7.0 I/O Pins
Besides the VSS and VDD supply pins, there are nine functionally active I/O pins. Only two clocks, CLK and START, are required for
controlling the timing of the sensor's video readout. One additional digital input, ADDCAP controls the bank of capacitors as described
in the Section 6.0. The digital output, EOS, marks the end of the line-scan. The charge output pin, QOUT, is typically connected to a
charge-integrating amplifier, which is biased to Vbias (see Section 8.0). For normal anti-blooming operation, the ABG requires a 0.1µF
capacitor connected to VSS and the ABD is also biased to Vbias. Each temperature diode is operated with a small constant current,
which forward biases its PN junction. By measuring the forward-bias voltage, one can track the silicon die temperature. The
temperature diodes may be disabled by connecting their anodes to VSS. These I/Os are listed with their acronym designators and
functional descriptions in Table 1.
