HAMAMATSU S9978

IMAGE SENSOR
CCD area image sensor
S9978
Front-illuminated FFT-CCDs, high IR sensitivity
S9978 is FFT-CCD area image sensor specifically designed for low-light-level detection in scientific applications. S9978 also features low noise
and low dark current (MPP mode operation). These enable low-light-level detection and long integration time, thus achieving a wide dynamic
range.
S9978 is pin compatible with S9736-01. (Operating conditions and characteristics are a little bit changed from S9736-01.)

■ Precaution for use (electrostatic countermeasures)
● Handle these sensors with bare hands or wearing cotton gloves. In addition, wear anti-static clothing or use a wrist strap, in
order to prevent electrostatic damage due to electrical charges from friction.
● Avoid directly placing these sensors on a work-desk or work-bench that may carry an electrostatic charge.
● Provide ground lines or ground connection with the work-floor, work-desk and work-bench to allow static electricity to discharge.
● Ground the tools used to handle these sensors, such as tweezers and soldering irons.
It is not always necessary to provide all the electrostatic measures stated above. Implement these measures according to the
amount of damage that occurs.
■ Element cooling/heating temperature incline rate
When cooling the CCD by an externally attached cooler, set the cooler operation so that the temperature gradient (rate of
temperature change) for cooling or allowing the CCD to warm back is less than 5 K/minute.
