The TC253SPD sensor is a new device of the IMPACTRONt family of very low noise, high sensitivity image sensors that multiply charge directly in the charge domain before conversion to voltage. The charge carrier multiplication (CCM) is achieved by using a low-noise, single-carrier, impact ionization process that occurs during repeated carrier transfers through high field regions. Applying multiplication pulses to specially designed gates activates the CCM. The amount of multiplication is adjustable, depending on the amplitude of the multiplication pulses. The device function resembles the function of image intensifiers implemented in solid state. This MOS device contains limited built-in gate protection. During storage or handling, the device leads should be shorted together or the device should be placed in conductive foam. In a circuit, unused inputs should always be connected to VSS. Under no circumstances should pin voltages exceed absolute maximum ratings. Avoid shorting OUT to VSS during operation to prevent damage to the amplifier. The device can also be damaged if the output terminals are reverse-biased and an excessive current is allowed to flow. Specific guidelines for handling devices of this type are contained in the publication Guidelines for Handling Electrostatic-Discharge-Sensitive (ESDS) Devices and Assemblies available from Texas Instruments.

Twenty-two pixels are reserved in each line for dark reference. The blooming protection is based on an advanced lateral overflow drain concept that does not reduce NIR response. The sensor can be operated in the interlaced or progressive scan modes and can capture full 340,000 pixels in one image field. The frame transfer from the image-sensing area to the memory area is accomplished at a very high rate that minimizes image smear. The electronic exposure control is achieved by clearing unwanted charge from the image area using a short positive pulse applied to the antiblooming drain. This pulse marks the beginning of the integration time, which can be arbitrarily shortened from its nominal length. After charge is integrated and stored in the memory it is available for readout in the next cycle. This is accomplished using a unique serial register design that includes special charge multiplication pixels. ADVANCE INFORMATION The TC253SPD sensor is built using TI-proprietary advanced split-gate virtual-phase CCD (SGVPCCD) technology, which provides devices with wide spectral response, ranging from DUV to NIR, high quantum efficiency (QE), low dark current, and high response uniformity. The TC253SPD sensor is characterized over an operating free-air temperature range of TA= –10°C to 45°C. 2 POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 × SOCS062B – JANUARY 2001 – REVISED MAY 2002 functional block diagram 1 ODB Dark Reference Pixels Image Sensing Area with Blooming Protection 3 12 IAG1 11 Image Storage Area SAG2 ADVANCE INFORMATION 2 IAG2 4 SAG1 10 SRG1 SUB Serial Readout Register 9 ADB 5 Clearing Drain SRG2 7 Charge Multiplier VO 6 CMG Output Amplifier POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 3 × SOCS062B – JANUARY 2001 – REVISED MAY 2002 sensor topology diagram 24 Dark Reference Pixels 656 Active Pixels Dark Reference Pixels ADVANCE INFORMATION 496 Active Lines Image Sensing Area with Blooming Protection 4 Dark Isolation Lines Image Storage Area 500 Lines Optical Black Pixels (OPB) 24 656 Active Pixels 98 400 Multiplication Pixels Dummy Pixels 4 POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 188 × SOCS062B – JANUARY 2001 – REVISED MAY 2002 Terminal Functions TERMINAL ADB NO.

The location of each of these blocks is identified in the functional block diagram. image-sensing and storage areas Figure 1 and Figure 2 show cross sections with potential-well diagrams and top views of the pixels in the image-sensing and storage areas. As light enters silicon in the image-sensing area, electrons are generated and collected in potential wells of the pixels. Applying a suitable dc bias to the antiblooming drain provides blooming protection. Electrons that exceed a specified level, determined by the ODB bias, are drained away from the pixels. If it is necessary to remove all previously accumulated charge from the wells, a short positive pulse must be applied to the drain. This marks the beginning of the new integration period. After the integration cycle is completed, charge is quickly transferred into the memory where it waits for readout. The lines can be read out from the memory in a sequential order to implement progressive scan, or two lines can be summed together to implement the pseudo-interlace scan. Twenty-two columns at the left edge of the image-sensing area are shielded from incident light. These pixels provide the dark reference used in subsequent video-processing circuits to restore the video black level. An additional four dark lines located between the image-sensing area and the image storage area were added for isolation.

Varying the dc bias of the antiblooming drain can control the blooming protection level and trade it for well capacity. Applying a pulse (approximately 10 V above the nominal level for a minimum of 1 µs) to the drain removes all charge from the pixels. This feature permits a precise control of the integration time on a frame-by-frame basis. The single-pulse clearing capability also reduces smear by eliminating accumulated charge in the pixels before the start of the integration period (single-sided smear). The application of a negative 1-V pulse to the antiblooming drain during the parallel transfer is recommended. This pulse prevents creation of undesirable artifacts caused by the on-chip crosstalk between the image area gate clock lines and the antiblooming drain bias lines. ADVANCE INFORMATION serial register and charge multiplier The serial register is used to transport charge stored in the pixels of the memory to the output amplifier. However, the TC253SPD device has a serial register with twice the standard length. The first half has a conventional design that interfaces with the memory and the clearing drain as it would in any other CCD sensor (for example the TC237 sensor). The second half, however, is unique and includes 400 charge multiplication stages with a number of dummy pixels that are needed to transport charge between the active register blocks and the output amplifier. Charge is multiplied as it progresses from stage to stage in the multiplier toward the charge detection node. The charge multiplication level depends on the amplitude of multiplication pulses (approximately 11 V ~ 17 V) applied to the multiplication gates. Due to the double length of the registers, the first line in the field or frame scan does not contain valid data and must be discarded. readout and video processing The last element of the charge readout and detection chain is the charge detection node. Charge detection nodes use standard floating diffusion (FD) concepts followed by dual-stage source followers as buffer amplifiers. The reset gate is internally connected to SRG1. This connection results in a simultaneous FD reset when the SRG1 gate is clocked high. To achieve the ultimate sensor performance, it is necessary to eliminate the detection node kTC noise using CDS processing techniques. The IMPACTRONt devices can detect single photons when cooling or when sufficiently short integration times are used. 8 POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 × SOCS062B – JANUARY 2001 – REVISED MAY 2002 absolute maximum ratings over operating free-air temperature (unless otherwise noted)† Supply voltage range, VSS: ADB (see Note 1) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Blooming is the condition in which charge induced by light in one element spills over to the neighboring elements. 12. Smear is the measure of error signal introduced into the pixels by transferring them through the illuminated region into the memory. The illuminated region is 1/10 of the image area height. The value in the table is obtained for the integration time of 16.66 ms and 3.125 MHz vertical clock transfer frequency. 13. Dark current depends on temperature and approximately doubles every 8°C. Dark current is also multiplied by the CCM operation. The value given in the table is with the multiplier turned off, and it is a calculated value. 14. Dark signal is actual device output measured in darkness. 15. Dark signal uniformity is the sigma of difference of two neighboring pixels taken from all the image area pixels. 16. Dark signal shading is the difference between maximum and minimum of a 5-pixel median taken anywhere in the array. 17. Column uniformity is obtained by summing all the lines in the array, finding the maximum of the difference of two neighboring columns anywhere in the array, and dividing the result by the number of lines.
