Signal processor cleans up on CCD
imaging

Imaging signal processor provides an easy-to-interface, functionally complete, low-cost solution for electronic imaging applications that use CCDs as their photodetectors.

C and D Technologies has introduced the first imaging signal processor to combine true 16bit resolution with 3Mpixel/s performance The ADCDS-1603 provides an easy-to-interface, functionally complete, low-cost solution for electronic imaging applications that use charge coupled devices (CCDs) as their photodetectors

Typical applications for the high-performance ADCDS-1603 can be found in digital still cameras, digital video camcorders, portable CCD image devices, plus a wide range of medical and industrial imaging products.

The ADCDS-1603 has a class-leading signal-to-noise-ratio of 85dB at 3MHz with no latency delay.

The small, fully integrated 40-pin TDIP package incorporates a user configurable input amplifier, a correlated double sampler (CDS), and a 16bit sampling analogue-to-digital convertor (ADC).

Further features of the user-friendly design include edge triggering, gain adjust, offset adjust, a precision +2.0V reference and a programmable analogue input bandwidth function.

Overall power consumption is just 500mW typical.

Central to the ADCDS-1603's high performance is a unique high-speed, high-accuracy, CDS circuit that eliminates the effects of residual charge, charge injection and noise on the output capacitor of the CCD.

This produces a "valid video" output signal that the ADCDS-1603 digitises using its integral high-speed, low-noise sampling ADC.

Two variants of C and D's new imaging signal processor are available: the ADCDS-1603 is designed for commercial applications and has an operating temperature range of 0 to +70C, and the ADCDS-1603EX has an operating temperature range of -55 to +125C, making it suitable for military and more demanding commercial applications.
