IMAGE SENSOR Flat panel sensor C7942CA, C7943CA Acquire digital X-ray image in real time and 170 & 176 mm diagonal size Hamamatsu C7942CA and C7943CA Flat Panel Sensors are digital X-ray image sensors newly developed as key devices for non-destructive inspection, biomedical imaging, X-ray microscopy and other real-time X-ray imaging applications requiring high resolution and high image quality. C7942CA and C7943CA consist of a sensor board and a control board, both assembled in a thin, flat and compact package. The sensor board contains a CsI scintillator plate, a two-dimensional photodiode array with FET switches and a signal processing IC chip. The photodiode array has a 2400 × 2400 (C7942CA) or 1248 × 1248 (C7943CA) pixel format with minimized blooming and is highly sensitive to bluish green light emitted from the CsI scintillator. Each row of pixels is addressed in sequence by the vertical shift register connected to the gate line. Light emission occurs when X-rays are absorbed in the CsI scintillator. This light emission enters directly into the two-dimensional photodiode array where an electric charge is stored in each pixel according to the light intensity. This charge is then transferred to the corresponding data line by applying a control signal to the vertical shift register. The sensor board also has 8 charge sensitive amplifier arrays each having 300 channel (C7942CA) or 156 channel (C7943CA) amplifiers with a horizontal shift register. These amplifiers with a total of 2400 channels (C7942CA) or 1248 channels (C7943CA) are connected to a CDS (Correlated Double Sampling) circuit that senses the charge on each video line and sends it as the analog video signal from each amplifier array. The control board converts the analog video signal into a 12-bit digital signal and outputs it to an external frame grabber from a 12-bit parallel port. C7943CA delivers a frame rate of 30 frames per second using 4 × 4 binning and is ideal for high frame rate applications. On the other hand, C7942CA is ideal for applications requiring high resolution because of its 50 µm pixel size. Massive digital image data can easily be monitored on a display unit by using a frame grabber board and video memory installed in the PC. C7942CA and C7943CA will prove ideal tools for real-time Xray imaging and processing where easy-to-use, high-resolution X-ray digital image sensors are needed.

PC: IBM compatible PC running on Windows 98 or later operating system Digital frame grabber card: Monochrome 16 bits or more, pixel clock 16 MHz or more, RS-422 interface synchronous signal (See the frame grabber manual.) The National Instruments IMAQ PCI-1424 (NI parts No. 777662-01) frame grabber with optional memory 64 MB (NI parts No. 920130-64) has been verified to successfully acquire 12-bit digital images from both C7942CA and C7943CA. The IMAQ PCI1422 (NI parts No. 777959-01) also acquires satisfactory images from C7943CA. You can utilize the demonstration software that comes with the frame grabber as a simple viewer, to acquire and save an image. To do so, refer to the frame grabber user’s guide for how to use the camera information file for the demonstration software. Power source: A. Vdd = +5.0 ± 0.1 V (700 mA), D. Vdd = +5.0 ± 0.1 V (1000 mA), V (±7.5) = ±7.5 ± 0.5 V (±100 mA). Use of a series power supply is recommended. (Avoid using a switching power supply.) A power cable (terminated with an FGG.2B.307.CLAD92Z plug at one end and open at the other end; 2 m; see Table 2.) comes supplied with C7942CA and C7943CA. An optional 36-pin cable for interface with the 36-pin receptacle (see Table 1) on C7942CA and C7943CA is also available for synchronous signal input, video output and external control. The voltages described above are specified at the flat panel sensor side. The impedance of the power cable attached with the flat panel sensor is low enough but it causes 0.1 V approx. drop. Therefore the voltage at the power source side should be set 0.1 V higher than the voltage specified above.
