Flat panel sensor
C9732DK-11
For soft X-ray imaging, cassette type with USB 2.0 interface
Large photodiode area: 120 × 120 mm
The C9732DK-11 is two-dimensional CMOS image sensor module designed for X-ray imaging which requires high resolution,
large area and wide dynamic range. A target material of X-ray source and X-ray energy adequate for the sensor is Mo and 17
keV. The device shape is thin cassette which incorporate on-chip high-resolution scintillator and a control board. An on-board
USB 2.0 interface can realize fast data transfer with the C9732DK-11.
Features
Applications
2400 × 2400 pixels (50 μm pitch)
X-ray imaging (optimized to 17 keV)
High resolution
14-bit digital output (USB 2.0 interface)
High-speed imaging: 1 frame/s
No dead area (insensitive area) due to seamless structure
Compatible with Hamamatsu API (DCAM-API)
Structure
The C9732DK-11 is comprised of a sensor board and a control board. Mounted on the sensor board is a CMOS image sensor chip made up of a
two-dimensional photodiode array, row-scanning vertical shift register, and 8 charge amplifier arrays. Each charge amplifier array has a horizontal
shift register and consists of 300 ch charge amplifiers with CDS circuit.
CsI scintillator is directly deposited on the two-dimensional photodiode array. X-rays incident on the scintillator are converted to fluorescence,
which then enters the two-dimensional photodiode array where electric charge is accumulated in each pixel according to the light intensity. The
accumulated charge on each row is sequentially selected by the row-scanning vertical shift register, transferred to the amplifiers through the data
line, and converted to a voltage signal. Then an analog signal is sent out from each amplifier array by scanning the horizontal shift register.
The control board converts the analog signal into a 14-bit digital signal, which is then output to a PC through the USB 2.0 interface.

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 defined 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 X-ray radiation dose over 45000 R (390 Gy) even within the warranty period
[incident X-ray energy: less than 35 kVp (17 keV Mo source)].

for horizontal lines, where “a” and “b” are defined as follows:
Note that the average sensitivity of the bright line is calculated from the region adjacent to
the defect region in the defect line.
