H-Driver and RG Outputs
In addition to the programmable timing positions, the AD9848/
AD9849 features on-chip output drivers for the RG and H1–H4
outputs. These drivers are powerful enough to directly drive the
CCD inputs. The H-driver current can be adjusted for optimum
rise/fall time into a particular load by using the DRV registers.
The RG drive current is adjustable using the RGDRV register.
Each 3-bit DRV register is adjustable in 3.5 mA increments, with
the minimum setting of 0 equal to OFF or three-state, and the
maximum setting of 7 equal to 24.5 mA.
As shown in Figure 7, the H2/H4 outputs are inverses of H1/H3.
The internal propagation delay resulting from the signal inversion
is less than l ns, which is significantly less than the typical rise time
driving the CCD load. This results in a H1/H2 crossover voltage
is not programmable.
Digital Data Outputs
The AD9848/AD9849 data output phase is programmable
using the DOUTPHASE register. Any edge from 0 to 47 may
be programmed, as shown in Figure 8.
HORIZONTAL CLAMPING AND BLANKING
The AD9848/AD9849’s horizontal clamping and blanking
pulses are fully programmable to suit a variety of applications.
As with the vertical timing generation, individual sequences are
defined for each signal and are then organized into multiple
regions during image readout. This allows the dark pixel clamping
and blanking patterns to be changed at each stage of the readout
to accommodate different image transfer timing and high speed
line shifts.
