Simplify CCD/CIS Image Capturing with a 3-Channel 16-Bit AFE/Timing Generator:When designing equipment that deals with amplifying
and processing delicate signals, engineers are often faced
with the decision of what to mount close to the source,
and what can exist further away. These are typically sources
like antennas and high impedance audio/video sources.
Constraints are more severe with mechanical motion or
space. National’s LM98714 3-channel, 45 MSPS Analog
Front End (AFE) with integrated CCD timing generator
and LVDS/CMOS outputs addresses many of these issues.
Multi-Function Peripherals
Multi Function Peripherals (MFPs) are relatively small
image copy, scan, and print devices found in thousands
of home desktop settings. Historically, these devices
have had modest reproduction speeds (gauged in pages
per minute) and offered the home user an inexpensive
solution to document reproduction. With the speeds of
MFPs increasing rapidly, more businesses are finding the
MFP satisfies many office tasks once only practical with
high speed, industrial-sized digital copiers. The increase
in MFP performance comes with new design challenges
for the system level architect.
