CCD area image sensor
S9972/S9973 series
Front-illuminated FFT-CCD, high IR sensitivity
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, S9972/S9973 series can be used as a linear image sensor having a long aperture in the direction of the device length. This
makes 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. 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.
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). S9972/S9973 series are pin compatible with S9970/S9971 series. (Operating
conditions and characteristics are a little bit different from S9970/S9971 series.)
