KAI-04022 2048 (H) x 2048 (V) Interline CCD Image Sensor Description The KAI−04022 Image Sensor is a high-performance 4-million pixel sensor designed for a wide range of medical, scientific and machine vision applications. The 7.4 mm square pixels with microlenses provide high sensitivity and the large full well capacity results in high dynamic range. The two high-speed outputs and binning capabilities allow for 16−50 frames per second (fps) video rate for the progressively scanned images. The vertical overflow drain structure provides anti-blooming protection and enables electronic shuttering for precise exposure control. Other features include low dark current, negligible lag and low smear. www.onsemi.com Table 1.

Sensor Architecture out Video R. Each row consists of 12 empty pixels followed by 28 light shielded pixels followed by 1,028 photosensitive pixels. When reconstructing the image, data from Video R will have to be reversed in a line buffer and appended to the Video L data. There are no dark reference rows at the top and 10 dark rows at the bottom of the image sensor. The 10 dark rows are not entirely dark and so should not be used for a dark reference level. Use the 28 dark columns on the left or right side of the image sensor as a dark reference. Of the 28 dark columns, the first and last dark columns should not be used for determining the zero signal level. Some light does leak into the first and last dark columns. Only use the center 26 columns of the 28 column dark reference. There are 10 light shielded rows followed 2,062 photoactive rows. The first 6 and the last 8 photoactive rows are buffer rows giving a total of 2,048 lines of image data. In the single output mode all pixels are clocked out of the Video L output in the lower left corner of the sensor. The first 12 empty pixels of each line do not receive charge from the vertical shift register. The next 28 pixels receive charge from the left light-shielded edge followed by 2,056 photo-sensitive pixels and finally 28 more light shielded pixels from the right edge of the sensor. The first and last 4 photosensitive pixels are buffer pixels giving a total of 2,048 pixels of image data. In the dual output mode the clocking of the right half of the horizontal CCD is reversed. The left half of the image is clocked out Video L and the right half of the image is clocked www.onsemi.com 3 KAI−04022 Pixel ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ËËËËË ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ËËËËË ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ËËËËË ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ËËËËË ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ Top View Direction of Charge Transfer Cross Section Down Through VCCD V1 V2 V1 7.4 mm V1 Photodiode Transfer Gate ÉÉ ÉÉ ÉÉ ÉÉ n− V2 n− ÉÉ ÉÉ n− n p Well (GND) Direction of Charge Transfer 7.4 mm n Substrate True Two Phase Burried Channel VCCD Lightshield over VCCD not shown Cross Section Through Photodiode and VCCD Phase 1 Cross Section Through Photodiode and VCCD Phase 2 at Transfer Gate Light Shield Light Shield É É p Photodiode ÉÉ ÏÏÏÏÏÏÏ É ÉÉ ÉÉÏÏÏÏÏÏÏÉ ÉÉ V1 p+ n p n Transfer Gate p+ p p n p ÏÏÏÏÏÏ ÉÉ ÏÏÏÏÏÏÉÉ V2 n p p p n Substrate n Substrate NOTE: Drawings not scale. p Cross Section Showing Lenslet Lenslet Red Color Filter Light Shield Light Shield VCCD VCCD Photodiode Figure 3. Pixel Architecture An electronic representation of an image is formed when incident photons falling on the sensor plane create electron-hole pairs within the individual silicon photodiodes. These photoelectrons are collected locally by the formation of potential wells at each photosite. Below photodiode saturation, the number of photoelectrons collected at each pixel is linearly dependent upon light level and exposure time and non-linearly dependent on wavelength. When the photodiodes charge capacity is reached, excess electrons are discharged into the substrate to prevent blooming. www.onsemi.com 4 KAI−04022 Vertical to Horizontal Transfer ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ËËËËËË ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ËËËËËË ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ËËËËËË ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ËËËËËË ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ËËËËËË ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ËËËËËË ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ËËËËËË ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉÉ ÉÉÉÉÉÉ ÉÉÉÉÉÉ ËË ËË ËË ËË ËË ËË ËË ËË ËË ËË ËË ËË ËË ËË Top View Direction of Vertical Charge Transfer V1 Photodiode Transfer Gate V2 V1 Fast Line Dump V2 H2B H2S H1B Lightshield Not Shown H1S Direction of Horizontal Charge Transfer Figure 4. Vertical to Horizontal Transfer Architecture When the V1 and V2 timing inputs are pulsed, charge in every pixel of the VCCD is shifted one row towards the HCCD. The last row next to the HCCD is shifted into the HCCD. When the VCCD is shifted, the timing signals to the HCCD must be stopped. H1 must be stopped in the high state and H2 must be stopped