CDS (SH1, SH2, SH3):
The CCD signal from the CCD image sensor is input to PIN and DIN where correlated double sampling (CDS)
is performed by SH1, SH2 and SH3. The precharge level of the CCD output signal is sampled, held and output
by the SH2 output, and the signal level is sampled, held and output by the SH3 output. SH1 and SH2 are the
sample-and-hold circuits for the precharge level; SH3 is the sample-and-hold circuit for the signal level.
CDSCLP 1, 2:
CDSCLP1 and 2 stabilize the input signal DC level, clamp (CLPDM) the input signal during the idle transfer
interval for the purpose of eliminating the AGC input offset, and adjust the DC level ([
1], [
2]) of SH2 and SH3
in line with V
REF
. CDSCLP1 is the clamp circuit for the precharge level, and CDSCLP2 is the clamp circuit for
the signal level.
AGC:
AGC is the gain control amplifier for the camera signal.
The gain can be varied from 1 to +31dB by adjusting the AGCCONT voltage control V
AGCCONT
from 1.5 to
3.0V.
CAM SH:
CAM SH is the sample-and-hold circuit for synchronizing the data read-in timing for the external A/D. Sampling
is possible according to the approximately 10ns sampling pulse width input to XRS.
AGCCLP:
The basic black level is set ([
3]) by clamping the AGC output waveform with the CLPOB clock during the OPB
interval. When PBLK is High and CLPOB is Low, the clamping circuit operates, adjusting the AGCCLP current
so that the DRVOUT potential equals the OFFSET potential (which is determined by the voltage applied to the
OFFSET pin), thus setting the AGCCLP potential. The AGCCLP capacitance is connected to the AGCCLP pin.
DC SHIFT:
This circuit functions when AGCCLP operates, following the AGCCLP potential and forcing a DC shift of the
AGC output waveform OPB interval to the basic black level. When AGCCLP is not operating, the basic black
level is maintained at its previous setting.
BLK SW:
The black level is calibrated by blanking the black level signal of the AGC output waveform so that it does not
fall below the basic black level and replacing the DC potential with V
RB
. ([
4])
The signal is blanked when PBLK is Low.
OFFSET:
OFFSET controls the DRV output waveform black level offset.
The offset of the DRVOUT camera signals can be adjusted when a voltage is applied to OFFSET. ([
5])
The voltage controlled by OFFSET is output as the DRV output DC offset via AGCCLP, DCSHIFT, CAMSH
and BLKSW.
When the OFFSET voltage is 1.5 to 3.0V, DRVOUT DC can vary in a linear fashion from V
RB
+ 100mV to V
RB
.
In addition, when the OFFSET voltage is 0V, DRVOUT DC is preset to V
RB
+ 35mV.
13
CXA2096N
DRV:
DRV drives the external A/D. The current that flows to the last-stage amplifier in DRV is controlled by applying
voltage to the ICONT pin, making it possible to adjust the rise time of the output waveform, which affects the
external A/D load capacitance. The variable range is 1.5 to 3V, with 1.5V yielding the maximum and 3V
yielding the minimum. The optimum rise time for the external A/D input capacitance can be selected.
V
RT
DRV, V
RB
DRV:
These are the external A/D reference voltage drivers. These circuits are connected to A/D V
RT
and V
RB
,
supplying 2.35V and 1.35V, respectively, when V
CC
is 3V. The IC's internal primary voltage is also generated
on the basis of the V
RT
and V
RB
voltage. (V
RB
, V
B
and V
CENT
)
POWER SAVE CONTROL:
The PS pin is the power save pin; the operating state is enabled when this pin is High, while the power saving
function operates when it is Low.
