GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9821 is a complete analog signal processor for imaging
applications that do not require Correlated Double Sampling
(CDS). It features a 40 MHz single-channel architecture designed
to sample and condition the outputs of CMOS imagers and CCD
arrays already containing on-chip CDS. The AD9821’s signal
chain consists of a differential input sample-and-hold amplifier
(SHA), digitally controlled variable gain amplifier (VGA), black
level clamp, and a 12-bit ADC.
The internal registers are programmed through a 3-wire serial
digital interface. Programmable features include gain adjust-
ment, black level adjustment, and power-down modes.
The AD9821 operates from a single 3 V power supply, typically
dissipates 150 mW, and is packaged in a 48-lead LQFP.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the
AD9821 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices
subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended
to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.
