CCD30-11

CCD30–11 Open Electrode High Performance CCD Sensor FEATURES * 1024 by 256 Pixel Format * 26 mm Square Pixels * Image Area 26.6 x 6.7 mm * Wide Dynamic Range * Symmetrical Anti-static Gate Protection * Open Electrode Structure for Enhanced Quantum Efficiency * Advanced Inverted Mode Operation * Anti-blooming Readout Register * Zero Light Emitting Output Amplifier APPLICATIONS * Spectroscopy * Scientific Imaging * TDI Operation INTRODUCTION The open electrode CCD30-11 is a high performance CCD sensor designed as an upgrade for the standard CCD30-11, for use in the scientific spectroscopy instrument market, where enhanced quantum efficiency is required at near-ultraviolet wavelengths. With an array of 1024 x 256 26 mm square pixels it has an imaging area to suit most spectrometer outputs of 26.6 x 6.7 mm (1.05 x 0.26 inch). The readout register is organised along the long (1024 pixel) edge of the sensor and contains an anti-blooming drain to allow high speed binning operations of low level signals which may be adjacent to much stronger signals. The novel output amplifier design has no light emission. Standard three phase clocking and buried channel charge transfer are employed and Inverted Mode Operation (IMO) is included as standard. The open electrode CCD30-11 is packaged in a 20-pin DIL ceramic package and is pin compatible (but not completely clock compatible) with the standard CCD30-11. Designers are advised to consult e2v technologies should they be considering using CC...
