EXAR’s XRD9829, a 10-bit Linear CIS/CCD Sensor Signal Processor to get a single line scan. The XRD9829REF is designed to provide a signal path for the CIS output signals to be processed, digitized by the XRD9829 and transmitted to a personal computer. There are no software algorithms or hardware implementations to adjust for true color response.

XRD9829 CONTROL SIGNALS CIS CONTROL SIGNALS Figure 1. Block Diagram of XRD9829REF The XRD9829 is a complete linear CIS or CCD sensor signal processor on a single monolithic chip. The XRD9829 includes a high speed 10-Bit ADC, a 6-Bit Programmable Gain Amplifier with gain adjustment of 1 to 10 and an 8-Bit programmable input referred offset calibration range of 800 mV.
The routine listed below will first calibrate the photo response of the CIS using the XRD9829. After calibration, the XRD9829REF can be used to scan any color target to show CIS non-color corrected response. (Color correction is typically done in the digital asic.) How to Run the XRD9829REF Demonstration: 1.
