RA1133J Datasheet | PerkinElmer Optoelectronics

Description The RA1133J is a full frame CCD sensor with reset capabilities designed specifically for use in spectroscopy, biomedical imaging and related scientific imaging applications. The package for the array is designed with an integrated two stage thermoelectric cooler. This enables the device to be run 40° C below ambient temperature, -15° C when pared to room temperature. Its bination of very low noise and low dark current make it ideal for low light, high dynamic range and high resolution applications. MPP Operation A major source of dark current in devices such as this originates in surface states at the Si-Si O2 interface. A unigue design and process enables the RA1133J to be run in "multi-pinned phase" or MPP mode of operation. This helps eliminate dark current generation in the interface surface states. By holding the vertical clocks at negative potential during integration and horizontal signal readout, the surface will not be depleted and the surface state will not generate dark current. Features - 363,000 picture elements (pixels) in a 1100 x 330 configuration - 24 µm square pixels - 2-phase buried channel process - On-chip amplifier for low noise and high speed readout - Dynamic range greater than 25,000:1 - On-chip temperature sensor - Two stage TE cooler integrated into the package - Hermetically sealed - 100% fill factor - 10 MHz data rate The imager is structured with a single output register at one end of the imaging columns. A lateral reset drain is located adjacent to this readout register which enables the dumping of accumulated charge from the array. Two phase clocks are needed to drive the readout register. Three phase clocks are needed to drive imaging cells. The array is available in a 30-pin metal package with an integrated TE cooler as shown in Figure 1. Package dimensions are shown in Figure 8. Caution: While the RA1133J imagers have been designed to resist electrostatic discharge (ESD), they can be damaged from such discharges....
