  • Page 2: System Requirements

    Linear CIS/CCD Sensor Signal Processor to output a single line scan and display the amplitude of each of the three colors. The XRD9827REF is designed to provide a signal path for the CIS output signals to be processed, digitized by the XRD9827 and transmitted to a personal computer. There are no software algorithms or hardware implementations, for example, gamma correction, to adjust for color response.
  • Page 3 1 to 10 and an 8-Bit programmable input referred offset calibration range of 800 mV. The XRD9827 also provides the necessary biasing voltage for the CANON CIS, eliminating the use of external components (two diodes and two resistors). See the XRD9827EVAL User Manual / PCB board for evaluating the XRD9827 CIS / CCD signal processor chip.
  • Page 4: Operational Procedure

    The routine listed below will first calibrate the photo response of the CIS using the XRD9827 by optimize its offset and gain. After calibration, the XRD9827REF can be used to scan any color target to show CIS non-color corrected response. (Color correction is typically done in the digital ASIC.)

Place the XRD9827REF on top of the black target with the CIS sensor facing downwards. From the CAPTURE menu select SNAP SHOT (or simply press CTRL and B buttons simultaneously) for a single line scan of the black target with the dip switches set to [000 00000000].

Set the dip switches to [110 00010000] to tie VDCREF and VDCEXT pin together internally. Push the Serial Port button.
  • Page 9 1.24V reference voltage provided by an internal bandgap is applied to the VDCEXT pin. VDCEXT is connected to VREF pin (Pin 5) of the CANON CIS, this voltage is used by the CIS as a biasing voltage. Moreover, a 12K built-in resistor of the XRD9827 serves as a pull-down for the output of the CIS. By interfacing the XRD9827 with a CANON CIS, a designer can save two biasing diodes and two resistors and thus reduce cost.

From the CAPTURE menu select SNAP SHOT for a single line scan of the white target.
  • Page 13 CAPTURE menu select SNAP SHOT. The gain should move the output of the CIS to almost full scale. Please refer to data sheet for further gain adjustment and optimal values of dip switches for your scanner. A typical result of the white target with gain adjustment is shown below.

For example: Scan a gray scale to demonstrate the stair step response or a color target for color responsitivity.
  • Page 16 As we can see from Table 1, the SNR falls into the range of 58 dB to 63 dB when a DC reference is used as input to the XRD9827REF. The system alone gives a 9 1/2 to 10 bit performance. The largest noise source we saw in previous scans came from the CIS.
