LM98503
10-Bit, 18 MSPS Camera Signal Processor
General Description
The LM98503 is a CCD signal processor for digital cameras.
The processor provides a common interface to a number of
different image sensors including CCD, CMOS, and CIS.
Correlated double sampling reduces kTC noise from the image
signal. A fast, temperature stable, 8-bit digitally programmable
gain amplifier enables pixel-rate white-balancing. An auxiliary
input is provided, allowing for the selection of an external signal,
useful for sampling analog video signals. The 10-bit A/D
converter preserves the image quality with excellent noise
performance. The LM98503 also includes the supporting
functions of digital black level clamp and power down, ideally
suited for portable video applications. This low-power processor
is a natural choice for the most demanding imaging systems.
