codes
The offset is positive if bit B5 is cleared and negative if B5 is set.
Since the analog offset is added before the PGA gain, the value
of the PGA gain must be considered when selecting the offset
DAC values.
5.1 Internal Offsets
Figure 4 is a model of the LM9822’s internal offsets. Equation 4
shows how to calculate the expected output code given the input
voltage (V IN), the LM9822 internal offsets ( OS1, VOS2, VOS3),
the programmed offset DAC voltage (V DAC), the programmed
gains (GB, GPGA) and the analog channel gain constant C.
The minimum clamp capacitor value is determined by the maximum droop the LM9822 can tolerate while converting one sensor
line. The minimum clamp capacitor value is much smaller for CDS
mode applications than it is for CIS mode applications.
C is a constant that combines the gain error through the AFE, reference voltage variance, and analog voltage to digital code conversion into one constant. Ideally, C = 2048 codes/V (4096
codes/2V) in 12 bit LSBs. Manufacturing tolerances widen the
range of C (see Electrical Specifications).

The LM9822 input current is considerably less when the LM9822
is operating in CDS mode. In CDS mode, the LM9822 average
input current is no more than 25nA. With CDS disabled, which will
likely be the case when CIS sensors are used, the LM9822 input
impedance will be 1/(f Sample*CS). where fSample is the sample

6.1.1 CDS mode Minimum Clamp Capacitor Calculation:
sample reference time, if SMPCL=1, the clamps are on immediately after the sample reference time. If the LM9822 is operated
in Divide By 2 mode, then the clamp is on 50% of the time when
CLMP is high. In this case the available charge time per line can
be calculated using:
The following equation takes the maximum leakage current into
the OS input, the maximum allowable droop, the number of pixels
on the sensor, and the pixel conversion rate, fVSMP, and provides
the minimum clamp capacitor value:
Number of optical black pixels
t CLAMP = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------2f VSMP
i
C CLAMP MIN = --------- dt
dV
leakage current (A) number of pixel
= --------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------max droop(V)
f VSMP
Equation 12: Clamp Time Per Line Calculation
For example, if a sensor has 18 black reference pixels and f VSMP
is 2MHz with a 50% duty cycle, then t CLAMP is 4.5µs. Other
“Divide By” modes will have lower or higher clamp duty cycles
accordingly, depending on the SMPCL setting. See Diagram 8,
Clamp Timing With SMPCL = 0 and Diagram 9, Clamp Timing
With SMPCL = 1.
The following equation takes the number of optical black pixels,
the amount of time (per pixel) that the clamp is closed, the sensor’s output impedance, and the desired accuracy of the final
clamp voltage and provides the maximum clamp capacitor value
that allows the clamp capacitor to settle to the desired accuracy
within a single line:
Equation 6: CDS mode CCLAMP MIN Calculation
For example, if the OS input leakage current is 25nA worst-case,
the sensor has 2700 active pixels, the conversion rate is 2MHz
(tVSMP = 500ns), and the max droop desired is 0.1V, the minimum
clamp capacitor value is:

6.1.2 CIS mode Minimum Clamp Capacitor Calculation:
If CDS is disabled, then the maximum LM9822 OS input leakage
current can be calculated from:
I leakage = VSAT f SampCLK C SAMP
Equation 8: CIS mode Input Leakage Current Calculation
Where tCLAMP is the amount of time (per line) that the clamp is
on, R CLAMP is the output impedance of the CCD plus 50Ω for the
LM9822 internal clamp switch, and accuracy is the ratio of the
worst-case initial capacitor voltage to the desired final capacitor
voltage. If tCLAMP is 4.5µs, the output impedance of the sensor is
1500Ω, the worst case voltage change required across the capacitor (before the first line) is 5V, and the desired accuracy after
clamping is to within 0.1V (accuracy = 5/0.1 = 50), then:
4.5µs 1
C

Equation 14: CCLAMP MAX Example
The final value for C CLAMP should be less than or equal to
CCLAMP MAX, but no less than C CLAMP MIN.
where V SAT is the peak pixel signal swing of the CIS OS output
and CSAMP is the capacitance of the LM9822 internal sampling
capacitor (2pF). Inserting this into Equation 6 results in:

maximum input signal), then Equation 9 reduces to:
C
CLAMP MIN
CLAMP MAX
4p(F)(V)
= ------------------------------------ num pixels
max droop(V)
Equation 10: CIS mode C CLAMP MIN Calculation
In some cases, depending primarily on the choice of sensor,
CCLAMP MAX may actually be less than C CLAMP MIN, meaning that
the capacitor can not be charged to its final voltage during the
black pixels at the beginning of a line and hold it’s voltage without
drooping for the duration of that line. This is usually not a problem
because in most applications the sensor is clocked continuously
as soon as power is applied. In this case, a larger capacitor can
be used (guaranteeing that the C CLAMP MIN requirement is met),
and the final clamp voltage is forced across the capacitor over
multiple lines. This equation calculates how many lines are
required before the capacitor settles to the desired accuracy:
C CLAMP

