3 Channel, 16-Bit, 81 MSPS Analog Front End with LVDS/
CMOS Output, Integrated CCD/CIS Sensor Timing
Generator and Spread Spectrum Clock Generation
General Description
The LM98725 is a fully integrated, high performance 16-Bit,
81 MSPS signal processing solution for digital color copiers,
scanners, and other image processing applications. High-
speed signal throughput is achieved with an innovative archi-
tecture utilizing Correlated Double Sampling (CDS), typically
employed with CCD arrays, or Sample and Hold (S/H) inputs
(for higher speed CCD or CMOS image sensors). The signal
paths utilize 8 bit Programmable Gain Amplifiers (PGA), a
+/-9-Bit offset correction DAC and independently controlled
Digital Black Level correction loops for each input. The PGA
and offset DAC are programmed independently allowing
unique values of gain and offset for each of the three analog
inputs. The signals are then routed to a 81MHz high perfor-
mance analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The fully differential
processing channel shows exceptional noise immunity, hav-
ing a very low noise floor of -74dB. The 16-bit ADC has
excellent dynamic performance making the LM98725 trans-
parent in the image reproduction chain.
A very flexible integrated Spread Spectrum Clock Generation
(SSCG) modulator is included to assist with EM compliance
and reduce system costs.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is
functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics. The guaranteed
specifications apply only for the test conditions listed. Some performance characteristics may degrade when the device is not operated under the listed test
conditions. Operation of the device beyond the Operating Ratings is not recommended.
Note 2: All voltages are measured with respect to AGND = DGND = 0V, unless otherwise specified.
Note 3: When the input voltage (VIN) at any pin exceeds the power supplies (VIN < GND or VIN > VA or VD), the current at that pin should be limited to 25 mA.
The 50 mA maximum package input current rating limits the number of pins that can simultaneously safely exceed the power supplies with an input current of 25
mA to two.
Note 4: The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJMAX, θJA and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum
allowable power dissipation at any temperature is PD = (TJMAX – TA)/θJA. The values for maximum power dissipation listed above will be reached only when the
device is operated in a severe fault condition (e.g. when input or output pins are driven beyond the power supply voltages, or the power supply polarity is reversed).
Such conditions should always be avoided.
Note 5: Human body model is 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 k resistor. Machine model is 220 pF discharged through 0Ω.
Note 6: Reflow temperature profiles are different for lead-free and non-lead-free packages.
Note 7: The analog inputs are protected as shown below. Input voltage magnitudes beyond the supply rails will not damage the device, provided the current is
limited per note 3. However, input errors will be generated If the input goes above VA and below AGND.
30085371
Note 8: Typical figures are at TA = 25°C, and represent most likely parametric norms at the time of product characterization. The typical specifications are not
guaranteed.
Note 9: Test limis are guaranteed to National's AOQL (Average Outgoing Quality Level).
Note 10: This parameter guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 11: If the input INCLK is divided down to a lower internal clock rate via the PLL, the parameter tSENW will be increased by the same factor.
Note 12: When the Spread Spectrum Clock Generation feature is enabled, tSENW should be increased by 1.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, modifications, enhancements, improvements,
and other changes to its products and services at any time and to discontinue any product or service without notice. Customers should
obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All products are
sold subject to TIs terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its hardware products to the specifications applicable at the time of sale in accordance with TIs standard
warranty. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where
mandated by government requirements, testing of all parameters of each product is not necessarily performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or customer product design. Customers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right,
or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such products or services or a
warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual
property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied
by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive
business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional
restrictions.
Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all
express and any implied warranties for the associated TI product or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not
responsible or liable for any such statements.
TI products are not authorized for use in safety-critical applications (such as life support) where a failure of the TI product would reasonably
be expected to cause severe personal injury or death, unless officers of the parties have executed an agreement specifically governing
such use. Buyers represent that they have all necessary expertise in the safety and regulatory ramifications of their applications, and
acknowledge and agree that they are solely responsible for all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning their products
and any use of TI products in such safety-critical applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be
provided by TI. Further, Buyers must fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of TI products in
such safety-critical applications.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments unless the TI products are
specifically designated by TI as military-grade or "enhanced plastic."Only products designated by TI as military-grade meet military
specifications. Buyers acknowledge and agree that any such use of TI products which TI has not designated as military-grade is solely at
the Buyer's risk, and that they are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI products are neither designed nor intended for use in automotive applications or environments unless the specific TI products are
designated by TI as compliant with ISO/TS 16949 requirements. Buyers acknowledge and agree that, if they use any non-designated
products in automotive applications, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet such requirements.