in the low state. The HCCD clocking may begin tHD ms after the falling edge of the V1 and V2 pulse. Charge is transferred from the last vertical CCD phase into the H1S horizontal CCD phase. Refer to Figure 36 for an example of timing that accomplishes the vertical to horizontal transfer of charge. If the fast line dump is held at the high level (FDH) during a vertical to horizontal transfer, then the entire line is removed and not transferred into the horizontal register. www.onsemi.com 5 KAI−04022 Horizontal Register to Floating Diffusion RD R n+ n OG n+ Floating Diffusion H2S H2B H1S ÏÏÏ H1B H2S ÏÏÏÏ n− n− n (burried channel) H2B H1S ÏÏÏÏ n− p (GND) n (SUB) Figure 5. Horizontal Register to Floating Diffusion Architecture fast line dump (FD) should be not be pulsed. This prevents unwanted noise from being introduced. The HCCD is a type of charge coupled device known as a pseudo-two phase CCD. This type of CCD has the ability to shift charge in two directions. This allows the entire image to be shifted out to the video L output, or to the video R output (left/right image reversal). The HCCD is split into two equal halves of 1,068 pixels each. When operating the sensor in single output mode the two halves of the HCCD are shifted in the same direction. When operating the sensor in dual output mode the two halves of the HCCD are shifted in opposite directions. The direction of charge transfer in each half is controlled by the H1BL, H2BL, H1BR, and H2BR timing inputs. The HCCD has a total of 2,124 pixels. The 2,112 vertical shift registers (columns) are shifted into the center 2,112 pixels of the HCCD. There are 12 pixels at both ends of the HCCD, which receive no charge from a vertical shift register. The first 12 clock cycles of the HCCD will be empty pixels (containing no electrons). The next 28 clock cycles will contain only electrons generated by dark current in the VCCD and photodiodes. The next 2,056 clock cycles will contain photo-electrons (image data). Finally, the last 28 clock cycles will contain only electrons generated by dark current in the VCCD and photodiodes. Of the 28 dark columns, the first and last dark columns should not be used for determining the zero signal level. Some light does leak into the first and last dark columns. Only use the center 26 columns of the 28 column dark reference.

Horizontal Register change the direction of charge transfer of the right side horizontal shift register. In dual output mode both VDDL and VDDR (pins 11, 24) should be connected to 15 V. The H1 timing from the timing diagrams should be applied to H1SL, H1BL, H1SR, H1BR, and the H2 timing should be applied to H2SL, H2BL, H2SR, and H2BR. The clock driver generating the H1 timing should be connected to pins 16, 15, 19, and 20. The clock driver generating the H2 timing should be connected to pins 17, 14, 18, and 21. The horizontal CCD should be clocked for 12 empty pixels plus 28 light shielded pixels plus 1,028 photoactive pixels for a total of 1,068 pixels. If the camera is to have the option of dual or single output mode, the clock driver signals sent to H1BR and H2BR may be swapped by using a relay. Another alternative is to have two extra clock drivers for H1BR and H2BR and invert the signals in the timing logic generator. If two extra clock drivers are used, care must be taken to ensure the rising and falling edges of the H1BR and H2BR clocks occur at the same time (within 3 ns) as the other HCCD clocks. Single Output Operation When operating the sensor in single output mode all pixels of the image sensor will be shifted out the Video L output (pin 12). To conserve power and lower heat generation the output amplifier for Video R may be turned off by connecting VDDR (pin 24) and VOUTR (pin 23) to GND (0 V). The H1 timing from the timing diagrams should be applied to H1SL, H1BL, H1SR, H2BR, and the H2 timing should be applied to H2SL, H2BL, H2SR, and H1BR. In other words, the clock driver generating the H1 timing should be connected to pins 16, 15, 19, and 21. The clock driver generating the H2 timing should be connected to pins 17, 14, 18, and 20. The horizontal CCD should be clocked for 12 empty pixels plus 28 light shielded pixels plus 2,056 photoactive pixels plus 28 light shielded pixels for a total of 2,124 pixels. Dual Output Operation In dual output mode the connections to the H1BR and H2BR pins are swapped from the single output mode to www.onsemi.com 7 KAI−04022 Output H2B H2S HCCD Charge Transfer H1B H1S H2B H2S VDD OG R RD Floating Diffusion VOUT Source Follower #1 Source Follower #2 Source Follower #3 Figure 7. Output Architecture This means a full signal of 20,000 electrons will produce a 640 mV change on the output amplifier. The output amplifier was designed to handle an output swing of 640 mV at a pixel rate of 40 MHz. If 40,000 electron charge packets are generated in the binned or summed interlaced modes then the output amplifier output will have to swing 1,280 mV. The output amplifier does not have enough bandwidth (slew rate) to handle 1,280 mV at 40 MHz. Hence, the pixel rate will have to