Description
The TC246CYM is a frame interline transfer CCD image sensor designed for use in
single-chip color NTSC TV, computer, and special-purpose applications requiring low
noise, high sensitivity, high speed and low smear.
The TC246CYM is a new device of the IMPACTRON^TM family of very-low noise, high
sensitivity, high speed and low smear sensors that multiply charge directly in the charge
domain before conversion to voltage. The charge carrier multiplication (CCM) is
achieved by using a low-noise single-carrier, impact ionization process that occurs during
repeated carrier transfers through high field regions. Applying multiplication pulses to
specially designed gates activates the CCM. Multiplication gain is variable by
adjusting the amplitude of the multiplication pulses. The device function resembles the
function of an image intensifier implemented in solid state.
