Exar Corporation XRD98L59AIGTR-F

Description
The XRD98L59 is a low-power CCD Image Digitizer designed for digital, motion, and still cameras. It includes a differential Correlated Double Sampler (CDS), 8-bit digitally Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA), 10-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC), and improved digitally controlled black level auto-calibration circuitry with pixel averager, hot pixel clipper, and DNS filter.
The CDS subtracts the CCD output signal black level from the video level, rejecting common mode signal and power supply noise. The PGA has a digitally controlled gain range of 6dB to 38dB with 0.125dB per LSB of the gain code. The auto-calibration circuit compensates for internal offset and black level offset from the CCD.
The XRD98L59 is controlled through a simple 3-wire serial interface. It has direct access to the ADC input for digitizing other analog signals. The device is packaged in a 28-lead surface mount TSSOP for space and weight reduction, making it suitable for hand-held and portable applications.
