7 AI9943 terminology 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 10-bit resolution indicates that all 1024 codes, respectively, must be present over all operating conditions. peak nonlinearity peak nonlinearity, a full-signal chain specification, refers to the peak deviation of the output of the AI9943 from a true straight line. the point used as zero scale occurs 1/2 lsb before the first code transition. positive full scale is defined as a level 1 1/2 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?s full-scale range. 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 / 2 n codes ) where n is the bit resolution of the adc. for example, 1 lsb of the AI9943 is 1.95 mv power supply rejection (psr) the psr is measured with a step change applied to the supply pins. this represents a very high frequency disturbance on the AI9943?s power supply. the psr specification is calculated from the change in the data outputs for a given step change in the supply voltage. internal delay for shp/shd the internal delay (also called aperture delay) is the time delay that occurs from the time a sampling edge is applied to the AI9943 until the actual sample of the input signal is held. both shp and shd sample the input signal during the transition from low to high, so the internal delay is measured from each clock?s rising edge to the instant the actual internal sample is taken.

11 AI9943 serial interface note: 1. sdata bits are internally latched on the rising edges of sck. 2. system update of loaded registers occurs on sl rising edge. 3. all 12 data bits d0-d11 must be written. if the register contains fewer than 12 bits, zeros should be used for undefined bits. 4. test bit is for internal use only and must be set low. serial write operation continuous serial write operation to all registers note: 1. multiple sequential registers may be loaded continuously. 2. the first (lowest address) register address is written, followed by multiple 12-bit data-words. 3. the address automatically increments with each 12-bit data-word. (all 12 bits must be written.) 4. sl is held low until the last desired register has been loaded. 5. new data is updated at the next sl rising edge.
12 AI9943 circuit description and operation ccd mode block diagram the AI9943 signal processing chain is shown in the above ?ccd mode block diagram?. each processing step is essential for achieving a high quality image from the raw ccd pixel data. dc restore correlated double sampler optical black clamp the optical black clamp loop is used to remove residual offsets in the signal chain and to track low frequency variations in the ccd?s black level. during the optical black (shielded) pixel interval on each line, the adc output is compared with the fixed black level reference selected by the user in the clamp level register. the resulting error signal is filtered to reduce noise, and the correction value is applied to the adc input through a d/a converter. 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 the post processing, the optical black clamping for the AI9943 may be disabled using bit d3 in the operation register. refer to the sections ?serial interface? and ?internal register map?. when the loop is disabled, the clamp level register may still be used to provide programmable offset adjustment. horizontal timing is shown in the ?typical ccd mode line clamp timing? below . the clpob pulse should be placed during the ccd?s optical black pixels. it is recommended that the clpob pulse be used during valid ccd dark pixels. the clpob pulse should be a minimum of 20 pixels wide to minimize clamp noise. shorter pulse widths may be used, but clamp noise may increase and the loop?s ability to track low frequency variations in the black level is reduced. to reduce the large dc offset of the ccd output signal, a dc restore circuit is used with an external 0.1 f series coupling capacitor. this restores the dc level of the ccd signal to approximately 1.5 v, which is compatible with the 3 v single supply of the AI9943. the cds circuit samples each ccd pixel twice to extract video information and reject low frequency noise. the figure ?ccd mode timing? illustrates how the two cds clocks, shp and shd, are used, respectively, to sample the reference level and data level of the ccd signal. the ccd signal is sampled on the rising edges of shp and shd. placement of these two clock signals is critical for achieving the best performance from the ccd. an internal shp/shd delay (t id ) of 3 ns is caused by internal propagation delays.
13 AI9943 a/d converter the adc uses a 2 v input range. better noise performance results from using a larger adc full-scale range. the adc uses a pipelined architecture with a 2 v full-scale input for low noise performance. variable gain amplifier the vga stage provides a gain range of 6 db to 40 db, programmable with 10-bit resolution through the serial digital interface. the minimum gain of 6 db is needed to match a 1 v input signal with the adc full-scale range of 2v. a plot of the vga gain curve is shown on the right. vga gain (db) = (vga code 0.035db) +5.3 db

15 AI9943 applications information the AI9943 is complete analog front end (afe) products for digital still camera and camcorder applications. as shown in the ? ccd mode block diagram? , the ccd image (pixel) data is buffered and sent to the AI9943 analog input through a series input capacitor. the AI9943 performs the dc restoration, cds, gain adjustment, black level correction, and analog- to-digital conversion. the AI9943?s digital output data is then processed by the image processing asic. the internal registers of the AI9943?used to control gain, offset level, and other functions?are programmed by the asic or microprocessor through a 3-wire serial digital interface. a system timing generator provides the clock signals for both the ccd and the afe. system applications diagram recommended circuit configuration for ccd mode
16 AI9943 internal power-on reset circuitry after power-on, the AI9943 automatically resets all internal registers and performs internal calibration procedures. this takes approximately 1 ms to complete. during this time, normal clock signals and serial write operations may occur. however, serial register writes are ignored until the internal reset operation is completed. grounding and decoupling recommendations as shown in the ? recommended circuit configuration for ccd mode? on the previous page , a single ground plane is recommended for the AI9943. this ground plane should be as continuous as possible. this ensures that all analog decoupling capacitors provide the lowest possible impedance path between the power and bypass pins and their respective ground pins. all decoupling capacitors should be located as close as possible to the package pins. a single clean power supply is recommended for the AI9943, but a separate digital driver supply may be used for drvdd (pin 11). drvdd should always be decoupled to drvss (pin 12), which should be connected to the analog ground plane. advantages of using a separate digital driver supply include using a lower voltage (2.7 v) to match levels with a 2.7 v asic, and reducing digital power dissipation and potential noise coupling. if the digital outputs must drive a load larger than 20 pf, buffering is the recommended method to reduce digital code transition noise. alternatively, placing series resistors close to the digital output pins may also help reduce noise. note: the exposed pad on the bottom of the AI9943 should be soldered to the gnd plane of the printed circuit board.
