CCD multichannel detector head
C7180
C7181
Detector heads for back-thinned CCD area
image sensor
The C7180 and C7181 are high-sensitivity multichannel detector heads designed for 512 × 512 pixel, back-thinned FFT-CCD
area image sensors (S7170-0909, S7171-0909-01). The C7180 works with non-cooled type back-thinned CCD area image
sensor (S7170-0909-01) and the C7181 with one-stage thermoelectrically cooled type (S7171-0909-01). Both the C7180 and
C7181 have a low noise driver/amplifier circuit that operates the CCD image sensor by input of simple external signals.
The C7181 also includes a highly stable temperature controller that cools the sensor to a preset temperature level (Td=-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. 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 the C7557-01 is also available. The software supplied with the C7557-01 allows easy control of
the multichannel detector head and data acquisition.

Selection guide
The table below shows CCD area image sensors applicable for the C7180, C7181.
Since the C7180, C7181 do not include a CCD area image sensor, so select the desired sensor and order it separately.

*1: In normal CCD image sensors that receive light from the front surface, the photosensitive area is covered with transparent
electrodes for charge transfer. 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 transparent electrodes.
*2: The FFT-CCD was originally designed as a two-dimensional image sensor. However, it 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).

· CD-R (MCD USB driver, software, operation manual)
· MOS adapter*11
*10: Contained in the holder just above the AC cable connector on the C7557-01 rear panel.
*11: When operating the NMOS multichannel detector head, always be sure to attach the MOS adapter (supplied) to the C7557-01 main
unit. If the the NMOS multichannel detector head is connected and the power is turned on without attaching the adapter, the power
supply in the C7557-01 main unit may be damaged.