Initial Error Voltag

 CLAMP -------------------------  ln  ----------------------------------------------------
Final Error Voltag


In CIS mode (CDS disabled), the max droop limit must be much
more carefully chosen, since any change in the clamp capacitor’s
DC value will affect the LM9822 conversion results. If a droop of
one 10 bit LSB across a line is considered acceptable, then the
allowed droop voltage is calculated as: 2V/1024, or approximately
2mV. If there are 2700 active pixels on a line then:

Equation 16: Clamping Lines Required Example
The maximum size of the clamp capacitor is determined by the
amount of time available to charge it to the desired value during
the optical black portion of the sensor output. The internal clamp
occurs when CLMP and VSMP are both high on a rising edge of
MCLK. If SMPCL=0, the clamps are on immediately before the

Applications Information (Continued)
In this example, a 0.01µF capacitor takes 14 lines after power-up
to charge to its final value. On subsequent lines, the only error will
be the droop across a single line which should be significantly
less than the initial error. If the LM9822 is operating in CDS
mode and multiple lines are used to charge up the clamping
capacitors after power-up, then a clamp capacitor value of
0.01µF should be significantly greater than the calculated
CCLAMP MIN value and can virtually always be used.
9.1 Output Driver Mode
The Output Driver Mode bit is normal set to 0. This bit can be set
to 1 to reduce the slew rate of the output drivers.
9.2 DOE (Data Output Edge) Setting
The Data Output Edge bit selects which edge of MCLK is used to
clock output data onto the output pins. For lowest noise performance, this bit should be set to 0. With this setting, new data is
placed on the D7-D0 pins on every falling edge of MCLK. See
Diagrams 1 through 6 and Diagram 13 for more information on
data output timing for the different Divide By modes, and detailed
timing of the output data signals.
If the LM9822 is operating in CIS mode, then significantly larger
clamp capacitors must be used. Fortunately, the output impedance of most CIS sensors is significantly smaller than the output
impedance of CCD sensors, and R CLAMP will be dominated by
the 50Ω from the LM9822 internal clamp switch. With a smaller
RCLAMP value, the clamp capacitors will charge faster.
The bit can be set to 1 to adjust the data output timing for some
applications, but the noise performance of the LM9822 may be
somewhat degraded.
7.0 Power Supply Considerations
The LM9822 analog supplies ( A) should be powered by a single
+5V source. The two analog supplies are brought out individually
to allow separate bypassing for each supply input. They should
not be powered by two or more different supplies.
9.3 CDS Enable
Each supply input should be bypassed to its respective ground
with a 0.1µF capacitor located as close as possible to the supply
input pin. A single 10µF tantalum capacitor should be placed near
the VA supply pins to provide low frequency bypassing.
The CDS Enable bit determines whether the sampling section of
the LM9822 operates in Correlated Double Sampling mode or in
Single Ended Sampling mode. CDS mode is normally used with
CCD type sensors, while Single Ended mode is normally used
with CIS type sensors.
9.4 Signal Polarity
Whether the LM9822 is operating in Correlated Double Sampling
Mode, or Single Ended Sampling mode, the basic sampling operation is the same. First a reference level is sampled, then a signal
level is sampled. For CDS mode operation, if the signal level is
lower in voltage than the reference level, the Signal Polarity bit
should be set to 0. This is the normal setting for CCD type sensors. If the signal level is more positive than the reference level,
the Signal Polarity bit would be set to 1 for Positive Polarity mode.
The V D input can be powered at 3.3V or 5.0V. Power should be
supplied by a clean, low noise linear power supply, with a 0.1 µF
ceramic capacitor and a 10 µF tantalum capacitor placed near the
VD and DGND pins. If possible, a separate power and ground
plane should be provided to isolate the noisy digital output signals
from the sensitive analog supply pins. If the V D voltage is lower
than VA, a separate linear regulator should be used. If V D and A
are both at 5.0V, then they should be supplied by a common linear regulator, with separate analog and digital power and ground
planes.
When Single Ended Mode is selected, the Signal Polarity bit
determines which internal reference voltage is used to compare
with the input signal. Most CIS type sensors have a positive polarity type output, and in this case the Signal Polarity Bit should be
set to 1. In this case, the internal VREF- is used as the reference
level during the Reference Sampling period.
To minimize noise, keep the LM9822 and all analog components
as far as possible from noise generators, such as switching power
supplies and high frequency digital busses. If possible, isolate all
the analog components and signals (OS, reference inputs and
outputs, A, AGND) on an analog ground plane, separate from
the digital ground plane. The two ground planes should be tied
together at a single point, preferably the point where the power
supply enters the PCB.
In addition, the Signal Polarity bit determines which internal reference voltage is used during the Clamping interval. If Signal Polarity = 0, V REF+ is used for clamping, if Signal Polarity = 1, V REF- is
used.
8.0 Serial Interface and Configuration Registers
9.5 SMPCL
The serial interface is used to program the configuration registers
which control the operation of the LM9822. The SEN, SCLK, SDI
and SDO signals are used to set and verify configuration register
settings. In addition, MCLK must be active during all serial interface activity. MCLK is used to register the level of the SEN input
and drives the logic that process information input on the SDI line.
The SMPCL setting controls when the clamping action occurs
during the acquisition cycle. If SMPCL is set to 0, the Clamp will
be on for 1 MCLK before the reference sampling point. If SMPCL
is set to 1, clamping will occur in the interval after the reference
sampling point, and before the signal sampling point. In this case,
the clamping time is dependent on the present “Divide By” mode,
and the settings of the CDSREF bits.
9.0 Sample Mode Register Settings
A brief overview of the sample mode register and the bit locations
is give in Table 2: Configuration Register Parameters on page
14. The function of each bit is summarized in the following sections.
9.6 CDSREF
The CDSREF setting is provided to allow adjustable sampling
points for the reference sample at the higher “Divide By” modes.
This may be useful to optimize the timing of the Reference Sam20

