s Block diagram
C9312SK-06 is a compact flat panel sensor consisting of a sensor board and a control board. The sensor board also has 16 charge-sensitive amplifier arrays each having 312 ch amplifiers with a horizontal shift register. Analog video signals are amplified as the charge on each video line by 4992 ch charge amplifiers with CDS (Correlated Double Sampling) circuits added, and are output each of 16 amplifier arrays. The control board converts the analog video signal into a 12-bit digital signal and outputs it to an external frame grabber through a couple of 12-bit parallel ports.

s External trigger mode
To acquire images in external trigger mode, input an external trigger pulse as shown below. When the time Tvd has passed after the rising edge of the external trigger pulse, synchronous signals and video signals are output. When used in synchronization with a pulsed X-ray source, X-rays should be irradiated during the Txray period.

s System requirements
C9312SK-06
To operate C9312SK-06 at full performance, the following system and peripherals are required. · PC: IBM compatible PC running on Windows XP · Digital frame grabber card: Monochrome 32 bits or more, pixel clock 33.3 MHz or more, LVDS interface synchronous signal (See the frame grabber manual.) · Power source: A. vdd = +5.0 ± 0.1 V (1.8 A), D. vdd = +5.0 ± 0.1 V (0.5 A). Please use a series power supply. (Avoid using a switching power supply.) A power cable (terminated with an DB-25SF-N plug with right angle type shell at one end and open at the other end; 2 m; see Table 2.), an external trigger cable (terminated with an FFA.OS.302.CLAC37 plug at one end and open at the other end; 5 m; see table 3.) and an earth cable (AWG 18; 4 m) comes supplied with C9312SK-06. An optional frame grabber cable for interface with the 80-pin receptacle (see Table 1) on C9312SK06 is also available for synchronous signal, 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. Install a noise filter on the AC power input line to prevent surges on the AC line. To supply the synchronous signal through ExtTrgGrb, apply high level of TTL to ExtTrgLemo and IntExt, or leave them without connection. On the contrary, to use ExtTrgLemo, set high level to ExtTrgGrb and IntExt, or leave them without connection. The earth terminal must be connected to a stable earth point to eliminate noise from surroundings.

s Notice · Do not subject the Flat Panel Sensors to strong vibration or shock. (Strong shock such as drop impacts may cause permanent damage to these sensors.) · Users must take responsibility for implementing X-ray shielding safety measures to avoid the risk of X-ray exposure. · Data listed in this datasheet is defind at the time of shipment. Characteristics may vary somewhat due to exposure to X-rays so take proper countermeasures such as making periodic image correction. · This product is warranted for a period of 12 months after the date of the shipment. The warranty is limited to replacement or repair of any defective product due to defects in workmanship or materials used in manufacture. The warranty does not cover loss or damage caused by natural disaster, misuse (including modifications and any use not complying with the environment, application, usage and storage conditions described in this datasheet), or total radiation dose over 6 million Roentgen (less than 110 kVp) even within the warranty period. · As described above, flat panel sensors have limited resistance to radiation. This must be taken into account when using a flat panel sensor under continuous irradiation (in-line non-destructive inspection, etc.) When using flat panel sensors in non-destructive inspection equipment, please contact us and provide information such as irradiation conditions.
C9312SK-06 conforms to European EMC directives: EN61326 Class A.
