DESCRIPTION
The VSP3010 is a complete, three-channel image
signal processor for Charge Coupled Device (CCD)
or Contact Image Sensor (CIS) systems. Each chan-
nel contains sensor signal sampling, Black Level
adjustment and a programmable gain amplifier. The
three inputs are multiplexed into a high speed, 12-bit
analog-to-digital converter. Input circuitry can be
configured, by digital command, for CCD or CIS
sensors. A Black Clamp and Correlated Double
Samplers (CDS) are provided for CCD sensors. For
CIS devices, the VSP3010 provides a single-ended
sampler and a reference input. The VSP3010 is
available in a 48-lead LQFP package and operates
from 0°C to +85°C with a single +5V supply.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Burr-Brown
recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling
and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation
to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may
be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric
changes could cause the device not to meet its published
specifications.

VSP3010
THEORY OF OPERATION
The VSP3010 can be operated in one of the following four
modes:
3-Channel CCD Mode
3-Channel CIS Mode
1-Channel CCD Mode
1-Channel CIS Mode
3-CHANNEL CCD MODE
In this mode, the VSP3010 can simultaneously process three
output CCD signals. These signals are AC-coupled to the
RINP, GINP, and BINP inputs. RINN, GINN, BINN are not
used in this mode and should be grounded. The CLP signal
enables internal biasing circuitry to clamp these inputs to a
proper voltage, enabling internal CDS circuitry to operate
properly. VSP3010 inputs may be applied as DC-coupled
inputs, which need to be level-shifted to a proper DC level.
The correlated double samplers take two samples of the
incoming CCD signals; the CCD reference levels are taken
on the falling edge of CK1 and the CCD information is taken
on the falling edge of CK2. These two samples are then
subtracted by the CDSs and the result is the CDS’ output.
Three channels are used to process three inputs simulta-
neously. Each consists of a 5-bit PGA (0dB to +13dB)
and an 8-bit offset digital-to-analog converter (+50mV
to –150mV). A 3-to-1 analog MUX follows the CDS
channels and feeds a high performance 12-bit A/D con-
verter. The analog MUX can be programmed to cycle
between red, green, and blue or blue, green, and red.
When the STRT signal is HIGH, the conversion is initiated
on the rising edge of ADCCK. The STRT signal indicates
the first samples for a scan line. When STRT goes LOW, the
analog MUX is switched to the first sample of the sequence.
As specified in the “3-Channel CCD Mode” timing diagram,
the falling edge of CK2 must be in the LOW period of
ADCCK. If the falling edge of CK2 is in the HIGH period
of ADCCK (in the timing diagram, ADCCK for sampling B
channel), the VSP3010 will not function properly.
3-CHANNEL CIS MODE
In this mode, the VSP3010 is operated as 3-channel sam-
plers and a digitizer. Unlike the CCD mode, VSP3010 takes
only one sample on the falling edge of CK1 for each input.
Since only one sample is taken, CK2 is grounded in this
operation. The input signal is DC-coupled in most cases. For
example, for the red channel, RINP is the CIS signal input,
and RINN is the CIS reference signal. The same applies to
the green channel (GINP and GINN) and blue channel
(BINP and BINN).
In this mode, three CDSs become CIS signal processing
circuits (acting like a track-and-hold) to process three
inputs simultaneously. Each CIS signal processing circuit
consists of a 5-bit PGA (0dB to +13dB) and an 8-bit offset
DAC (+50mV to –150mV). A 3-to-1 analog MUX follows
the CIS signal processing circuits and feeds a high perfor-
mance 12-bit A/D converter. The analog MUX can be
programmed to cycle between red, green, and blue or blue,
green, and red.
When the STRT signal is HIGH, the conversion is initiated
on the rising edge of ADCCK. The STRT signal indicates
the first sample for a scan line. When STRT goes LOW, the
analog MUX is switched to the first sample of the sequence.
As specified in the “3-Channel CIS Mode” timing diagram,
the falling edge of CK1 must be in the LOW period of
ADCCK. If the falling edge of CK1 is in the HIGH period
of ADCCK (in the timing diagram, ADCCK for sampling B
channel), the VSP3010 will not function properly.
1-CHANNEL CCD MODE
