AD9973BBCZ

Overview

The AD9973BBCZ is a dual-channel CCD signal processor designed for high-speed digital video applications. It integrates two complete analog front ends, each featuring a correlated double sampler (CDS), a variable gain amplifier (VGA) with 6 dB to 42 dB range, and a 14-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The device operates at pixel rates up to 65 MHz and includes an on-chip timing generator with a Precision Timing core offering 240 ps resolution. It utilizes a 1.8 V supply voltage and communicates via a 3-wire serial interface. The component is housed in a 6 mm × 6 mm, 84-ball CSP_BGA package and functions within a temperature range of −25°C to +85°C.
