CCD multichannel detector heads C7043 C7044 Designed for back-thinned CCD area image sensor The C7043 and C7044 are high sensitivity multichannel detector heads for use with back-thinned FFT-CCD area image sensors (S7033/ S7034 series) that offer large full well capacity. The C7043 is designed for the non-cooled back-thinned type (S7033 series), while the C7044 for the one-stage TE-cooled type (S7034 series) for detection at even lower light levels. Both the C7043 and C7044 incorporate a low-noise driver/amplifier circuit that provides reliable operation from simple external signals. The C7044 also includes a highly stable temperature controller that cools the sensor to a preset temperature level (Ts=-10 °C) as soon as the power is turned on. If the cooler fails and causes internal circuitry to overheat, the built-in protection circuit automatically turns off the power to the thermoelectric cooler. Despite its compact size, the housing configuration is designed for good heat dissipation, and threaded mounting holes on the front panel allow connections to other devices such as monochrometers. Controller for multichannel detector head C7557-01 is also available. The software supplied with the C7557-01 allows easy control of the multichannel detector head and data acquisition. Features Applications Designed for back-thinned CCD area image sensor *1 C7043: for non-cooled type C7044: for TE-cooled type Fluorescence spectroscopy Line binning operation *2/area scanning operation Raman spectroscopy Other low-light-level detection Driver/amplifier circuit for low noise CCD operation Highly stable temperature controller (C7044) Cooling temperature: -10 °C ± 0.05 °C Simple signal input operation Compact configuration Selection guide The table below shows CCD area image sensors applicable for the C7043 and C7044. Since the C7043 and C7044 do not include a CCD area image sensor, so select the desired sensor and order it separately.

These electrodes cut off UV radiation incident on the image sensor and also reduce the quantum efficiency. In contrast, back-thinned CCD image sensors have a unique structure in which the back of the active area is finely ground to allow light to enter from the back surface. This structure ensures high UV sensitivity and quantum efficiency because incident light need not pass through the electrodes. *2: The CCD area image sensor can be operated like a linear image sensor having a large active area by transferring all the pixel signals in the vertical direction to the horizontal register (this is referred to as line binning). www.hamamatsu.com 1 CCD multichannel detector heads C7043, C7044 Absolute maximum ratings Parameter Supply voltage (for digital circuitry) Supply voltage (for analog circuitry) Supply voltage Digital input voltage Operating temperature Storage temperature Symbol VD1, VD2 VA1+ VA1VA2 Vp VF - C7043 C7044 C7043 C7044 Topr Tstg Min. -0.5 0 +10 -20 0 Typ. - Max. +7 +18 -18 +30 +7 +14 VD1 +50 +35 *3 +70 +50 Unit V °C *3: The maximum value may be lower, depending on the drive frequency and the number of sensor pixels.