In this mode, the VSP3010 processes only one CCD signal.
The CCD signal is AC-coupled to RINP, GINP, or BINP (as
selected by the data in the Configuration Register). RINN,
GINN, BINN are not used in this mode and should be
grounded. The CLP signal enables internal biasing circuitry
to clamp this input to a proper voltage so that internal CDS
circuitry can work properly. The VSP3010 input may be
applied as a DC-coupled input, which needs to be level-
shifted to a proper DC level.
The CDS takes two samples of the incoming CCD signal.
The CCD reference value is taken on the falling edge of
CK1 and the CCD information is taken on the falling edge
of CK2. These two samples are then subtracted by the CDS
and the result is the CDS’ output.
In this mode, only one of the three channels is enabled. Each
CDS consists of a 5-bit PGA (0dB to +13dB) and an 8-bit
offset DAC (+50mV to –150mV). A 3-to-1 analog MUX is
inserted between the CDSs and a high performance 12-bit
A/D converter. The analog MUX is not cycling between
channels in this mode. Instead, the analog MUX is con-
nected to a specific channel, depending on the data in the
Configuration Register.
As specified in the “1-Channel CCD Mode” timing diagram,
the rising edge of CK1 must be in the HIGH period of
ADCCK and the falling edge of the CK2 must be in the
LOW period of ADCCK. Otherwise, the VSP3010 will not
function properly.
1-CHANNEL CIS MODE
In this mode, the VSP3010 is operated as a 1-channel
sampler and digitizer. Unlike the CCD mode, VSP3010
takes only one sample on the falling edge of CK1. Since
only one sample is taken, CK2 is grounded in this operation.
The input signal is DC-coupled in most cases. Here, the
VSP3010 inputs are differential. For example, for the red
channel, RINP is the CIS signal input, and RINN is the CIS
reference signal. The same applies to the green channel
(GINP and GINN) and blue channel (BINP and BINN).
®
11 VSP3010
In this mode, the CDS becomes a CIS signal processing
circuit (acting like a track-and-hold). Each CIS signal pro-
cessing circuit consists of a 5-bit PGA (0dB to +13dB) and
an 8-bit offset DAC (+50mV to –150mV). A 3-to-1 analog
MUX follows the CIS signal processing circuits and feeds a
high performance 12-bit A/D converter. The analog MUX is
not cycling between channels in this mode. Instead, the
analog MUX is connected to a specific channel, depending
on the data in the Configuration Register.
As specified in the “1-Channel CIS Mode” timing diagram,
the active period of CK1 (tCK1B) must be in the LOW period
of ADCCK. If it is in the HIGH period of ADCCK, the
VSP3010 will not function properly.
ANALOG PGA
There is one analog PGA on each channel. Each analog PGA
is controlled by a 5-bit PGA gain register. The analog PGA
gain varies from 1 to 4.44 (0dB to +13dB). The transfer
function of the PGA is:
Gain = 4/(4 – 0.1 • X)
where X is the integer representation of the 5-bit PGA gain
register. Figure 1 shows the PGA transfer function plot.
CHOOSING AC INPUT COUPLING CAPACITORS
The purpose of the input coupling capacitor is to isolate the
DC output of the CCD array from affecting the VSP3010.
The internal clamping circuitry restores the necessary DC
component to the CCD output signal. The internal clamp
voltage, VCLAMP, is derived from the reference. VCLAMP
depends on the value of VREF; if VREF is set to 1V, VCLAMP
is 2.5V and if VREF is set to 1.5V, VCLAMP is 3V. There are
many factors that determine the size of the input coupling
capacitors including CCD signal swing, voltage droop across
the input capacitor since the last clamp interval, leakage
current of the VSP3010 input circuitry, and the time period
of CK1. Figure 2 shows a simplified equivalent circuit of the
VSP3010 inputs. In this equivalent circuit, the input cou-
pling capacitor, CIN, and the sampling capacitor, C1, are
constructed as a capacitor divider (during CK1). For AC
analysis, op amp inputs are grounded. Therefore, the sam-
pling voltage, VS (during CK1) is:
VS = (CIN/CIN + C1)) • VIN
From this equation, we see that a larger value of CIN makes
VS closer to VIN. In other words, the input signal VIN will be
attenuated less if CIN is large. However, there is a disadvan-
tage to using a large value of CIN: the larger the CIN, the
more dummy or optical black pixels must be used to restore
the DC component of the input signal.

