Product details
Overview
AD9840JSTRL from Analog Devices is a complete 10-bit, 36 MSPS analog signal processor for CCD imaging systems. It integrates input clamping, correlated double sampling (CDS), digitally controlled VGA (0–18 dB gain), black-level clamping, and an ADC - all in a single 48-lead LQFP package operating from a 3.0 V supply with 140 mW typical power consumption. It targets interlaced/progressive scan CCD arrays in digital still cameras and camcorders.
For engineers reviewing the AD9840JSTRL datasheet, AD9840JSTRL pinout, AD9840JSTRL application, or AD9840JSTRL equivalent, this page delivers verified functional architecture, validated timing parameters, confirmed register-programmable features (gain, clamp level, power-down), and real-world CCD-mode interface constraints including SHP/SHD setup/hold, CLPOB/CLPDM pixel-width limits, and 3-wire serial interface timing at up to 6 MHz SCK.
Technical Context
The AD9840JSTRL implements a single-channel CCD signal chain with dedicated CDS circuitry synchronized to SHP (reference level) and SHD (data level) clocks, enabling noise reduction via correlated sampling. Its VGA provides 512-step gain control across 0–18 dB, with dual-region transfer function (nonlinear below code 511, linear-in-dB above), and guaranteed accuracy over 2–36 dB per specification.
Clamp operation supports three modes-optical black (CLPOB), dummy pixel (CLPDM), and preblanking (PBLK)-with programmable clamp level resolution of 256 steps (0–63.75 LSB). The 3-wire serial interface (SL/SCK/SDATA) enables register writes on SL rising edge and supports continuous multi-register loading with strict bit-length alignment per register map.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ADC Resolution & Rate | 10-bit, 36 MSPS - delivers full-resolution digitization of fast-scan CCD outputs without missing codes. |
| VGA Gain Range | 0 dB to 18 dB (guaranteed 2–36 dB) - enables precise exposure control across varying light conditions in CCD imaging. |
| CDS Clock Support | SHP/SHD timing with ≤7 ns pulsewidth and ≤7 ns edge-to-edge skew - ensures accurate reference/data sampling alignment for low-noise CDS. |
| Clamp Level Resolution | 256 steps (0–63.75 LSB) - allows fine-grained black-level calibration to suppress fixed-pattern noise in CCD output. |
| Serial Interface Speed | 6 MHz max SCK frequency - supports rapid register configuration during system startup or mode switching. |
| Power Supply | 3.0 V single supply - simplifies power design and matches common CCD camera rail requirements. |
| Typical Power Dissipation | 140 mW - enables thermal management in compact digital camera modules without forced cooling. |
Pinout & Package
AD9840JSTRL is housed in a 48-lead thin plastic quad flatpack (LQFP), designated ST-48 per Analog Devices' ordering guide. The package is RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable, and features exposed paddle for thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CCDIN (Pin 30) | Analog Input | Primary differential-capable input for CCD analog video signal; accepts signals referenced to AVSS/AVDD rails. |
| SHP / SHD (Pins 21/22) | Digital Input | CDS sampling clocks - SHP captures reference (reset) level, SHD captures data level; timing-critical for noise cancellation. |
| CLPOB / CLPDM (Pins 20/23) | Digital Input | Black-level clamp clocks - CLPOB uses optical black pixels, CLPDM uses dummy pixels; determines clamp reference point. |
| DO–D9 (Pins 3–12) | Digital Output | 10-bit parallel data bus - outputs latched ADC result on DATACLK rising edge; requires external 3-state control via THREE-STATE pin. |
| SL / SCK / SDATA (Pins 46/48/47) | Digital Input | 3-wire serial interface - SL loads register data on rising edge; SCK clocks SDATA bits; supports readback and write-only modes. |
| RSTB (Pin 43) | Digital Input | Active-low reset - initializes internal registers to default values (e.g., VGA gain = 0x096, clamp enabled, CCD mode); minimum 100 ns pulse width required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Correlated Double Sampling (CDS) | Hardware-implemented CDS with SHP/SHD clock inputs eliminates reset noise and kTC noise in CCD outputs. |
