CCD201-20 Back Illuminated 2-Phase IMO Series Electron Multiplying CCD Sensor
INTRODUCTION
The CCD201 is a large format sensor (41k ) in the L3Vision range of products from e2v technologies. This device uses a novel output amplifier circuit that is capable of operating at an equivalent output noise of less than one electron at pixel rates of over 15 MHz. This makes the sensor well suited for scientific imaging where the illumination is limited. The sensor is a frame transfer device and can operate in inverted mode to suppress dark current as this is now the dominant noise source (even at high readout rate). The image and store sections are designed to operate in 2-phase mode, to maximise the highest achievable parallel transfer frequency.
