Product details
Overview
AD9923ABBCZ from Analog Devices is a complete 36 MHz CCD signal processor integrating analog front end (CDS, 12-bit ADC, 6–42 dB VGA, black level clamp), precision timing generator (<600 ps resolution), and 15-channel vertical driver for digital still cameras. It supports 5-field, 10-phase CCDs and operates over −25°C to +85°C in an 8 mm × 8 mm CSP_BGA package.
For engineers reviewing the AD9923ABBCZ datasheet, AD9923ABBCZ pinout, AD9923ABBCZ application, or AD9923ABBCZ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world timing resolution, confirmed V-driver supply rails (−7.5 V to +15 V), exact 105-pin CSP_BGA mapping, and two validated alternative parts for CCD imaging front-end selection.
Technical Context
The AD9923ABBCZ implements a dedicated Precision Timing™ core synchronized to a 36 MHz CLI input, enabling programmable edge placement across 48 discrete positions per clock cycle (≈600 ps resolution). Its timing engine generates RG, H1–H4, HL, SHP/SHD, V1–V13, SUBCK, and VSUB with independent polarity, retime, and mask control.
It integrates a full analog signal chain: correlated double sampling with ±4 dB CDS gain accuracy, 12-bit ADC with ±0.5 LSB DNL and no missing codes, 10-bit VGA (1024-step monotonic gain), and clamping with 1024-level resolution. All digital registers are configured via a 3-wire serial interface (up to 36 MHz SCK).
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AD9923ABBCZ uses an 8 mm × 8 mm CSP_BGA package with 0.65 mm pitch and 105 I/O pads. Power domains are segregated: AVDD/AVSS (AFE analog), TCVDD/TCVSS (timing core), DVDD1/DVSS1 & DVDD2/DVSS2 (digital logic), HVDD/HVSS (H-drivers), RGVDD/RGVSS (RG driver), DRVDD/DRVSS (data drivers), and multi-rail V-driver supplies (VH1/VH2, VL1/VL2, VM1/VM2, VLL/VMM).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLI | Master clock input | Accepts 36 MHz reference clock; drives internal Precision Timing core with 48-edge-per-cycle resolution. |
| CCDIN | Analog signal input | High-impedance node for CCD video output; interfaces directly with CDS stage for correlated double sampling. |
| V1–V13, V5A/V5B, V7A/V7B | Vertical driver outputs | 15 programmable 3-level (VO2/VO3) outputs driving CCD vertical transfer gates; support ±7.5 V / +15 V rail operation. |
| H1–H4, HL, RG | Horizontal/Reset gate drivers | On-chip 30 mA capable drivers for CCD horizontal clocks and reset gate; configurable rise/fall via 3-bit drive registers. |
| D0–D11, DCLK | Digital pixel data interface | 12-bit parallel LVCMOS outputs with pipeline-delayed timing (16 cycles from SHP/SHD); DCLK synchronizes external image processor capture. |
| VDR_EN | V-driver enable control | Active-high digital input enabling/disabling all 15 V-driver outputs - critical for power sequencing and fault-safe shutdown. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 15-channel V-driver | Eliminates need for external vertical driver ICs; supports 5-field, 10-phase CCDs with independent voltage rail control (VH/VL/VM). |
| Precision Timing™ core | Delivers <600 ps clock edge resolution at 36 MHz - enables precise SHP/SHD alignment to suppress kTC noise in CDS operation. |
| Correlated double sampler (CDS) | Reduces reset noise and fixed-pattern noise by sampling CCD output twice per pixel; gain accuracy ±0.5 dB across −3 dB to +6 dB settings. |
| 10-bit variable gain amplifier (VGA) | Provides 36 dB continuous gain range (6–42 dB) in 1024 monotonic steps - enables auto-exposure algorithms with stable, repeatable gain transitions. |
| On-chip sync generator with external SYNC input | Allows master/slave mode switching; external sync pulse resets internal HD/VD counters - essential for multi-sensor synchronization in DSLR or industrial inspection systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CCD signal processor applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AD9923BBCZ | Pin-compatible revision with updated timing specifications (Rev. A vs. Rev. 0); identical package, pinout, and functional block diagram. | No change in supported CCD types or system integration - drop-in replacement for legacy AD9923B designs. | Select AD9923ABBCZ when requiring latest timing accuracy (<600 ps resolution) and updated H-clock inhibit regions per Table 6. |
| TDC1304D | 14-bit, 40 MSPS ADC with integrated CDS and PGA but no V-driver or timing generator; requires external timing IC and V-driver. | Suitable only for simpler CCD architectures lacking 5-field/10-phase vertical timing - not a functional substitute for full front-end integration. | Choose TDC1304D only if vertical timing is handled externally and higher ADC resolution (14-bit) outweighs loss of on-chip V-driver and Precision Timing core. |
Compared with AD9923BBCZ, AD9923ABBCZ offers tighter timing resolution and updated inhibit region definitions, while TDC1304D trades full integration for higher ADC resolution but requires external timing and driver components - making AD9923ABBCZ the sole solution for self-contained, high-precision CCD front ends.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock rate supported by AD9923ABBCZ?