be reduced to 20 MHz if the full dynamic range of 40,000 electrons is desired. The charge handling capacity of the output amplifier is also set by the reset clock voltage levels. The reset clock driver circuit is very simple, if an amplitude of 5 V is used. But the 5 V amplitude restricts the output amplifier charge capacity to 20,000 electrons. If the full dynamic range of 40,000 electrons is desired then the reset clock amplitude will have to be increased to 7 V. Charge packets contained in the horizontal register are dumped pixel by pixel onto the floating diffusion (FD) output node whose potential varies linearly with the quantity of charge in each packet. The amount of potential charge is determined by the expression DVFD = DQ / CFD. A three-stage source-follower amplifier is used to buffer this signal voltage off chip with slightly less than unity gain. The translation from the charge domain to the voltage domain is quantified by the output sensitivity or charge to voltage conversion in terms of microvolts per electron (mV/e−). After the signal has been sampled off chip, the reset clock (R) removes the charge from the floating diffusion and resets its potential to the reset drain voltage (RD). When the image sensor is operated in the binned or summed interlaced modes there will be more than 20,000 electrons in the output signal. The image sensor is designed with a 31 mV/e charge to voltage conversion on the output. www.onsemi.com 8 KAI−04022 The following table summarizes the previous explanation on the output amplifier’s operation. Certain trade-offs can be made based on application needs such as Dynamic Range or Pixel frequency. If you only want a maximum signal of 20,000 electrons in binned or summed interlaced modes, then a 40 MHz pixel rate with a 5 V reset clock may be used. The output of the amplifier will be unpredictable above 20,000 electrons so be sure to set the maximum input signal level of your analog to digital converter to the equivalent of 20,000 electrons (640 mV).

ESD Protection to forward bias these junctions then diodes D1 and D2 should be added to protect the image sensor. Put one diode D1 between the ESD and VSUB pins. Put one diode D2 on each pin that may forward bias the base-emitter junction. The diodes will prevent large currents from flowing through the image sensor. Note that external diodes D1 and D2 are optional and are only needed if it is possible to forward bias any of the junctions. Note that diodes D1 and D2 are added external to the KAI−04022. The ESD protection on the KAI−04022 is implemented using bipolar transistors. The substrate (VSUB) forms the common collector of all the ESD protection transistors. The ESD pin is the common base of all the ESD protection transistors. Each protected pin is connected to a separate emitter as shown in Figure 8. The ESD circuit turns on if the base-emitter junction voltage exceeds 17 V. Care must be taken while operating the image sensor, especially during the power on sequence, to not forward bias the base-emitter or base-collector junctions.

Summed Interlaced Scan Operation image sensor two fields, even and odd, are read out. In the even field rows 0 + 1, 2 + 3, 4 + 5, … are summed together. In the odd field rows 1 + 2, 3 + 4, 5 + 6, … are summed together. The modulation transfer function (MTF) of the summed interlaced scan mode is less in the vertical direction than the progressive scan. But the dynamic range is twice that of progressive scan. The vertical MTF is better than a simple binning operation. In this mode the VCCD needs to be clocked for only 1,037 rows to read out each field. In the summed interlaced scan read out mode, charge from two photodiodes is summed together inside the vertical CCD. The clocking of the VCCD is such that one pixel occupies the space equivalent to two pixels in the progressive scan mode. This allows the VCCD to hold twice as many electrons as in progressive scan mode. Now the maximum useful signal is limited by the charge capacity of two photodiodes at 80,000 electrons. If only one field is read out of the image sensor the apparent vertical resolution will be 1,024 rows instead of the 2,048 rows in progressive scan (equivalent to binning).

Non-Summed Interlaced Scan Operation maximum usable signal is still only 40,000 electrons. The large extra capacity of the VCCD causes the anti-blooming protection to be increased dramatically compared to the progressive scan. The vertical MTF is the same between the non-summed interlaced scan and progressive scan. There will be motion related artifacts in the images read out in the interlaced modes because the two fields are acquired at different times. In the non-summed interlaced scan mode only half the photodiode are read out in each field. In the even field rows 0, 2, 4, … are transferred to the VCCD. In the odd field rows 1, 3, 5, … are transferred to the VCCD. When the charge packet is transferred from a photodiode is occupies the equivalent of two rows in progressive scan mode. This allows the VCCD to hold twice as much charge a progressive scan mode.

