FEATURES  1504 × 2000 Pixels Pixel size is 7 × 7 µm  Four parallel analogue output ports Each port has both reset and signal levels  Back-illuminated spectral response and low readout noise Excellent image quality  An easy to drive image sensor for use in space applications Parallel buses for row and column addresses  Ceramic pin grid array package OVERVIEW The sensor has an image area with 1504 × 2000 pixels, read out through 4 parallel analogue output ports in rolling shutter mode. Each port has both reset and signal levels to allow external CDS subtraction and to improve common mode rejection. The pixel size is 7 µm square. Row and Column addresses are input as parallel buses, so by only reading a selection of row addresses it is possible to read a range of regions of interest (ROI) and achieve a higher frame rate. In the same way a selection of columns can be chosen, but this is more restricted due to the common address for all four blocks of columns. The output amplifier is designed to give very low noise at readout rates of 6.2 MP/s. The package is a robust and proven design for use in space. A temporary window is attached for some testing and for shipping, while for the final application it is expected that this window will be removed.
