This document is the instruction manual of AD9978, which introduces the characteristics and applications of AD9978
The AD9978 is a highly integrated dual‑channel CCD signal processor designed for high‑speed digital video camera applications. Each channel includes a complete analog front end with a 14‑bit, 65 MHz ADC, a variable‑gain amplifier, black‑level clamp, and a precision timing core offering 240 ps resolution.
The device supports reduced‑range LVDS serial data output and operates from a 1.8 V core supply. It is packaged in a 6 mm × 6 mm, 40‑lead LFCSP and is specified for temperatures from –25 °C to +85 °C. Typical applications include digital video cameras, still cameras, copiers, multifunction printers, and high‑speed industrial cameras.
