Original Press Release:
Single-Chip Image Signal Processor Provides High-Performance and Simplifies Design of Electronic-Imaging Equipment
14-bit resolution and 10MPPS throughput from low cost, low-noise device
June 15, 2005, Tucson, Arizona - C&D Technologies (NYSE: CHP) has announced the availability of a new application specific imaging signal processor. Designed for use in electronic-imaging applications that employ charge coupled devices (CCDs) as their photodetector, the ADCDS-1410 delivers 14-bit resolution and an impressive throughput rate of 10 Megapixels/sec (MPPS) in a functionally complete single package.
The ADCDS-1410 utilizes the latest multi-process technologies to combine a variety of mixed-signal ICs and passive components in a compact, low-power (800mW typical), single-chip solution with an excellent signal-to-noise ratio of 73 dB min.
The 40-pin TDIP package incorporates a user-configurable input amplifier, a correlated double sampler (CDS), and a sampling A/D converter. Other features include adjustable gain and offset, a precision +2.4V output reference circuit, an out-of-range detector, and a programmable analog bandwidth function.
Typical applications for the ADCDS-1410 include scientific imaging (such as spectroscopy), electronic cameras, medical diagnostic imaging, infrared imaging, high-quality graphic scanning, and photo-CD image capture.
The key to the edge-triggered ADCDS-1410's performance is it's unique highspeed, high-accuracy CDS circuit. The circuit eliminates the effects of residual charge, charge injection, and kT/C noise on the CCDs output floating capacitor, producing a 'valid video' output signal. The ADCDS-1410 then digitizes this signal using a high-speed, low-noise sampling A/D converter.
Unit pricing for the C&D Technologies ADCDS-1410 is $195 in OEM quantities (USA, 100-piece pricing), and delivery is from stock to six weeks.
C&D Technologies, Inc. is a technology company that produces and markets systems for the conversion and storage of electrical power, including telecom/industrial batteries, rectifiers and electronics. This specialized focus has established the company as a leading and valued supplier of products in two major categories - reserve power systems and electronic power supplies. Corporate headquarters are in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, USA and the company is traded on the NYSE under the symbol 'CHP'.
The Power Electronics Division of C&D Technologies, Inc. has its headquarters in Tucson, Arizona, USA, with manufacturing in the USA, Mexico, UK and China plus sales locations in the USA, UK, France, Germany, China and Japan. The division designs, manufactures and distributes DC/DC converters, AC/DC power supplies and magnetics, and offers these products in custom, standard and modified-standard variations. These products, which are built to exacting requirements in ISO9000:2000-approved facilities, are typically used worldwide by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) within telecommunications, computing, industrial and other high-tech applications.
In 2004 the product portfolio as well as the global design and manufacturing capabilities of the Power Electronics Division were significantly enhanced as a result of three acquisitions. In May 2004, C&D acquired UK-based Celab Limited, a designer and manufacturer of power conversion products for military, cable television and high-end telecommunications applications. In June 2004, the company acquired Datel, Inc., a US-based producer of medium-power DC/DC converters, data acquisition products and digital panel meters. In September, C&D completed the acquisition of CPS, the former Power Systems Division of Celestica, Inc., a Canadian manufacturer of DC/DC and AC/DC power supplies.
