Detailed description of the invention
The invention provides a kind of low noise CCD camera circuitry implementation method and system thereof, before the adjustable simulation of bandwidth
Terminal circuit and CCD camera digital sampling circuitry two parts based on CDS technology composition.
One, analog front circuit;As shown in Figure 1.It is by capacitance, preamplifying circuit QF and the adjustable RC of bandwidth
Low-pass filtering switch KG tri-part composition.Owing to the output signal of CCD is floating (usual tens volts) negative in DC level
The analogue signal of polarity spatial spreading.If this signal being directly used for rear class amplify and analog digital conversion, the most easily make amplifier
Saturated with ADC, and it is unfavorable for the extraction of useful signal, it is therefore necessary to carry out this signal processing every primes such as straight, amplifications.This
Patent proposes a kind of adjustable analog front circuit of bandwidth, and wherein C is that capacitance, U, R, R1, R2 and D constitute preposition amplification
Circuit QF, its objective is to be adjusted in the input range of high-speed AD converter signal level;D: Schottky diode, is used for
Filter a part of reset pulse spike.RS1, RS2, Ks and Cs form bandwidth rearrangeable switch KG.The opening and closing of Ks analog switch
Close and switch over according to the phase relation of current CCD video signal output voltage waveforms, thus change the bandwidth of AFE (analog front end).RC
The corner frequency of low pass filter is f0=1/2 π RC, and the position of corner frequency becomes with RC.If capacitance is constant, low pass
Resistance is decreased to RS2 from RS1, and corner frequency translates to front end.
By ccd output signal feature: reset pulse A is mingled with some high fdrequency components (reset spike) as shown in Figure 2, and joins
Examine level B relative with pixel level C stable.In order to reduce the noise of AFE (analog front end) further, according to the phase place of ccd output signal
Relation switches band-width switch.When reset pulse comes then, and KS gets at RS1, and the corner frequency of RC low pass filter is low, permissible
Effectively filter out reset pulse high frequency components;When datum and pixel level come then, and KS gets at RS2, RC low-pass filtering
The corner frequency of device is high, makes the free of losses as much as possible of CCD datum and pixel level pass through.
Two, low noise digital sample circuit based on CDS technology:
As it is shown on figure 3, it is made up of high-speed ADC and FPGA.The purpose of CCD camera digital sampling circuitry is to adopt accurately
Ccd signal, reduce the noise of CCD as much as possible.Owing to reset noise is main interference source in ccd output signal, and
Peripheral sampling processing circuit can be applied to suppress, and Correlated Double Sampling can effectively filter reset noise, so CCD phase
Machine sample circuit typically uses analog domain CDS circuit.
This circuit is made up of high-speed ADC and FPGA two parts.First this circuit carries out high speed analog-to-digital conversion, secondly in numeral
Territory carries out the low-pass filtering (LP) of sampled signal, finally carries out digital subtracting at numeric field and realizes relevant double employing.In numeral
It is that digital subtractor is more accurate that territory carries out the advantage of CDS process.This circuit selects components and parts kind few (2 kinds), substantially increases
The reliability of circuit.The most alternative analog-digital converter kind is more, such that it is able to increase the motility of circuit design.
High-speed ADC its objective is to sample ccd signal datum and pixel level and analog digital conversion.Owing to being phase
Close double sampled, if the pixel clock frequency of CCD is fCcD, then sample frequency fSAMPLE=2fCCD, it is i.e. the 2 of pixel clock frequency
Times.Therefore the maximum operating frequency selecting analog-digital converter is at least 2 times of pixel clock frequency.The figure place of analog-digital converter is then
Dynamic range and application demand according to ccd signal select.
Wave digital lowpass filter (LP): way of realization use multiple sampled points be averaging, due in FPGA realize, time
Under conditions of order relation allows, 2n sampled point of general collection, as it is shown on figure 3, be averaged the most againPermissible
Remove high-frequency noise and reduction quantizing noise that AFE (analog front end) introduces further;
Numeral CDS: actually datum and the difference of pixel level sampled point.Can effectively suppress CCD video signal
Reset noise and low-frequency noise.Way of realization is digital subtractor.Digital subtractor is to ccd signal datum conversion value
SrefWith pixel level conversion value SpixCarry out subtraction, obtain digital picture S neededimg=Spix Sref.Due to SrefWith
SpixBeing successively to carry out analog digital conversion in chronological order, therefore current conversion value and eve only need to be changed by digital subtractor
Value carries out subtraction process.