Both the DC bias and AC clock are referenced to ground. VSHUTTER SUB GND GND Figure 45. DC Bias and AC Clock Applied to the SUB Pin Electronic Shutter Description The voltage on the substrate (SUB) determines the charge capacity of the photodiodes. When SUB is 8 V the photodiodes will be at their maximum charge capacity. Increasing VSUB above 8 V decreases the charge capacity of the photodiodes until 48 V when the photodiodes have a charge capacity of zero electrons. Therefore, a short pulse on SUB, with a peak amplitude greater than 48 V, empties all photodiodes and provides the electronic shuttering action. It may appear the optimal substrate voltage setting is 8 V to obtain the maximum charge capacity and dynamic range. While setting VSUB to 8 V will provide the maximum dynamic range, it will also provide the minimum anti-blooming protection. The KAI−04022 VCCD has a charge capacity of 60,000 electrons (60 ke−). If the SUB voltage is set such that the photodiode holds more than 60 ke−, then when the charge is transferred from a full photodiode to VCCD, the VCCD will overflow. This overflow condition manifests itself in the image by making bright spots appear elongated in the vertical direction. The size increase of a bright spot is called blooming when the spot doubles in size. The blooming can be eliminated by increasing the voltage on SUB to lower the charge capacity of the photodiode. This ensures the VCCD charge capacity is greater than the photodiode capacity. There are cases where an extremely bright spot will still cause blooming in the VCCD. Normally, when the photodiode is full, any additional electrons generated by photons will spill out of the photodiode. The excess electrons are drained harmlessly out to the substrate. There is a maximum rate at which the electrons can be drained to the substrate. If that maximum rate is exceeded, (for example, by a very bright light source) then it is possible for the total amount of charge in the photodiode to exceed the VCCD capacity. This results in blooming. The amount of anti-blooming protection also decreases when the integration time is decreased. There is a compromise between photodiode dynamic range (controlled by VSUB) and the amount of anti-blooming protection. A low VSUB voltage provides the maximum dynamic range and minimum (or no) anti-blooming protection. A high VSUB voltage provides lower dynamic range and maximum anti-blooming protection. The optimal setting of VSUB is written on the container in which each KAI−04022 is shipped. The given VSUB voltage for each sensor is selected to provide anti-blooming protection for bright spots at least 100 times saturation, while maintaining at least 40 ke− of dynamic range. The electronic shutter provides a method of precisely controlling the image exposure time without any mechanical components. If an integration time of tINT is desired, then the substrate voltage of the sensor is pulsed to at least 40 V tINT seconds before the photodiode to VCCD transfer pulse on V2. Use of the electronic shutter does not have to wait until the previously acquired image has been completely read out of the VCCD. www.onsemi.com 37 KAI−04022 Large Signal Output The charge handling capacity of the output amplifier is also set by the reset clock voltage levels. The reset clock driver circuit is very simple if an amplitude of 5 V is used. But the 5 V amplitude restricts the output amplifier charge capacity to 20,000 electrons. If the full dynamic range of 40,000 electrons is desired then the reset clock amplitude will have to be increased to 7 V. If you only want a maximum signal of 20,000 electrons in binned or summed interlaced modes, then a 40 MHz pixel rate with a 5 V reset clock may be used. The output of the amplifier will be unpredictable above 20,000 electrons so be sure to set the maximum input signal level of your analog to digital converter to the equivalent of 20,000 electrons (640 mV). When the image sensor is operated in the binned or summed interlaced modes there will be more than 20,000 electrons in the output signal. The image sensor is designed with a 31 mV/e charge to voltage conversion on the output. This means a full signal of 20,000 electrons will produce a 640 mV change on the output amplifier. The output amplifier was designed to handle an output swing of 640 mV at a pixel rate of 40 MHz. If 40,000 electron charge packets are generated in the binned or summed interlaced modes then the output amplifier output will have to swing 1,280 mV. The output amplifier does not have enough bandwidth (slew rate) to handle 1,280 mV at 40 MHz. Hence, the pixel rate will have to be reduced to 20 MHz if the full dynamic range of 40,000 electrons is desired. www.onsemi.com 38 KAI−04022 REFERENCES For information on ESD and cover glass care and cleanliness, please download the Image Sensor Handling and Best Practices Application Note (AN52561/D) from www.onsemi.com.