pling point for particular CCD sensors. Diagram 7 shows how the
various settings of CDSREF can be used to delay the Reference
Sampling point. Care must be taken to avoid setting CDSREF to
an inappropriate value when operating in the lower “Divide By”
modes.
Valid CDSREF settings are:

To clamp across multiple pixels in a row, CLMP can be set high
and remain there for the entire number of pixels to be clamped,
then returned to the low state for normal (signal) operation. This
may simplify the timing required to generate the CLMP signal.
10.2 MCLK and VSMP Timing
The relationship between VSMP and MCLK is used to determine
the 'Divide By' mode that is presently being used with the part.
Valid 'Divide By' settings are:
Color - /8, /6
Monochrome - /8, /6, /3, /2
9.7 PD (Power Down) Mode
When entering a new mode, it is important to provide consistent
MCLK/VSMP timing signals that meet the following condition.
When switching to a new 'Divide By' mode, VSMP should be held
low for a minimum of 3 MCLK cycles, then valid timing according
to the datasheet diagrams for the particular mode should be
started. This ensures that all internal circuitry is properly synchronized to the new conversion 'Divide By' mode being used. If the
timing relationship between VSMP and MCLK is disturbed for any
reason, the same procedure should be used before restarting
operation in the chosen 'Divide By' mode.
A Power Down bit is provided to configure the LM9822 in a lower
power “StandBy” mode. In this mode, typical power consumption
is reduced to less than 1% of normal operating power. The serial
interface is still active, but the majority of the analog and digital
circuitry is powered down.
10.0 LM9822 Basic Operation
The normal operational sequence when using the LM9822 is as
follows:
Immediately after applying power, all configuration registers are
reset to default settings. MCLK should be applied, and the appropriate values written to the registers using the procedure discussed in section 8.0 Serial Interface and Configuration Registers
on page 20 and detailed in Diagrams 10, 11 and 12. Once the
configuration registers are loaded, the timing control signals can
be applied at the proper rates for the mode of conversion desired.
MCLK is applied initially with VSMP and CLMP low. After at least
3 MCLKS, VSMP and CLMP signals can begin. The Divide By
mode is determined by the ratio of MCLK to VSMP frequency as
described in section 10.2.
For example: To change from monochrome Divide By 3 mode to
monochrome Divide By 2 mode, VSMP should be held low for at
least 3 MCLK cycles, then VSMP can be brought high using
"Divide By 2" timing. If VSMP is not low for at least 3 MCLKs, the
LM9822 may enter an unknown mode.

Divide by 3
14-Bit conversion results are placed on the data output pins as
follows: The upper 8 bits are output first with bit 13 of the ADC on
D7 and the bit 6 of the ADC on D0. The lower 6 bits are then output with bit 5 of the ADC on D7 and bit 0 of the ADC on D2. D0
and D1 are always 0 when the lower 6 bits of data are being output. The exact timing and conversion latency of the output data is
affected by the settings of the DOE variable in the Sample Mode
register, and the Divide By mode of operation. If DOE = 0 (recommended setting for best performance), output data will change on
the falling edge of MCLK. If DOE = 1, output data is updated on
the rising edge of MCLK. See Diagrams 1 through 6 and Diagram
13 for more information on data output timing.

10.1 CLMP Operation
The CLMP signal is used to engage the LM9822 internal clamp
circuits at the proper time during the CCD or CIS data output
cycle. If both CLMP and VSMP are high on a rising edge of
MCLK, then CLMP will be applied during the next pixel. The exact
timing of the internal Clamp signal is determined by the Divide By
mode of operation and the setting of the SMPCL variable in the
Sample Mode register. If SMPCL = 0, then the Clamp is on for 1