The AD9923ABBCZ supports a maximum CLI (master clock) input frequency of 36 MHz, which directly defines its pixel processing throughput and timing resolution. At this rate, the Precision Timing™ core achieves <600 ps edge placement resolution. The device's analog front end, including the 12-bit ADC and CDS, is fully characterized and specified for stable operation at 36 MHz, with total power dissipation of 335 mW under typical conditions. Exceeding 36 MHz is not supported and may result in timing violations or degraded ADC performance.
Does AD9923ABBCZ include an integrated vertical driver?
Yes, AD9923ABBCZ integrates a 15-channel vertical driver supporting 5-field, 10-phase CCD architectures. It provides dedicated outputs V1–V13, V5A/V5B, and V7A/V7B with three-level (VO2/VO3) drive capability. These outputs operate from separate high-voltage rails (VH1/VH2 up to +15 V, VL1/VL2 down to −7.5 V, VM1/VM2 at 0 V), enabling direct connection to complex CCD vertical transfer gates without external driver ICs. The VDR_EN pin allows hardware-controlled enable/disable of all 15 channels.
What is the ADC performance specification for AD9923ABBCZ?
The AD9923ABBCZ features a 12-bit analog-to-digital converter with guaranteed no missing codes, ±0.5 LSB differential nonlinearity (DNL), and integral nonlinearity (INL) within ±3 LSB. Its full-scale input voltage is 2.0 V, with reference voltages REFT = 2.0 V and REFB = 1.0 V. Total output noise is 1.0 LSB rms at 6 dB VGA gain, and power supply rejection is 50 dB. These specifications are measured across the full operating temperature range (−25°C to +85°C) and ensure high-fidelity digitization of CCD signals in demanding imaging applications.
How does the Precision Timing™ core in AD9923ABBCZ achieve <600 ps resolution?
The Precision Timing™ core in AD9923ABBCZ achieves <600 ps resolution by dividing each 36 MHz CLI clock period (27.8 ns) into 48 discrete edge positions, yielding ≈579 ps per step. This architecture allows programmable placement of SHP, SHD, RG, H1–H4, and other high-speed clocks with sub-pixel accuracy. Edge locations are configured via six-bit registers mapped to four quadrants of 12 positions each. The core operates identically in both master and slave modes, ensuring consistent timing fidelity regardless of system synchronization method.
What package type and pin count does AD9923ABBCZ use?
AD9923ABBCZ uses an 8 mm × 8 mm CSP_BGA (Chip Scale Package–Ball Grid Array) with 0.65 mm pitch and 105 I/O pads. This package supports high-density layout for compact camera modules and provides low-inductance connections for high-speed clocks and analog signals. Pin functions include dedicated power domains (AVDD, TCVDD, DVDD1/2, HVDD, RGVDD, DRVDD, VH1/VH2, VL1/VL2, VM1/VM2, VLL/VMM), 15 V-driver outputs, 6 H-driver outputs, 12-bit parallel data bus (D0–D11), and 3-wire serial interface (SL, SCK, SDI).
