IMAGE SENSOR
CCD area image sensor
S9972/S9973 series
Front-illuminated FFT-CCD, high near IR sensitivity
The S9972/S9973 series are families of FFT-CCD image sensors specifically designed for low-light-level detection in scientific applications. By
using the binning operation, the S9972/S9973 series can be used as a linear image sensor having a long aperture in the direction of the device
length. This makes the S9972/S9973 series ideally suited for use in spectrophotometry. The binning operation offers significant improvement in
S/N and signal processing speed compared with conventional methods by which signals are digitally added by an external circuit. The
S9972/S9973 series also feature low noise and low dark signal (MPP mode operation). This enables low-light-level detection and long integration
time, thus achieving a wide dynamic range.
The S9972/S9973 series have an effective pixel size of 24 × 24 µm and are available in image areas of 24.576 (H) × 2.976 (V) mm² (1024 × 124
pixels) and 24.576 (H) × 6.048 (V) mm² (1024 × 252 pixels). The S9972/S9973 series are pin compatible with the S9970/S9971 series. (Operating
conditions and characteristics are a little bit different from the S9970/S9971 series.)
