Description
The TC246CYM is a frame interline transfer CCD image sensor designed for use in
single-chip color NTSC TV, computer, and special-purpose applications requiring low
noise, high sensitivity, high speed and low smear.
The TC246CYM is a new device of the IMPACTRONTM family of very-low noise, high
sensitivity, high speed and low smear sensors that multiply charge directly in the charge
domain before conversion to voltage. The charge carrier multiplication (CCM) is
achieved by using a low-noise single-carrier, impact ionization process that occurs during
repeated carrier transfers through high field regions. Applying multiplication pulses to
specially designed gates activates the CCM. Multiplication gain is variable by
adjusting the amplitude of the multiplication pulses. The device function resembles the
function of an image intensifier implemented in solid state.

680 x 500 PIXEL IMPACTRONTM COMPLEMENTARY COLOR CCD IMAGE SENSOR
SOCS089 – MAY 2005
The image-sensing area of the TC246CYM is configured into 500 lines with 680 pixels in
each line. 20 pixels are reserved in each line for dark reference. The blooming protection
is based on an advanced lateral overflow drain concept that does not reduce NIR
response. The frame interline transfer from the image sensing area to the memory area is
implemented to minimize image smear. After charge is integrated and stored in the
memory it is available for readout in the next cycle. This is accomplished by using a
unique serial register design that includes special charge multiplication pixels.
The TC246CYM sensor is built using TI-proprietary advanced Split-Gate Virtual-Phase
CCD (SGVPCCD) technology, which provides devices with wide spectral response, high
quantum efficiency (QE), low dark current, and high response uniformity.
This MOS device contains limited built-in protection. During storage or handling, the device leads
should be shorted together or the device should be placed in conductive foam. In a circuit, unused
inputs should always be connected to Vss. Under no circumstances should pin voltages exceed
absolute maximum ratings. Avoid shorting OUT to Vss during operation to prevent damage to the
amplifier. The device can also be damaged if the output and ADB terminals are reverse-biased and
excessive current is allowed to flow. Specific guidelines for handling devices of this type are
contained in the publication “Guidelines for Handling Electrostatic-Discharge-Sensitive (ESD)
Devices and Assemblies” available from Texas Instruments.

Detailed description
The TC246CYM consists of five basic functional blocks: The image-sensing area, the
image–storage area, the serial register, the charge multiplier, and the charge detection
node with buffer amplifier. The location of each of these blocks is identified in the
functional block diagram.
Image-sensing and storage areas
As light enters the silicon in the image-sensing area, electrons are generated and collected
in potential wells of the pixels. Color is accomplished by on-chip color mosaic filter. (see
the sensor topology diagram for a mapping of the color filter) Applying a suitable DC
bias to the antiblooming drain provides blooming protection. The electrons that exceed a
specific level, determined by the ODB bias, are drained away from the pixels. After the
integration cycle is completed by applying a PD-cell readout pulse to IAG2, charge is
transferred from the PD-cell into the V-cell and then quickly transferred into the storage
cell where it waits for readout. 2 lines can be summed together to implement the pseudointerlace scan.

