GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XRD9824 is a complete linear CIS or CCD sensor
signal processor on a single monolithic chip. The
XRD9824 includes a high speed 14-bit resolution
ADC, a 6-bit Programmable Gain Amplifier with gain
adjustment of 1 to 10, and 8-bit programmable input
referred offset calibration range of 800mV.
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.
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
XRD9824. The CIS signal is level shifted to VRB in
The CIS configuration can also be used in other
applications that do not require CDS function, such as
low cost data acquisition.

Note 1:
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 XRD9824 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
XRD9824 input.
Optically Shielded
Pixels
Valid Pixels
Figure 2. Typical Output CIS Mode
Adjust the offset of the CIS (-100 mV to 500 mV) by setting the internal registers of the XRD9824 to set the black
pixel value when the LEDs of the CIS are off. When the LEDs are on, use the XRD9824 Programmable Gain to
maximize the ADCs dynamic range. Figure 3 shows a typical application for a CIS with an offset of -100mV to
500mV.

beyond the offset range of the XRD9824 (see Offset
Control DAC, Pg. 28) 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 XRD9824. Figure 4 is a diagram
of the XRD9824 in the external reference mode for
CIS, DC coupled applications.
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.
Some CIS sensors have an output with an offset
voltage of greater than 500mV. If the CIS output is

Mode 2. AC Coupled
If the CIS signal has a black reference for the video
signal, an external capacitor CEXT is used. When
CLAMP (clamp) pin is set high an internal switch allows
one side of the external capacitor to be set to ground.
It then is level shifted to correspond to the bottom
ladder reference voltage of the ADC (Figure 7).

This value corresponds to the black reference of the

the ADC samples the video signal with respect to the
black reference. 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 150
ohm impedance (RINT) which is in series with the
external capacitor (CEXT).
If the input to the external capacitor has a source

Internal CIS Reference Circuit (DB 4 = 1)
The XRD9824 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 15)
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 XRD9824 for
this mode of operation). Below is a typical application
circuit using the XRD9824 and the Canon CVA60216K CIS sensor.

CCD Configuration (Charge Coupled Device)
Mode 1. AC Coupled
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 150 ohm
impedance (RINT) which is in series with the external
capacitor (CEXT).
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.
Therefore, Tc =1/RINTCEXT
If the input to the external capacitor has a load impedance (REXT), then
Tc=1/(RINT+REXT)CEXT

example, if there is a line-to-line variation between the
black reference pixels, the offset is adjusted. The gain
is 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
highest color intensity of the CCD output. Once the

Offset Control DAC

The offset DAC is controlled by 8 bits. The offset range
is 800 mV ranging from -200 mV to +600 mV (when
DB5 is set to 0) and -400 mV to +400 mV (when DB5
is set to 1). Therefore, the resolution of the 8-Bit offset
DAC is 3.14 mV. However, the XRD9824 has +/- 100
mV reserved for internal offsets. Therefore, the effective range for adjusting for CIS offsets or black reference is 600 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.

Figure 20. 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 500 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 a 14-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. The 8-bit databus supports 8x6 output data. ADCCLK samples the input on
its falling edge. After the input is sampled, the MSB is
latched to the output drivers. On the rising edge of the
ADCCLK, the LSB is latched to the output drivers. The
output needs to be demultiplexed with external circuitry
or a digital ASIC. 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 19 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
11-bit 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.