| Programmable Black-Level Clamp | Three clamp sources (CLPOB, CLPDM, PBLK) with 256-step resolution enable adaptive black-level tracking across temperature and illumination changes. |
| Digitally Controlled VGA | 512-step gain control (0–18 dB) with dual-region transfer function ensures linearity and repeatability in exposure adjustment. |
| Multi-Mode Input Support | Configurable for CCD, AUX1, or AUX2 analog input paths - allows reuse in hybrid systems handling both CCD and standard video signals. |
| Low-Power 3 V Operation | 140 mW typical consumption at 3.0 V enables battery-powered portable imaging applications without thermal throttling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CCD analog signal processing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDA9981HN/C1 | Integrated HDMI transmitter + 10-bit ADC; lacks CDS and clamp circuits; requires external CDS stage. | Targeted at digital video interfaces, not direct CCD sensor interfacing. | Choose only if system already includes discrete CDS/clamp and requires HDMI output path. |
| AD9844ASTZ | Pin-compatible successor with extended VGA range (0–36 dB), improved SNR (72 dB vs. 70 dB), and enhanced power-down modes. | Same CCD imaging use cases but with higher dynamic range and lower standby current (1 μA vs. 100 μA). | Prefer AD9844ASTZ for new designs requiring wider gain range or lower quiescent power; AD9840JSTRL remains viable for legacy cost-sensitive builds. |
Compared with TDA9981HN/C1, AD9840JSTRL delivers integrated CDS and clamp functionality essential for CCD noise suppression, while AD9844ASTZ offers measurable improvements in gain range and power efficiency without changing PCB layout - making it the recommended upgrade path where performance margins matter.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed VGA gain accuracy range for AD9840JSTRL?
The AD9840JSTRL guarantees VGA gain accuracy over 2 dB to 36 dB, corresponding to gain register codes 87 through 1023. While the full register range supports 0–18 dB, only the 2–36 dB span is tested and specified for linearity and monotonicity per the datasheet's AUX2-mode specifications. This ensures reliable exposure control in production imaging systems.
Does AD9840JSTRL support both interlaced and progressive scan CCD sensors?
Yes, AD9840JSTRL explicitly supports both interlaced and progressive scan area CCD arrays. Its CDS architecture, configurable clamp modes (CLPOB/CLPDM), and flexible timing windows (e.g., CLPOB pulsewidth 2–20 pixels) accommodate varying scan architectures and blanking intervals. The functional block diagram and timing figures confirm compatibility with standard CCD timing protocols.
How is the AD9840JSTRL reset sequence implemented in hardware?
The AD9840JSTRL requires an active-low reset pulse on Pin 43 (RSTB) lasting ≥100 ns after power supplies stabilize. Upon RSTB release, internal registers load defaults: VGA gain = 0x096 (≈12 dB), clamp enabled, CCD mode selected. An RC network (e.g., 10 kΩ + 1.0 μF) is recommended when no system reset signal is available, matching the power-on time constant of the 3.0 V rails.
Can AD9840JSTRL operate with separate analog and digital ground planes?
Yes, AD9840JSTRL mandates separate analog (AVSS) and digital (DVSS, DRVSS) ground connections - Pins 25/26/35 for AVSS, Pins 15/18/24/41 for DVSS, and Pins 1/2 for DRVSS. This partitioning minimizes digital switching noise coupling into the sensitive analog signal path, directly supporting high-SNR CCD signal conditioning as verified in the functional block diagram and pin descriptions.
What is the maximum allowed DATACLK frequency for AD9840JSTRL?
The AD9840JSTRL supports a maximum DATACLK frequency of 36 MHz, corresponding to a minimum clock period of 27.6 ns. This is specified under "CCD-Mode Timing Specifications" with CL = 20 pF load. Exceeding this limit risks violating setup/hold times for DO–D9 outputs (tOD = 14.5 ns, tH = 7.6 ns) and may cause data corruption in the 10-bit parallel output stream.
