PROGRAMMING THE VSP3010
The VSP3010 consists of three CCD or CIS channels and a
12-bit A/D converter. Each channel (red, green, and blue) has
its own 8-bit offset and 5-bit gain adjustable registers to be
programmed by the user. There is also a 7-bit Configuration
Register on-chip to program the different operation modes.
These registers are as follows:

For Reading/Writing to the Configuration Register, the ad-
dress will be:
A2 = ‘0’, A1 = ‘0’, and A0 = ‘0’
Example:
A 3-channel CCD with internal reference V
REF
= 1V (2V
full-scale input), the mode will be:
= > D0 = ‘0’, D1 = ‘0’and D3 = ‘0’
For this example, V
REF
will be 1V.
Bypass V

with 10

F and 0.1

F capacitors when internal
reference mode is used.
Example:
A 1-channel CIS mode (red channel) with external 1.2V
reference:
= > D0 = ‘1’, D1 = X, D2 = ‘1’, D4 = ‘0’ and D5 = ‘0’
For this example, V
REF
will be an input pin, applied with
1.2V. This input will set the full-scale input of the VSP3010
at 2.4V.
Offset Registers
Offset registers control the analog offset input to the channel
prior to the PGA. There is an 8-bit Offset Register on each
channel. The offset range varies from –150mV to +50mV.
The Offset Register uses a Straight Binary code. All ‘0’s
correspond to –150mV and all ‘1’s correspond to +50mV of
the offset adjustment.
PGA Gain Registers
The PGA Gain Registers control the analog gain to the
channels prior to the A/D converter. There is a 5-bit PGA
Gain Register on each channel. The gain range varies from
1 to 4.44 (0dB to +13dB). The PGA Gain Register is a
Straight Binary code. All ‘0’s correspond to analog gain of
0dB and all ‘1’s correspond to the analog gain of 13dB.

DIGITAL OUTPUTS
The digital outputs of the VSP3010 are designed to be
compatible with both high-speed TTL and CMOS logic
families. The driver stage of the digital outputs is supplied
through a separate supply pin, VDRV, which is not con-
nected to the analog supply pins. By adjusting the voltage on
VDRV, the digital output levels will vary respectively.
Thus, it is possible to operate the VSP3010 on a +5V analog
supply while interfacing the digital outputs to 3V logic.
It is recommended to keep the capacitive loading on the data
lines as low as possible (typically less than 15pF). Larger
capacitive loads demanding higher charging current surges
can feed back to the analog portion of the VSP3010 and
influence the performance. If necessary, external buffers or
latches may be used which provide the added benefit of
isolating the VSP3010 from any digital noise activities on

These Registers can be accessed by either the parallel or
serial port. In the parallel mode, the address and data port are
combined with the ADC data output pins. The data bus is
assigned as D0 to D7 (pin 25 to pin 32) and the address bus
is A0 to A2 (pin 33 to pin 35). In the serial mode, serial data
(SD), serial clock (SCLK), and write signal (WRT pin for
both parallel and serial writing) are assigned. The following
table shows how to access these modes.
