INTRODUCTION
The XRD9829REF is a demo system which includes a PCB design with a CANON CWB-
30216G 300 DPI Color Contact Image Sensor (CIS). It demonstrates how to interface a CIS
withEXAR’sXRD9829,a10-bitLinearCIS/CCDSensorSignalProcessortogetasingleline
scan.TheXRD9829REF isdesignedto provideasignal pathforthe CIS outputsignals to be
processed, digitized by the XRD9829 and transmitted to a personal computer. There are no
softwarealgorithmsorhardwareimplementations toadjustfortruecolorresponse.
TheXRD9829REFboardisloadedwiththeXRD9829,aVantisMACH435,twoFIFOSRAMs
and peripheral circuits for the CIS. The MACH435, which is a CMOS Programmable Logic
Device (CPLD) provides timing signals to the XRD9829, the SRAMs and the CIS. It also
programsthe XRD9829 to operate inthe correct mode and adjustfor gain and offset values.
