4.0 Programmable Gain Amplifier (PGA)
The PGA provides gains from 0dB to 36 dB in approxi-
mately 0.047 dB steps. The desired gain setting is
programmed via the 10 bit gain register in the Serial
Interface.
For gain codes between 0 and 767, the gain can be
calculated by the following equation:
Gain[dB]
=




For gain codes ≥ 768, the gain is fixed at 36 dB. The
gain doubles every 128 codes to simplify DSP algo-
rithms and control.

Figure 7. PGA Gain vs. Gain Code
An example of setting the gain is as follows: If the CCD
input is limited by 800mVpp (CDSVIN) and the ADC full
scale differential input (VID) is 2Vpp, then a minimum
gain is calculated by:
The gain code would be set to 170d for 8dB of PGA
gain.
