IMAGE SENSOR Flat panel sensor C9730DK-10 Large area soft X-ray imaging, high resolution Flat panel sensor C9730DK-10 is two-dimensional CMOS image sensor module designed for X-ray imaging which requires high resolution, large area and wide dynamic range. A target material of X-ray source and X-ray energy adequate for the sensor is Mo and 17 keV. The device shape is thin cassette which incorporate on-chip high-resolution scintillator and a control board. An on-board USB2.0 interface can realize fast data transfer to C9730DK-10. Features Applications l High resolution l X-ray imaging (optimized to 17 keV) l 1056 × 1056 pixels (50 µm pitch) l 14-bit digital output l High-speed imaging: 4 frame/s (single operation) l CsI scintillator directly deposited on photosensitive surface l No dead area (insensitive area) due to seamless structure ■ Block diagram PIXEL NUMBER 1 2 1055 1056 1057 2111 2112 PHOTODIODE ARRAY WITH DIRECTLY DEPOSITED CsI SCINTILLATOR 1115135 AMP ARRAY No. 1 VERTICAL SHIFT REGISTER C9730DK-10 is a lightweight and compact flat panel sensor consisting of a sensor board and a control board. The sensor board also has 8 charge-sensitive amplifier arrays each having 132 channel amplifiers with a horizontal shift register. Analog video signals are amplified as the charge on each video line by 1056 ch charge amplifiers with CDS (Correlated Double Sampling) circuits added, and are output each of 8 amplifier arrays. The control board converts the analog video signal into a 14-bit digital signal and outputs it to an external frame grabber through the USB2.0 interface. 1115136 EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY A.vdd, D.vdd (not attached) TIMING PULSE GENERATOR AMP ARRAY No. 8 OSCILLATOR TrgIn TrgOut BIAS GENERATOR BUFFER AMP PROCESSING AMP A/D FIFO USB IC BUFFER AMP PROCESSING AMP A/D Note: Signals are read out in order of pixel number.

(Avoid using a switching power supply.) A power cable (terminated with a JSTJ-C9-2C plug at one end and open at the other end; 2 m; see Table 1.) and an external trigger cable (terminated with an FGG.0B.304.CLAD56 plug at one end and open at the other end; 5 m; see table 2.) comes supplied with C9730DK-10. C9730DK-10 does not include USB cable. The voltages described above are specified at the flat panel sensor side. The impedance of the power cable attached with the flat panel sensor is low enough but it causes 0.1 V approx. drop. Therefore the voltage at the power source side should be set 0.1 V higher than the voltage specified above. Install a noise filter on the AC power input line to prevent surges on the AC line. DCAM-API (Digital Camera Application Programming Interface) produced by HAMAMATSU supports C9730DK-10. The driver software and DLL are included in DCAM-API. The latest version of the DCAM-API can be downloaded from http:// www.dcamapi.com/. DCAM-SDK which includes function manual and sample software can be provided only for OEM customer. The USB receptacle is mini-B type. The mini-B USB cable is not attached. The earth terminal must be connected to a stable earth point to eliminate noise from surroundings.

(Strong shock such as drop impacts may cause permanent damage to these sensors.) · Users must take responsibility for implementing X-ray shielding safety measures to avoid the risk of X-ray exposure. · Data listed in this datasheet is defined at the time of shipment. Characteristics may vary somewhat due to exposure to X-rays so take proper countermeasures such as making periodic image correction. · This product is warranted for a period of 12 months after the date of the shipment. The warranty is limited to replacement or repair of any defective product due to defects in workmanship or materials used in manufacture. The warranty does not cover loss or damage caused by natural disaster, misuse (including modifications and any use not complying with the environment, application, usage and storage conditions described in this datasheet), or total X-ray radiation dose over 45000 Roentgen [less than 35 kVp (17 keV Mo source)] even within the warranty period.
