CXA2006Q
CDS:
The CCD signal from the CCD image sensor is input to PIN and DIN where correlated double sampling (CDS)
is performed by SH1, SH2 and SH3. The precharge level of the CCD output signal is sampled, held and output
by the SH2 output, and the signal level is sampled, held and output by the SH3 output.
CDSCLP:
The CDSCLP stabilizes the input signal DC level, clamps (CLPDM) the input signal during the idle transfer
interval for the purpose of eliminating the AGC input offset, and synchronizes the DC level ([∗1], [∗2]) of SH2
and SH3.
AGC:
The gain can be varied from 8 to 38dB by adjusting the AGCCONT voltage control VAGCCONT from 0 to 3V.
LPF:
A primary low-pass filter is installed for the purpose of eliminating unused bands and white noise and
improving S/N.
CAMSH:
The CAMSH is used for camera signal processing system. It is a sample-and-hold circuit which synchronizes
the data read-in timing for the external A/D.
AGCCLP:
The basic black level is set ([∗3]) by clamping the AGC output waveform with the CLPOB clock during the OPB
interval. The AGCCLP capacitance is connected to the AGCCLP pin.
BLK:
The black level is calibrated by blanking the black level signal of the AGC output waveform so that it does not
fall below the basic black level and replacing the DC potential. ([∗4])
The signal is blanked when PBLK is low.
C/VSW:
When the CAM/VIDEO, PB/REC, CH/CL and PS pin voltages are set so that the camera signal processing
system operates, C/VSW conducts the BLK output (camera signal) into the DRV. In addition, when these
voltages are set so that the video signal processing system operates, C/VSW conducts the VISH output (video
signal) into the DRV.
OFFSET SW:
The OFFSET SW selects [OFFSET], [CH/CLDC] or [LOUTCLP] as the offset adjustment input pin of the DRV
block and activates these pins by selecting the CAM/VIDEO, PB/REC, CH/CL and PS pin voltages.
When the camera signal processing system is in camera mode, the OFFSET pin is conducted [OFFSET],
allowing the camera signal offset to be adjusted. ([∗5])
When the video signal processing system is in LIN mode, the LOUTCLP pin is conducted [LOUTCLP],
clamping the video composite signal at its sync level and offsetting the signal. In addition, CH/CL mode
conducts the CH/CL DC [CH/CLDC], which gives center potential to the high-band chroma and low-band
chroma signals of the video signal.
DRV:
DRV drives the external A/D. Camera and video (LIN, CH, CL modes) signals are input by switching C/VSW,
and offset adjusted signals are output from DRVOUT pin.

CXA2006Q
REFBOTTOM, REFTOP:
REFBOTTOM and REFTOP are reference voltage source for the external A/D. They are connected to VRT and
VRB of the A/D, and 2V and 4V are supplied.
MODE SWITCHING:
MODE SWITCHING is a mode selection block which selects camera signal system or video signal system
operation by selecting high or low potentials for the CAM/VIDEO, PB/REC, CH/CL and PS pins. PS is the
power save pin, and power save functions when this pin is low.
Operating conditions
The video signal processing system has three modes: LIN signal mode, CH signal mode and CL signal mode.
The video signal processing system operates in LIN signal mode when PS is high, CAM/VIDEO is high,
PB/REC is low and CH/CL is high, or when PS is high, CAM/VIDEO is low, PB/REC is low and CH/CL is low.
The video signal processing system operates in CH signal mode when PS is high, CAM/VIDEO is low,
PB/REC is high and CH/CL is high.
The video signal processing system operates in CL signal mode when PS is high, CAM/VIDEO is low, PB/REC
is high and CH/CL is low, or when PS is high, CAM/VIDEO is low, PB/REC is high and CH/CL is high.

LINCLP:
The video composite signal is input to LIN/CH pin. LINCLP expands the input dynamic range, and sync tip
clamps the input signal at 2.4V to allow full input. The input level and frequency are respectively 571mVp-p
(Max.) and DC is up to 7MHz.
LINAMP:
This is a fixed gain amplifier with a gain of 9.5dB.
LIN/CHSW:
LIN/CHSW switches between the LIN signal and CH (high-band chroma) signal. The signals are switched
according to the mode selection.
VISH:
The VISH is used for video signal processing system.
It is a sample-and-hold circuit which synchronizes the data read-in timing for the external A/D.
VISW:
VISW switches between the LIN, CH and CL low-band chroma signals for the video signal processing system.
The signals are switched according to the mode selection.
LOUTCLP:
LOUTCLP is a clamp circuit which operates when the LIN signal is output to the DRV. The clamp potential is
the sync portion, and is 2.1V.
