The CCD 486 is a 4k x 4k charge coupled device (CCD) full frame image sensor. The CCD is intended for advanced scientific, space, medical, industrial and commercial digital imaging applications. The focal plane is an array of 4096 horizontal by 4096 vertical imaging elements. The pixel pitch is 15µm with a 100% fill factor. For dark references, each readout line is preceded by 18 dark pixels. A multiport split readout architecture has been adopted to accommodate high frame rates through four output ports, and slower readout modes through two output channels or a single readout port in order to simplify the drive electronics. A single stage source follower output amplifier design was chosen for low noise performance. The imager is available in a frontside as well as back-illuminated configuration. To see this device in a cooled scientific CCD camera, please click on the Peregrine 486. The Condor 486 offers this same device in a fiber optic coupled x-ray CCD camera.
