MaxLinear, Inc. Analog Front End (AFE) XRD9827ACU-F

The XRD9827ACU-F is a 12-bit linear analog front end (AFE) signal processor designed for use with color and grayscale flatbed and sheetfed scanners, multifunction peripherals, digital color copiers, and general-purpose imaging applications. It features a one-channel pixel rate of 6 MSPS and a triple-channel pixel rate of 2 MSPS, making it suitable for high-speed data acquisition. This device includes a 6-bit programmable gain amplifier with a gain range of 1 to 10 and an 8-bit programmable offset adjustment, allowing for flexible signal processing. The XRD9827ACU-F supports both charge-coupled device (CCD) and contact image sensor (CIS) configurations, with an internal clamp for AC-coupled signals and the option for DC coupling in CIS applications. It operates at either 3.0V or 5V and has a low power consumption of approximately 200 mW. The product is available in a 20-lead SSOP package and is USB compliant, making it easy to integrate into various systems. Its specifications and features make it a viable option for engineers looking for a cost-effective solution for imaging and data acquisition tasks.