CHOOSING CMAX AND CMIN
As mentioned previously, a large CIN is preferable if there is
enough time for the CLP signal to charge up CIN. Typically,
0.01µF to 0.1µF of CIN can be used for most cases. In order
to optimize CIN, the following two equations can be used to
calculate CMAX and CMIN:
CMAX = ( tCK1 • N)/[RSWln (VD/VERROR)]
where, tCK1 is the time when both CK1 and CLP are HIGH
and N is the number of black pixels, RSW is the total switch

resistance, VD is the droop across CIN and VERROR is the
difference between VS and VCLAMP. The nominal value of
RSW is 4k plus the driver’s impedance. 0.1V should be
tolerable for VERROR and still keep the VSP3010 working
properly.
CMIN = ( I/VERROR) • t
where, I is 10nA, the typical leakage current of the VSP3010
input circuitry and t is the time between clamp pulses.
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:
ADDRESS
A2 A1 A0 REGISTER
0 0 0 Configuration Register (7-Bit)
0 0 1 Red Channel Offset Register (8-Bit)
0 1 0 Green Channel Offset Register (8-Bit)
0 1 1 Blue Channel Offset Register (8-Bit)
1 0 0 Red Channel Gain Register (5-Bit)
1 0 1 Green Channel Gain Register (5-Bit)
1 1 0 Blue Channel Gain Reigster (5-Bit)
1 1 1 Reserved
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 VREF = 1V (2V
full-scale input), the mode will be:
= > D0 = ‘0’, D1 = ‘0’and D3 = ‘0’
For this example, VREF will be 1V.
Bypass VREF with 10µF and 0.1µF 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, VREF 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.

CALIBRATION SEQUENCE
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.
Configuration Register
The Configuration Register is designed as follows:

the bus coupling back high frequency noise. In addition,
resistors in series with each data line may help minimize the
surge current. Their use depends on the capacitive loading
seen by the converter. As the output levels change from low
to high and high to low, values in the range of 100 to 200
will limit the instantaneous current the output stage has to
provide for recharging the parasitic capacitances.
GROUNDING, BYPASSING, AND POWER SUPPLY
RECOMMENDATIONS
Proper grounding, bypassing, short lead length and the use
of ground planes are particularly important for high fre-
quency designs. Multi-layer PC boards are recommended
for the best performance since they offer distinct advantages
such as minimizing ground impedance, separation of signal
layers by ground layers, etc. It is recommended that analog
and digital ground pins of the VSP3010 be joined together
at the IC and connected only to the analog ground of the
system.
The VSP3010 has analog and digital supply pins, however,
the converter should be treated as an analog component and
all supply pins should be powered by the analog supply. This
will ensure the most consistent results since digital supply
lines often carry high levels of noise that would otherwise be
coupled into the converter and degrade the achievable per-
formance.
As the result of the high operation speed, the converter also
generates high frequency current transients and noise that
are fed back into the supply and reference lines. This
requires that the supply and reference pins be sufficiently
bypassed. Figure 3 shows the recommended decoupling
schemes for the entire chip. In most cases, 0.1µF ceramic
chip capacitors are adequate to keep the impedance low over
the wide frequency range. Their effectiveness largely de-
pends on the proximity to the individual supply pin.
When the VSP3010 is powered on, it will be initialized as a
3-channel CCD, 1V internal (2V full scale) reference mode
with analog gain of 1. This mode is commonly used for CCD
scanner applications. The calibration procedure is done at the
very beginning of the scan. Once calibration is done, regis-
ters on VSP3010 will keep this information (offset and gain
for each channel) during the operation.
To calibrate the VSP3010, use the following procedure:
Step 1: Set the VSP3010 to the proper mode.
Step 2: Set analog PGA gain to 1 (code: 00H) and offset to
0mV (code: C0H).
Step 3: Scan a dark line.
Step 4: Calculate the pixel offsets according to the ADC
output.
Step 5: Readjust input Offset Registers.
Step 6: Scan a white line.
Step 7: Calculate gain. It will be the ADC full scale divided
by the ADC output when the white line is scanned.
Step 8: Set the Gain Register. If the ADC output is not
close to full scale, go back to Step 3. The calibration
is complete if the output is close to full scale.
