InGaAs linear image sensors
G11620 series
(cooled type)
Single video line (256/512 pixels)
near infrared image sensor (0.95 to 1.67 μm)
The G11620 series is an InGaAs linear image sensor designed for near infrared multichannel spectrophotometry. The CMOS
chip consists of charge amplifiers, a shift register, and a timing generator. Previous products had two CMOS chips, but a single
chip configuration was achieved on this product through the use of bump connection. This structure has reduced the video
output difference between odd pixels and even pixels. Charge amplifiers are configured with CMOS transistor array and are
connected to each pixel of the InGaAs photodiode array. Since the signal from each pixel is read in charge integration mode,
high sensitivity and stable operation are attained in a wide spectral response range. The package is hermetically sealed providing excellent reliability.
The signal processing circuit on the CMOS chip enables the selection of an optimum conversion efficiency (CE) for your application
from the available two types using external voltage.
Features
Applications

Built-in CDS circuit*1
Built-in thermistor
Easy operation (built-in timing generator*2)
High resolution: 25 μm pitch (G11620-512SA)
*1: A major source of noise in charge amplifiers is the reset noise generated when the integration capacitance is reset. However, the
CDS circuit, which takes the difference between the signal after the completion of the integration time and the signal immediately
after resetting, greatly reduces the reset noise.
*2: Different signal timings must be properly set in order to operate a shift register. In conventional image sensor operation, external
PLDs (programmable logic device) are used to input the required timing signals. However, the image sensors internally generate all
timing signals on the CMOS chip just by supplying CLK and RESET pulses. This makes it simple to set the timings.

may occur on the product surface. Dew condensation on the product may cause deterioration in characteristics and reliability.
Note: Exceeding the absolute maximum ratings even momentarily may cause a drop in product quality. Always be sure to use the product within the absolute maximum ratings.
