description
The TC215 is a full-frame charge-coupled-device (CCD) image sensor that provides very high-resolution image
acquisition for image-processing applications such as robotic vision, medical X-ray analysis, and metrology. The
image format measures 12 mm horizontally by 12.216 mm vertically; the image-area diagonal is 17.2 mm. The
image-area pixels are 12-µm square. The image area contains 1018 active lines with 1000 active pixels per line.
Six additional dark reference lines give a total of 1024 lines in the image area, and 24 additional dark reference
pixels per line give a total of 1024 pixels per horizontal line.
The full-frame image sensor should be used with a shutter or with strobed illumination to prevent smearing of
the image during readout. To prepare the imaging area for image capture, the photoelectric charge that has
accumulated in the image pixels can be transferred into the clearing drain in one millisecond. After image
capture (integration time), the readout is accomplished by transferring the charge, one line at a time, into two
serial registers, each of which contains 512 data elements and 12 dummy elements. The typical serial-register
clocking rate is 10 megapixels per second. Operating the TC215 at the typical data rate of one field per frame
generates video output at a continuous 15 frames per second.
Gated floating-diffusion detection structures are used with each serial register to convert charge to signal
voltage. External reset allows the application of off-chip correlated clamp sample-and-hold amplifiers for
low-noise performance. To provide high output-drive capability, both outputs are buffered by low-noise,
two-stage, source-follower amplifiers. These two output signals can provide a data rate of 20 megapixels per
second when combined off chip. At room temperature, the readout noise is 55 electrons and a minimum dynamic
range of 60 dB is available.
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.

SOCS014B – AUGUST 1989 – REVISED DECEMBER 1991
description (continued)
The blooming protection incorporated into the sensor is based on recombining excess charge with charge of
oppositie 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 TC215 is built using TI-proprietary virtual-phase technology, which provides devices with high blue
response, low dark signal, good uniformity, and single-phase clocking. The TC215 is characterized for operation
from –10°C to 40°C.

TC215
1024- × 1024-PIXEL CCD IMAGE SENSOR
SOCS014B – AUGUST 1989 – REVISED DECEMBER 1991
detailed description
The TC215 consists of three basic functional blocks: (1) the image-sensing area, (2) the multiplexer block with
serial registers and transfer gates, and (3) the low-noise signal-processing amplifier block with charge-detection
nodes. The location of each of these blocks is identified in the functional block diagram.
image-sensing area
Figures 1 and 2 show cross sections with potential well diagrams and top views of image-sensing elements. 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 in the dark to the two serial registers, where it is read out line by line.
There are 24 full columns of elements at the left 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 six dark lines at the bottom of the sensor.
multiplexer with transfer gates and serial registers
The multiplexer and transfer gates transfer charge line by line from the image-sensing 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. 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 is also included to provide the capability to clear the image-sensing area
of unwanted charge. Such charge can accumulate in the imager during the start-up of operation or under special
circumstances. The clearing timing is illustrated in Figure 6.
serial-register readout and video processing
After transfer into the serial registers, the pixels are normally read out 180° out of phase (see Figure 7). Each
serial register must be reset to the reference level before the next pixel is read out. The timing for the resets and
their relationships to the serial-register pulses is shown in Figure 8. Figure 8 also shows the timing for the pixel
clamp and sample and hold needed for an off-chip double-correlated sampling circuit. These two output signals
can provide a data rate of 20 million pixels per second when combined off chip. After the charge is placed on
the detection node, it is buffered and amplified by a low-noise, dual-stage source follower. Each serial register
contains 12 dummy elements that are used to span the distance between the serial register and the output
amplifier. A schematic is shown in Figure 9. The location of the dummy elements, which are considered to be
part of the amplifiers, is shown in the functional block diagram. Figure 10 gives the timing for a single frame of
video. Operating the TC215 at the typical data rate of one field per frame generates video output at a continuous
15 frames per second.

spurious nonuniformity specification
The spurious nonuniformity specification of the TC215 CCD grades – 30 and – 40 is based on several sensor
characteristics:
•
•
•
Amplitude of the nonuniform line or pixel
Polarity of the nonuniform pixel
– Black
– White
Nonuniform line or pixel count
The CCD sensors are characterized in both an illuminated condition and a dark condition. In the dark condition,
the nonuniformity is specified in terms of absolute amplitude as shown in Figure 11. In the illuminated condition,
the nonuniformity is specified as a percentage of the total illumination as shown in Figure 12.
The pixel nonuniformity specification for the TC215 is as follows (CCD video-output signal is 50 mV ±10 mV):

NOTES: A. Vuse (typ) is defined as the voltage determined to equal the camera white clip. This voltage must be less than Vuse (max).
B. A system trade-off is necessary to determine the system light sensitivity versus the signal/noise ratio. By lowering the Vuse (typ),
the light sensitivity of the camera is increased; however, this sacrifices the signal/noise ratio of the camera.
