Abstract
A 2- mu m CMOS IC interfaces directly to the output of a CCD, level shifts the signal, amplifies it by a 4-bit programmable gain of up to 20 dB, and corrects the offset per pixel with a 3-bit word. A non-reset video output is obtained with an internal time-interleaved architecture. The total harmonic distortion (THD) of -50 dB is obtained at 15 MHz clock rates and +or-3.3 V full scale outputs. The 2.8*3.7 sq mm circuit dissipates 140 mW from a 5V supply.