20 columns at the left edge and 2 columns at the right edge of the image-sensing area are
shielded from the incident light. These pixels provide the dark reference used in
subsequent video-processing circuits to restore the video-black level. Additionally, 4 dark
lines, located between the image sensing area and the image-storage area, were added to
the array for isolation.
Advanced lateral overflow drain
Each pixel is constructed with the advanced lateral overflow drain structure. By varying
the DC bias of the anti-blooming drain it is possible to control the blooming protection
level and trade it for well capacity.
Electronic exposure control
Precise exposure control timing on a frame-by-frame basis is possible. The integration
time can be arbitrarily shortened from its nominal length by clearing residual charge from
the PD-cell. To do this, apply a PD-cell clear pulse to IAG2, which marks the beginning
of integration.
Serial register and charge multiplier
The serial register of TC246CYM image sensor consists of only poly-silicon gates. It
operates at high speed, being clocked from 0V to 8V. This allows the sensor to work at
60 Fields/s. The serial register is used for transporting charge stored in the pixels of the
memory lines to the output amplifier. The TC246CYM device has a serial register with
twice the standard length. The first half has a conventional design that interfaces with the
memory as it would in any other CCD sensor. The second half, however, is unique and
includes 400 charge multiplication stages with a number of dummy pixels that are needed
to transport charge between the active register blocks and the output amplifier. Charge is
multiplied as it progresses from stage to stage in the multiplier toward the charge
detection node. The charge multiplication level depends on the amplitude of the
multiplication pulses (approximately 15V~22V) applied to the multiplication gate. Due to
the double length of the register, first 2 lines in each field or frame scan do not contain
valid data and should be discarded.
Charge detection node and buffer amplifier
The last element of the charge detection and readout chain is the charge detection node
with the buffer amplifier. The charge detection node is using a standard Floating
Diffusion (FD) concept followed by an on-chip, dual-stage, source-follower buffer.
Applying a pulse to the RST pin resets the detection node. To achieve the ultimate sensor
performance it is necessary to eliminate kTC noise. This is typically accomplished by
using CDS (correlated double sampling) processing techniques. IMPACTRONTM devices
have the potential for detecting single electrons (photons) when cooled sufficiently.

Notes:
1. All voltage values are with respect to substrate terminal.
2. The Peltier cooler generates heat during cooling process. Heat must be removed through
an external heat sink. In order to avoid condensation upon the surface do not cool the CCD to less
than -20 degrees C.

processing technique that improves performance by minimizing undesirable effects of reset noise.
Notes :
3. Excess Noise Factor “F” is defined as the ratio of noise sigma after multiplication divided by M
times the noise sigma before multiplication where M is the charge multiplication gain.
4. Dynamic Range is –20 times the logarithm of the noise sigma divided by the saturation–output
signal amplitude
5. Charge conversion factor is defined as the ratio of output signal to input number of electrons.
6. Signal-response delay time is the time between the falling edge of the SRG1 pulse and the outputsignal valid state.
7. Charge transfer efficiency is one minus the charge loss per transfer in the CCD register. The test is
performed in the dark using either electrical or optical input.

Notes:
8. Light source temperature is 2856 °K. The IR filter used is CM500 1mm thick.
9. Saturation is the condition in which further increase in exposure does not lead to further increases
in output signal.
10. Zero input offset is the residual output signal measured from the reset level with no input charge
present. This level is not caused by the dark current and remains approximately constant
independent of temperature. It may vary with the amplitude of SRG1.
11. Blooming is the condition in which charge induced by light in one element spills over to the
neighboring elements.

12. Smear is the measure of error signal introduced into the pixels by transferring them through the
illuminated region into the memory. The illuminated region is 1/10 of the image area height. The
value in the table is obtained for the integration time of 33.3ms and 1.5 MHz vertical clock
transfer frequency.
13. Dark current depends on temperature and approximately doubles every 8 Co. Dark current is also
multiplied by CCM operation. The value given in the table is with the multiplier turned off and it
is a calculated value.
14. Dark signal is actual device output measured in dark.
15. Column uniformity is obtain by summing all the lines in the array, finding the maximum of the
difference of two neighboring columns anywhere in the array, and dividing the result by the
number of lines.

Mechanical data
The package for the TC246CYM consists of a ceramic base, a glass window, and a 24pin lead frame. The glass window is hermetically sealed to the package. The package
leads are configured in a dual-in-line arrangement and fit into mounting holes with 1,78
mm center-to-center spacing.
Attention
Be careful when attaching an external heat sink to the package. Fastening it too strongly
may crack or puncture the package, making it susceptible to moisture or humidity.

applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with customer products and applications, customers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any TI patent right, copyright, mask work right,
or other TI intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI products or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license from TI to use such products or services or a
warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual
property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied
by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. Reproduction of this information with alteration is an unfair and deceptive
business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional
restrictions.
Resale of TI products or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that product or service voids all
