GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The AD9971 is a highly integrated CCD signal processor for high speed digital video camera applications. Specified at pixel rates of up to 50 MHz, the AD9971 consists of a complete analog front end with analog-to-digital conversion combined with a programmable timing driver. The Precision Timing™ core allows adjustment of high speed clocks with 310 ps resolution at 50 MHz operation. The AD9971 also contains a reduced range LVDS interface for the data outputs.
