INTRODUCTION The Kodak Digital Science TM KAF Series CCD Digital Reference Evaluation Board provides a powerful platform to quickly and easily implement a Kodak Digital Science Full Frame or Blue Plus Full Frame CCD image sensor in a prototype imaging system. The Evaluation Board also serves as a useful reference design that will save considerable time and cost in the development of a product prototype.
SPECIFICATIONS Maximum Data Rate 6MHz Resolution 12 Bits Frame Rate Depends on Data Rate, CCD Array size, and Integration time. OUTPUTS: D[11..
ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW A complete Block Diagram of the CCD Digital Reference Evaluation Board is shown in . MASTER CLOCK The Master Clock runs at eight times the Pixel clock frequency. The maximum pixel clock frequency is 6 MHz, which yields a maximum system clock frequency of 48 MHz. For slower Pixel clock frequencies, decrease the master clock frequency. The Default setting of the evaluation board is a 40 MHz system clock, with a pixel clock frequency of 5 MHz. The KAF-4301E is an exception to this.
CCD BIAS VOLTAGES CCD bias voltages (VRD, VOG, VLG) are supplied by filtered outputs of adjustable potentiometers. Fixed CCD bias voltages (LOD, VSS, GUARD) are supplied by filtered outputs of voltage dividers.
UNIT INTEGRATION TIME Integration Timing: The amount of time the CCD is exposed to light before clocking out the accumulated charge is called the integration time. An RC circuit and Schmitt trigger inverter are used to set the unit integration time. Total integration time is a multiple of the unit integration time. Altera Timing Rpot INTEGRATE C1 Set Unit Integration The circuit is set to toggle at 100 Hz, providing a fixed unit integration time of 10ms.
J1, J2 IMAGER BOARD CONNECTORS CCD Daughter Boards plug into these connectors. The daughter boards route the clock and bias traces from the timing board to the proper pins of the CCD. POWER SUPPLIES An onboard switching supply provides all of the voltages necessary to operate the CCD Digital Reference Evaluation Board, from a single +5V source. Switching supplies can, however, be a source of low-level asynchronous noise.
BOARD REQUIREMENTS: POWER SUPPLY The board requires only a single +5V, 1.5 Amp or greater power supply to operate. An on board switching power supply generates the necessary +15V, 120mA and –10V, 120mA power supplies from the 5V input. Although extensive filtering is done on board, the power supplied to the board must be quiet and stable in order to achieve the best possible performance. (See Power Supply Modes, for an alternative way to power the board.
CONFIGURATION MODES The following modes of operation are available to the user: LINE/SWITCHES MODES The Line/Switches Jumper (SW5) Selects whether some of the board settings will be controlled externally through the J6 connector (Line), or via the on-board switches (Switches). If this switch is set to Line, then the integration time and the binning mode must be set remotely via digital I/O. The still/free-run mode switch (SW3, 3-position switch) can also be set externally when the Line mode is selected.
AD_IN/EX MODES The board comes with an Analog Devices AD9816 12 bit A/D converter on board. This A/D has several features, such as multiple configurations, programmable gain, and offset registers which require initialization and/or programming on power up. The programming of these registers is done via a three wire serial interface.
ADJUSTMENTS Adjustments can be made to the A/D registers during operation of the board by utilizing the DATA dipswitch (SW10), the ADDRESS switch (SW9), and the Image_Acquire control line. After setting SW9 to the desired Address, and SW10 to the desired Data, send an Image_Acquire signal either by pressing the Image_Acquire button or remotely via the J6 connector control line.
POWER SUPPLY MODES Power can be supplied to the board in one of two ways: Switching Power Supply The board comes supplied with a 500 kHz switching power supply (Linear Technologies LT1372). If it is desired to utilize the on-board switching supply, the board should be configured as follows: 1. Connect a 5V, 1.5A or greater lab supply to the J5 power connector. 2. Install Jumper 6 and Jumper 4. 3. Remove Jumper 7 and Jumper 5. 4. Set Jumper 1 to the ON position.
CCD IMAGER BOARDS Each CCD has an imager board. The imager boards route the bias voltage traces from the timing board through connectors J1 and J2 to the appropriate pins on the device. The imager boards contain the Horizontal and Reset clock driver ICs as well as the emitter-follower circuit that buffers and drives the video signal down to the timing board. ADJUSTMENTS Fixed Bias Voltages: Fixed Voltages: VDD +15V LOD/GUARD +10V VSUB 0V VSS 0 to +2.
OUTPUT SELECTION FOR SENSORS WITH TWO OUTPUTS The KAF-1001E, KAF-0261E, and KAF-4301E sensors have two video outputs. The outputs have different gain and one of them is selected depending on the application. The imager daughter boards for these sensors have two jumpers that must be set correctly to enable the desired output.
