Product details
Overview
AD9849AKSTRL from Analog Devices is a 12-bit, 30 MHz CCD signal processor with integrated timing driver and analog front end. It performs correlated double sampling (CDS), pixel gain amplification (–2 dB to +10 dB), variable gain amplification (2 dB to 36 dB), black level clamping, and digitization - all in a single 48-lead LQFP package. It targets high-resolution digital still cameras requiring precise CCD clock generation and low-noise analog signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the AD9849AKSTRL datasheet, AD9849AKSTRL pinout, AD9849AKSTRL application, or AD9849AKSTRL equivalent, key selection criteria include its 30 MHz pixel rate, 12-bit ADC resolution, 5 V horizontal/RGB driver support, 1 ns timing resolution, and programmable clamp pulse sequencing for optical black calibration.
Technical Context
The AD9849AKSTRL integrates a Precision Timing™ core enabling sub-nanosecond clock edge placement (1 ns resolution at 30 MSPS) for H1–H4 and RG drivers. Its analog signal chain includes CDS, PxGA (64-step gain control), VGA (1024-step gain control), and a 12-bit ADC with 2.0 V full-scale input range referenced to VRT = 2.0 V and VRB = 1.0 V.
It supports both internal and external clamp pulse modes (CLPOB/CLPDM), programmable drive strength (up to 24 mA per H/RGB output), and a 3-wire serial interface (SCK ≤ 10 MHz) for register configuration. Power supplies are segregated: AVDD1–3 (2.7–3.6 V), DVDD1/DVDD2 (3.0–5.5 V for AD9849), DVDD3/DVDD4 (3.0 V), with shutdown power <1 mW.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AD9849AKSTRL is housed in a 48-lead Thin Plastic Quad Flatpack (LQFP), ST-48 package (JEDEC MS-026AC), with exposed pad for thermal management. Pin 1 identifier located at top-left corner; lead pitch 0.5 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| D0–D11 | Digital Output (MSB/LSB) | 12-bit parallel pixel data bus; D0 = LSB, D11 = MSB; outputs valid after 9-cycle pipeline delay. |
| H1–H4, RG | Digital Output (CCD Clock Drivers) | 5 V-tolerant, programmable-current (up to 24 mA) outputs for direct connection to CCD horizontal and reset gate inputs. |
| CLI | Digital Input (Master Clock) | 30 MHz system reference clock input; determines all internal timing and conversion rates. |

| SCK, SL, SDI | Digital Input (Serial Interface) | 3-wire SPI-compatible interface (≤10 MHz SCK); SL acts as frame sync for register writes. |
| CCDIN | Analog Input (CCD Signal) | Single-ended analog input accepting up to 1.0 V p-p CCD video signal with 500 mV reset transient tolerance. |
| VRT, VRB | Analog Output (Reference Decoupling) | Top (2.0 V) and bottom (1.0 V) voltage references for ADC; require 1.0 µF decoupling to AVSS. |
| BYP1–BYP3 | Analog Output (Bypass) | Internal analog supply bypass points; each requires 0.1 µF capacitor to AVSS for noise suppression. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated CCD Timing Driver | Generates fully programmable H1–H4 and RG clocks with independent edge placement (±1 ns resolution), eliminating need for external timing ASICs. |
| Correlated Double Sampling (CDS) | On-chip CDS removes reset kTC noise and low-frequency CCD pedestal drift, improving SNR by >20 dB before digitization. |
| Programmable Clamp Sequencing | Four independent clamp pulse sequences (CLPOB/CLPDM/HBLK/PBLK) with toggle positions and polarity control enable adaptive black-level tracking across frame regions. |
| Pixel Gain Amplifier (PxGA®) | 64-step, –2 dB to +10 dB gain control applied pre-CDS to optimize dynamic range per color channel in RGB-CCD architectures. |
| Dual-Supply Digital I/O | DVDD1/DVDD2 support 3.0–5.5 V for H/RGB drivers while DVDD3/DVDD4 remain at 3.0 V - simplifies mixed-voltage board design. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CCD signal processing applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDC1308IPWPR | 8-channel 16-bit time-to-digital converter; no integrated CCD timing driver or analog front end. | Designed for time-of-flight and laser scanning, not CCD analog signal conditioning. | Not suitable as functional replacement; lacks ADC, CDS, PxGA, VGA, and CCD clock generation. |
| AD9846ASTZ | 10-bit, 20 MHz version in same 48-lead LQFP package; shares identical pinout and register map but lower resolution and speed. | Targeted at cost-sensitive 1080p CCD cameras where 12-bit depth and 30 MHz throughput are unnecessary. | Select AD9846ASTZ only when system resolution and frame rate requirements are ≤10-bit/20 MHz. |
Compared with AD9849AKSTRL, AD9846ASTZ offers identical footprint and software compatibility but trades 2 bits of resolution and 10 MHz bandwidth for lower power (220 mW) and cost; TDC1308IPWPR serves entirely different measurement domains and cannot substitute for CCD signal processing.

FAQ
What is the maximum pixel clock frequency supported by the AD9849AKSTRL?
The AD9849AKSTRL is specified for operation up to 30 MHz CLI (master clock) frequency, enabling real-time digitization of high-resolution CCD sensors with up to 4096 × 4096 pixels. This 30 MHz rating is validated across the full –20°C to +85°C temperature range and defines the upper limit for pixel rate, timing core resolution, and ADC conversion speed in the AD9849AKSTRL.
Does the AD9849AKSTRL support 5 V CCD clock drivers?
Yes, the AD9849AKSTRL supports 5 V output on its H1–H4 and RG driver pins (DVDD1/DVDD2 = 3.0–5.5 V), unlike the AD9848AKSTRL which is limited to 3 V. This allows direct interfacing with standard 5 V CCDs without external level shifters or buffer ICs, reducing component count and layout complexity in high-performance camera designs.
How many bits of resolution does the AD9849AKSTRL ADC provide?
The AD9849AKSTRL incorporates a true 12-bit analog-to-digital converter with guaranteed no missing codes, ±0.5 LSB typical differential nonlinearity, and 2.0 V full-scale input range. This 12-bit resolution enables 4096 distinct intensity levels per pixel - essential for high-fidelity color reproduction and low-noise post-processing in professional imaging applications using the AD9849AKSTRL.
What type of serial interface does the AD9849AKSTRL use for configuration?
The AD9849AKSTRL uses a 3-wire serial interface consisting of SL (serial load), SCK (serial clock), and SDI (serial data input), operating at up to 10 MHz SCK frequency. Register writes are synchronized to SL rising edge or HD/VD falling edges, supporting both single-register and continuous multi-register programming modes as defined in the AD9849AKSTRL register map.
Is the AD9849AKSTRL pin-compatible with the AD9848AKSTRL?
Yes, the AD9849AKSTRL is pin-compatible with the AD9848AKSTRL in the 48-lead LQFP package (ST-48), sharing identical pin functions and physical layout. However, the AD9849AKSTRL requires 5 V on DVDD1/DVDD2 for its higher-voltage drivers, whereas the AD9848AKSTRL operates at 2.7–3.6 V on those supplies - necessitating minor PCB supply routing changes when substituting the AD9849AKSTRL.
