KAF-0402 768 (H) x 512 (V) Full Frame CCD Image Sensor Description The KAF−0402 Image Sensor is a high performance area CCD (charge-coupled device) image sensor with 768 (H) × 512 (V) photoactive pixels designed for a wide range of image sensing applications. The sensor incorporates true two-phase CCD technology, simplifying the support circuits required to drive the sensor as well as reducing dark current without compromising charge capacity. The sensor also utilizes the TRUESENSE Transparent Gate Electrode to improve sensitivity compared to the use of a standard front side illuminated polysilicon electrode. Optional microlenses focus the majority of the light through the transparent gate, increasing the optical response further. www.onsemi.com Table 1.

Block Diagram The sensor consists of 784 parallel (vertical) CCD shift registers each 520 elements long. These registers act as both the photosensitive elements and as the transport circuits that allow the image to be sequentially read out of the sensor. The parallel (vertical) CCD registers transfer the image one line at a time into a single 796-element (horizontal) CCD shift register. The horizontal register transfers the charge to a single output amplifier. The output amplifier is a two-stage source follower that converts the photo-generated charge to a voltage for each pixel. Microlenses Microlenses are formed along each row. They are effectively half of a cylinder centered on the transparent gates, extending continuously in the row direction. They act to direct the photons away from the polysilicon gate and through the transparent gate. This increases the response, especially at the shorter wavelengths (< 600 nm). Microlens V1 V2 Silicon Figure 3. Microlens www.onsemi.com 3 KAF−0402 H1 H2 H1 HCCD Charge Transfer H2 VDD VOG R VRD Floating Diffusion VOUT Source Follower #1 Source Follower #2 Figure 4. Output Schematic false signal depending on operating conditions. There are two more dummy pixels at the end of each line. Output Structure Charge presented to the floating diffusion is converted into a voltage and current amplified in order to drive off-chip loads. The resulting voltage change seen at the output is linearly related to the amount of charge placed on the floating diffusion. Once the signal has been sampled by the system electronics, the reset gate (fR) is clocked to remove the signal and the floating diffusion is reset to the potential applied by Vrd (see Figure 4). More signal at the floating diffusion reduces the voltage seen at the output pin. In order to activate the output structure, an off-chip load must be added to the Vout pin of the device such as shown in Figure 8. Image Acquisition An electronic representation of an image is formed when incident photons falling on the sensor plane create electron-hole pairs within the sensor. These photon induced electrons are collected locally by the formation of potential wells at each photogate or pixel site. The number of electrons collected is linearly dependent on light level and exposure time and non-linearly dependent on wavelength. When the pixel’s capacity is reached, excess electrons will leak into the adjacent pixels within the same column. This is termed blooming. During the integration period, the fV1 and fV2 register clocks are held at a constant (low) level. See Figure 9. Dark Reference Pixels There are 4 light shielded pixels at the beginning of each line, and 12 at the end. There are 4 dark lines at the start of every frame and 4 dark lines at the end of each frame. Under normal circumstances, these pixels do not respond to light. However, dark reference pixels in close proximity to an active pixel can scavenge signal depending on light intensity and wavelength and therefore will not represent the true dark signal. Charge Transport Referring again to Figure 10, the integrated charge from each photogate is transported to the output using a two-step process. Each line (row) of charge is first transported from the vertical CCD to the horizontal CCD register using the fV1 and fV2 register clocks. The horizontal CCD is presented a new line on the falling edge of fV2 while fH1 is held high. The horizontal CCD then transports each line, pixel by pixel, to the output structure by alternately clocking the fH1 and fH2 pins in a complementary fashion. On each falling edge of fH2 a new charge packet is transferred onto a floating diffusion and sensed by the output amplifier. Dummy Pixels Within the horizontal shift register are 10 leading additional pixels that are not associated with a column of pixels within the vertical register. These pixels contain only horizontal shift register dark current signal and do not respond to light. A few leading dummy pixels may scavenge www.onsemi.com 4 KAF−0402 Physical Description Pin Description and Device Orientation VOG 1 24 N/C Pin 1 VOUT 2 23 GUARD Pixel 1,1 VDD 3 22 fV1 VRD 4 21 fV1 fR 5 20 fV2 VSS 6 19 fV2 fH1 7 18 fV2 fH2 8 17 fV2 N/C 9 16 fV1 N/C 10 15 fV1 14 VSUB VSUB 11 N/C 12 13 N/C Figure 5.
