Pin Descriptions
Analog Power
VA
This is the positive supply pin for the analog
supply. It should be connected to a voltage
source of +5V and bypassed to
AGND
with a
0.1μF monolithic capacitor in parallel with a
10μF tantalum capacitor.
AGND
This is the ground return for the analog sup-
ply.
Analog I/O
OS
R
,
OS
G
,
OS
B
,
Analog Inputs. These inputs (for Red,
Green, and Blue) should be tied to the sen-
sor’s OS (Output Signal) through DC block-
ing capacitors.
RefBypass
Internally generated reference voltage
bypass pin. It should be bypassed to
AGND
through a .05uF monolithic capacitor.
V
REF+
,
V
REFMID
,
V
REF-
Voltage reference bypass pins. They should
each be bypassed to
AGND
through a .05uF
monolithic capacitor.
Input & Timing Control
MCLK
Master Clock. The ADC conversion rate will
be a maximum of of
MCLK
. Nominally
24MHz.
SampCLK
Sample Clock.
SampCLK
controls the con-
version rate of the ADC (up to of the
MCLK
rate) and sample timing. The signal
level is sampled while
SampCLK
is low and
held on the rising edge of
SampCLK
. When
CDS is enabled, the falling edge of
SampCLK
causes the CCD reference level to be held.
If CDS is not enabled,
V
REF+
or
V
REF-
is held
on the falling edge of
SampCLK
, depending
on the programmed signal polarity.
SampCLK
is also used with
NewLine
to clamp the exter-
nal coupling capacitors.
NewLine
New Line signal. Used to indicate the start
of active pixels on a new line, to allow
clamping of the AC coupling caps, and to
allow programming of the configuration reg-
ister. When
NewLine
is high and
SampCLK
is
low, the OS inputs will be connected to
either
V
REF+
or
V
REF-
. On the first rising edge
of
MCLK
NewLine
goes low, the internal
mux and the offset and gain settings will be
set to the appropriate values for the first
color of the next line set in the color mode
setting in the Sampler and Color Mode Reg-
ister. When
NewLine
is low, D[5-0] transmit
the pixel conversion data from the ADC.
When
NewLine
is high, D[5-0] enter TRI-
STATE and
D2
,
D1
and
D0
act as a serial
interface for programming the configuration
registers.
Digital Power
VD
This is the positive supply pin for the digital
supply. It should be connected to a voltage
source of +5V and bypassed to
DGND
with a
0.1μF monolithic capacitor.
DGND
This is the ground return for the digital sup-
ply.
Digital I/O
D5
-
D0
Data Input/Output pins. When
NewLine
is
low, the 10 or 12 bit conversion results of
the ADC are multiplexed to
D5
-
D0
. When
NewLine
is high, the output drivers enter TRI-
STATE and
D2
,
D1
&
D0
act as a serial inter-
face for writing to the configuration regis-
ters.

D2
(SCLK)
Serial Data Clock.
D1
(Latch)
Latch and shift enable signal. When
D1
(Latch) is low, data is shifted into
D0
(SDI).
When
D1
(Latch) goes high, the last nine bits
shifted into
D0
(SDI) will be used to program
the addressed configuration register. To
avoid erroneous writes to the configuration
registers,
D1
(Latch) should be pulled low
when
NewLine
is high.
D0
(SDI)
Serial input data. Data is valid on
D2
(SCLK)
rising edge. Three address bits followed by
six data bits (MSB first) should be shifted
into
D0
before
D1
(Latch) goes high.
