FEATURES  1920 × 4608 Pixels Pixel size is 16 µm square  Eight parallel analogue output ports Each port has both reset and signal levels; external subtraction can give CDS  Back-illuminated sensitivity and low readout noise Excellent image quality  An easy to drive image sensor for use in astronomy and science applications Serial buses for row and column addresses  Can be butted together on three sides Large focal plane arrays can be built  Delivered in robust transport and handling jig OVERVIEW This sensor has a large image area, 30.72 mm × 73.73 mm, with 1920 × 4608 pixels at 16 µm square. It is read out through 8 parallel analogue output ports, normally in rolling shutter mode. Each port has both reference and signal level outputs for both external CDS subtraction and to improve common mode noise rejection. Row and column addresses are input on serial buses, with separate row addressing for each half of the device and separate column addressing for each group of 240 columns. In full frame mode the basic readout rate is 1.8 fps, but by only reading a selection of row and column addresses it is possible to read a large number of small “Regions Of Interest” (ROI) and achieve a frame rate up to 20 fps. This is particularly useful when monitoring images like star fields, where most of the area is black. This package has minimal dead space on 3 sides to allow close butting to form a mosaic array.
