2-3-1 . CDS Circuit
The video signal output from the CCD is input to Pin ® and
Pin @ of IC91 7 (CXA 1 390AR). Inside this IC, there are five
sample/hold circuits originating form the XSHP and XSHD
pulses, and they carry out CDS (Correlated Double
Sampling). The objective of the CDS is to eliminate noise
components from the CCD output, and to extract the
effective signal components with the highest possible S/N
status. This is described in Fig . 2-5. The CCD output
includes black level information and signal component, and
noise effected by a leak from the harmful PG clock.
In CDS, the black level is detected by the S/H of the XSHP
(Fig. 2-5 ® ) , and the signal components are detected by
the S/H of the XSH D (Fig. 2-5

pulse, and would decrease the S/N ratio. Here, by
performing S/H through the XSHD again in ® , it becomes

perform a finer elimination of noise.

Next, the CDS output is input to the AGC amplifier and the
high luminance detection circuit.
The CDS output is fed from Pin @ to the auto iris circuit
and auto focus circuit after passing through the gain control
circuit and the clamp and blanking circuits.
