H-Driver and RG Outputs
In addition to the programmable timing positions, the AD9920A
features on-chip output drivers for the RG, HL, and H1 to H8
outputs. These drivers are powerful enough to drive the CCD
inputs directly. The H-driver and RG current can be adjusted for
optimum rise/fall time for a particular load by using the drive
strength control registers (Address 0x36 and Address 0x37). The
3-bit drive setting for each H1 to H8 output is adjustable in
4.3 mA increments: 0 = off, 1 = 4.3 mA, 2 = 8.6 mA, 3 = 12.9 mA,
4 = 17.3 mA, 5 = 21.6 mA, 6 = 25.9 mA, and 7 = 30.2 mA.
The 3-bit drive settings for the HL and RG outputs are also
adjustable in 4.3 mA increments, but with a maximum drive
strength of 17.3 mA: 0 = off, 1 = 4.3 mA, 2 = 8.6 mA, 3 = 12.9 mA,
4 = 4.3 mA, 5 = 8.6 mA, 6 = 12.9 mA, and 7 = 17.3 mA.
As shown in
Figure 19, when HCLK Mode 1 is used, the H2,
H4, H6, and H8 outputs are inverses of the H1, H3, H5, and H7
outputs. Using the HCLKMODE register (Address 0x24,
Bits[4:0]), it is possible to select a different configuration.
Table 10 shows a comparison of the different programmable
settings for HCLK Mode 2 and HCLK Mode 3, respectively.
It is recommended that all H1 to H8 outputs on the AD9920A be
used together for maximum flexibility in drive strength settings.
A typical CCD with H1 and H2 inputs should have only the
AD9920A H1, H3, H5, and H7 outputs connected together to
drive the CCD H1 and should have only the AD9920A H2, H4,
H6, and H8 outputs connected together to drive the CCD H2.
In 3-phase HCLK mode, only six of the HCLK outputs are used,
with two outputs driving each of the three phases:
H1 and H2 are connected to CCD Phase 1.
H5 and H6 are connected to CCD Phase 2.
H7 and H8 are connected to CCD Phase 3.
