The device is intended to replace the 1/2-inch vidicon tube in applications requiring small size, high reliability, and low cost. The image-sensing area of the TC244 is configured into 242 lines with 786 elements in each line. Twenty-nine elements are provided in each line for dark reference. The blooming protection incorporated into the sensor is based on recombining excess charge with charge of opposite polarity in the substrate. This antiblooming is activated by supplying clocking pulses to the antiblooming gate, which is an integral part of each image-sensing element. The sensor is designed to operate in an interlace mode, electronically displacing the image-sensing elements by one-half of a vertical line during the charge integration period in alternate fields, effectively increasing the vertical resolution and minimizing aliasing. The single-chip color-sensing capability of the TC244 is achieved by laminating a striped color filter with RGB organization on top of the image-sensing area. The stripes are precisely aligned to the sensing elements, and the signal charge columns are multiplexed during the readout into three separate registers with three separate outputs corresponding to each individual color. 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 SUB. Under no circumstances should pin voltages exceed absolute maximum ratings. Avoid shorting OUTn to ADB 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.

As light enters the silicon in the image-sensing area, free electrons are generated and collected in the potential wells of the sensing elements. During this time, blooming protection is activated by applying a burst of pulses to the antiblooming gate inputs every horizontal blanking interval. This prevents blooming caused by the spilling of charge from overexposed elements into neighboring elements. After integration is complete, the signal charge is transferred into the storage area. There are 29 full columns and one half-column of elements at the right edge of the image-sensing area that are shielded from incident light; these elements provide the dark reference used in subsequent video processing circuits to restore the video black level. There are also one full column and one half-column of light-shielded elements at the left edge of the image-sensing area and two lines of light-shielded elements between the image-sensing and image-storage areas (the latter prevent charge leakage from the image-sensing area into the image-storage area). multiplexer with transfer gates and serial registers The color sensitivity of the TC244 is obtained by laminating a color stripe filter on top of the image-sensing area and aligning it precisely with vertical columns of sensing elements. This separates columns into three groups corresponding to the RGB colors used in the filter. The function of the multiplexer and transfer gates is to transfer the charge line by line from the columns into the corresponding serial registers and prepare it for readout. Figure 3 illustrates the layout of the multiplexing gate that vertically separates the pixels for input into the serial registers. Figure 4 shows the layout of the interface region between the serial-register gates and the transfer gates. The multiplexing is activated during the horizontal blanking interval by applying appropriate pulses to the transfer gates and serial registers. The required pulse timing is shown in Figure 5. A drain has also been included in this area to provide the capability to quickly clear the image-sensing and storage areas of unwanted charge. Such charge can accumulate in the imager during the start-up of operation or under special circumstances when nonstandard TV operation is desired. correlated clamp-sample-and-hold amplifier with charge-detection nodes Figure 6 illustrates the correlated clamp-sample-and-hold amplifier circuit. Charge is converted into a video signal by transferring the charge onto a floating diffusion structure in detection node1 that is connected to the gate of MOS transistor Q1. The proportional charge-induced signal is then processed by the circuit shown in Figure 6. This circuit consists of a low-pass filter formed by Q1 and C2, coupling capacitor C1, dummy detection node 2, which restores the dc bias on the gate of Q3, sampling transistor Q5, holding capacitor C3, and output buffer Q6. Transistors Q2, Q4, and Q7 are current sources for each corresponding stage of the amplifier. The parameters of this high-performance signal-processing amplifier have been optimized to minimize noise and maximize the video signal. The signal processing begins with a reset of detection node 1 and restoration of the dc bias on the gate of Q3 through the clamping function of dummy detection node 2. After the clamping is completed, the new charge packet is transferred onto detection node 1. The resulting signal is sampled by the sampling transistor Q5 and is stored on the holding capacitor C3. This process is repeated periodically and is correlated to the charge transfer in the registers. The correlation is achieved automatically since the same clock lines used in registers φ-S2 and φ-S3 for charge transport serve for reset and sample. The multiple use of the clock lines significantly reduces the number of signals required to operate the sensor. The amplifier also contains an internal voltage reference generator that provides the reference bias for the reset and clamp transistors. The detection nodes and the corresponding amplifiers are located some distance away from the edge of the storage area. Therefore, eleven dummy elements are incorporated at the end of each serial register to span the distance. The location of the dummy elements, which are considered to be part of the amplifiers, is shown in the functional block diagram. 2-4 POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 TC244 786- × 488-PIXEL CCD IMAGE SENSOR SOCS016B – NOVEMBER 1989 – REVISED DECEMBER 1991 8.5 µm(H) Light Clocked Barrier φ-IAG 19.75 µm(V) Virtual Barrier φ-ABG Antiblooming Clocking Levels Antiblooming Gate Virtual Well Clocked Well Accumulated Charge Figure 1.

The following standard imaging condition is used in the test: light box SA702 (made by Canon) is used with a lens (FL = 92 mm) stopped to f14.3. The light power is 1.5 µW/cm2 (color temperature = 3000 K). No IR filter is used. 11. The following measurement method is used: the device blooming protection is disabled by lowering the ABG-clock-pulse amplitude to the minimum value. The red output signal level (Sr), the blue output signal level (Sb), and the green output signal level (Sg) are recorded. The relative sensitivity for the blue output signal (Rb) and the relative sensitivity for the green output signal (Rg) are determined as follows: Rb = Sb/Sr and Rg = Sg/Sr 12. Saturation is the condition in which further increase in exposure does not lead to further increase in output signal. 13. Blooming overload ratio is the ratio of blooming exposure to saturation exposure. 14. Smear is a measure of the error induced by transferring charge through an illuminated pixel in shutterless operation. It is equivalent to the ratio of the single-pixel transfer time during a fast dump to the exposure time using an illuminated section that is 1/10 of the image-area vertical height with recommended clock frequencies. 15. Exposure time is 16.67 ms, the fast dump-clocking rate during vertical timing is 3.58 MHz, and the illuminated section is 1/10 of the height of the image section. 16. Dark-signal level is measured from the dummy pixels. 2-12 POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265 TC244 786- × 488-PIXEL CCD IMAGE SENSOR SOCS016B – NOVEMBER 1989 – REVISED DECEMBER 1991 PARAMETER MEASUREMENT INFORMATION Blooming Point With Antiblooming Enabled VO Blooming Point With Antiblooming Disabled Dependent On Well Capacity Vsat (min) Level Dependent Upon Antiblooming Gate High Level Vuse (max) Vuse (typ) DR Vn Lux (light input) DR (dynamic range) + camera whiteV clip voltage n Vn = noise floor voltage Vsat (min) = minimum saturation voltage Vuse (max) = maximum usable voltage Vuse (typ) = typical user voltage (camera white clip) NOTES: A.
