LM9800
8-Bit Greyscale/24-Bit Color Linear CCD Sensor
Processor
General Description
The LM9800 is a high performance integrated signal
processor/digitizer for linear CCD image scanners. The
LM9800 performs all the analog processing (correlated
double sampling for black level and offset compensation,
pixel-by-pixel gain adjust, and 8-bit analog-to-digital conver-
sion) necessary to maximize the performance of a wide
range of linear CCD sensors.
The LM9800 can be digitally programmed to work with a
wide variety of CCDs from different manufacturers. An inter-
nal configuration register sets CCD and sampling timing to
maximize performance, simplifying the design and manufac-
turing processes.
The LM9800 can be used with sequential or parallel output
color CCDs. Coarse gain switching brings weak Blue signals
up to Red/Green levels for best performance. For comple-
mentary voltage reference see the LM4041.
