The image area contains a full 1024 by 1024 pixels which are 13 mm square. The output register is split, allowing either or both of the two output amplifiers to be employed, and is provided with a drain and control gate for charge dump purposes. In common with all e2v technologies CCD Sensors, the CCD4720 is available with a fibre-optic window or taper, a UV coating or a phosphor coating for X-ray detection. Other variants of the CCD47-20 include IMO, back-thinned and full-frame devices. Designers are advised to consult e2v technologies should they be considering using CCD sensors in abnormal environments or if they require customised packaging.

Signal level at which resolution begins to degrade. 2. Measured between 233 and 253 K and VSS +9.0 V. Dark signal at any temperature T (kelvin) may be estimated from: Qd/Qd0 = 122T3e76400/T where Qd0 is the dark signal at T = 293 K (20 8C). 3. Test carried out at e2v technologies on all sensors. 4. Dynamic range is the ratio of readout noise to full well capacity measured at 243 K and 20 kHz readout speed. 5. CCD characterisation measurements made using charge generated by X-ray photons of known energy. 6. Measured using a dual-slope integrator technique (i.e. correlated double sampling) with a 20 ms integration period. 7. Readout at speeds in excess of 5 MHz into a 15 pF load can be achieved but performance to the parameters given cannot be guaranteed. 8. Measured between 233 and 253 K, excluding white defects. White column Black column GRADE Column defects: black or slipped white Black spots Traps 4200 e7 White spots Grade 5 Are counted when they have a generation rate 25 times the specified maximum dark signal generation rate (measured between 233 and 253 K). The amplitude of white spots will vary in the same manner as dark current, i.e.: Qd/Qd0 = 122T3e76400/T A column which contains at least 21 white defects. A column which contains at least 21 black defects. 0 0 0 15 1 20 1 2 0 25 2 30 2 6 0 100 5 50 BLEMISH SPECIFICATION Traps Pixels where charge is temporarily held. Traps are counted if they have a capacity greater than 200 e7 at 243 K. Are counted if they have an amplitude greater than 200 e7. Are counted when they have a signal level of less than 90% of the local mean at a signal level of approximately half fullwell. Devices which are fully functioning, with image quality below that of grade 2, and which may not meet all other performance parameters. Slipped columns Black spots Minimum separation between adjacent black columns . . . . . . . . . 50 pixels Note The effect of temperature on defects is that traps will be observed less at higher temperatures but more may appear below 233 K. The amplitude of white spots and columns will decrease rapidly with temperature.

However, some adjustment within the minimum to maximum range may be required for to optimise performance for critical applications. It should be noted that conditions for optimum performance may differ from device to device. 14. With the R1 connections shown, the device will operate through the left-hand output only.
