Preamp Design – Review • Preamp based on instrumentation amp • Preamp gain set to 2 V/V • Input referred noise 40 nV/√Hz • Impedance matched to 100 Ω lines • Preamp delivers fully differential signal
Video Processor Design Filter Reset Differential Input from Preamp ADC Differential Amplifier Common Mode Feedback
Video Processor – Differential Amplifier • Differential Buffer AD4938-1 • Two output terminals +OUT and –OUT • Outputs are 180º out of phase • Two feedback loops • Input to set common mode voltage
Video Processor – CM Offset • Common mode output set by Vocm input • Common mode set by ADC to Vref/2 • Additional ADC adjustment available Vocm Feedback
Video Processor – Noise • Differential noise model • Voltage noise • Current noise • Resistor noise • Well matched resistors eliminate common mode voltage noise
Video Processor - Noise • Resistor noise e = √4kTR • Each input has multiplication factor for output • GN = 2 • β = 0.5
Video Processor - Noise • Output noise total is sum of squares of contributions • Total output voltage noise 20.22 nV/√Hz • Total output voltage noise from preamp 57.3 nV/√Hz • Sum of noise is 60.76 nV/√Hz
Video Processor – Anti-Aliasing Filter • Simple single pole RC filter • ADC sampling frequency is 6MHz • Anti-aliasing filter 3dβ set to 3 MHz • Filter resistor noise is 0.46 nV/√Hz – negligible • Filter reset by switch to ground with Ron = 1Ω
Video Processor – ADC Sampling • 6x oversampling of 1 MHz pixel rate • Three reset signal samples and three charge signal samples • Samples are averaged for reset signal and charge signal • Effectively creates another filter pole at 3 MHz • CDS performed using averaged reset signal and charge signal for each pixel
