INTRODUCTION

The XRD9829REF is a demo system which includes a PCB design with a CANON CWB- 30216G 300 DPI Color Contact Image Sensor (CIS). It demonstrates how to interface a CIS with EXAR’s XRD9829, a 10-bit Linear CIS/CCD Sensor Signal Processor to get a single line scan. The XRD9829REF is designed to provide a signal path for the CIS output signals to be processed, digitized by the XRD9829 and transmitted to a personal computer. There are no software algorithms or hardware implementations to adjust for true color response.

The XRD9829REF board is loaded with the XRD9829, a Vantis MACH435, two FIFO SRAMs and peripheral circuits for the CIS. The MACH435, which is a CMOS Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) provides timing signals to the XRD9829, the SRAMs and the CIS. It also programs the XRD9829 to operate in the correct mode and adjust for gain and offset values. The XRD9829 processes the analog output from the CIS sensor, level-shifts and converts the signal into digital codes. The SRAMs gate the digitized data from the XRD9829 and stores the data temporarily. Controlled by the software, the SRAMs send the data through a parallel port connection to the PC and histograms of raw data are displayed in the monitor using the ScanIt software. A block diagram of the XRD9829REF is shown below in Figure 1.
