KAF-1001
1024 (H) x 1024 (V) Full
Frame CCD Image Sensor
Description
T h e K A F −1 0 0 1 I m a g e S e n s o r i s a h i g h - p e r f o r m a n c e
charge-coupled device (CCD) designed for a wide range of image
sensing applications.
The sensor incorporates true two-phase CCD technology,
simplifying the support circuits required to drive the sensor as well as
reducing dark current without compromising charge capacity.
The sensor also utilizes the TRUESENSE Transparent Gate Electrode
to improve sensitivity compared to the use of a standard front side
illuminated polysilicon electrode.
Selectable on-chip output amplifiers allow operation to be
optimized for different imaging needs: Low Noise (when using the
high-sensitivity output) or Maximum Dynamic Range (when using the
low-sensitivity output).

NOTE: Shaded areas represent 4 non-imaging pixels at the beginning and 8 non-imaging pixels at the end of each line. There are also
4 non-imaging lines at the top and bottom of each frame.
Figure 2. Block Diagram
Refer to the block diagram in Figure 2. The KAF−1001
consists of one vertical (parallel) CCD shift register, one
horizontal (serial) CCD shift register and a selectable high
or low gain output amplifier. Both registers incorporate true
two-phase buried channel technology. The vertical register
consists of 24
mm
×
24
mm
photo-capacitor sensing elements
(pixels) which also serves as the transport mechanism.
The pixels are arranged in a 1024 (H)
×
1024 (V) array;
an additional 12 columns (4 at the left and 8 at the right) and
8 rows (4 each at top and bottom) of non-imaging pixels are
added as dark reference. Because there is no storage array,
this device must be synchronized with strobe illumination or
shuttered during readout.
Output Structure
The final gate of the horizontal register is split into two
sections,
fH21
and
fH22.
The split gate structure allows the
user to select either of the two output amplifiers. To use the
high dynamic range single-stage output (V
OUT1
), tie
fH22
to a negative voltage to block charge transfer, and tie
fH21
to
fH2
to transfer charge. To use the high sensitivity
two-stage output (V
OUT2
), tie
fH21
to a negative voltage
and
fH22
to
fH2.
The charge packets are then dumped onto
the appropriate floating diffusion output node whose
potential varies linearly with the quantity of charge in each
packet. The amount of potential change is determined by the
simple expression
DV
fd
=
DQ/C
fd
. The translation from
electrons to voltages is called the output sensitivity or
charge-to-voltage conversion. After the output has been
sensed off-chip, the reset clock (fR) removes the charge
from the floating diffusion via the reset drain (VRD). This,
in turn, returns the floating diffusion potential to the
reference level determined by the reset drain voltage.

Image Acquisition
An image is acquired when incident light, in the form of
photons, falls on the array of pixels in the vertical CCD
register and creates electron-hole pairs (or simply electrons)
within the silicon substrate. This charge is collected locally
by the formation of potential wells created at each pixel site
by induced voltages on the vertical register clock lines
(fV1,
fV2).
These same clock lines are used to implement
the transport mechanism as well. The amount of charge
collected at each pixel is linearly dependent on light level
and exposure time and non-linearly dependent on
wavelength until the potential well capacity is exceeded. At
this point charge will ‘bloom’ into vertically adjacent pixels.
Charge Transport
Integrated charge is transported to the output in a two-step
process. Rows of charge are first shifted line by line into the
horizontal CCD. ‘Lines’ of charge are then shifted to the
output pixel by pixel. Referring to the timing diagram,
integration of charge is performed with
fV1
and
fV2
held
low. Transfer to horizontal CCD begins when
fV1
is
brought high causing charge from the
fV1
and
fV2
gates
to combine under the
fV1
gate.
fV1
and
fV2
now reverse their polarity causing the
charge packets to ‘spill’ forward under the
fV2
gate of the
next pixel. The rising edge of
fV2
also transfers the first line
of charge into the horizontal CCD. A second phase transition
places the charge packets under the
fV1
electrode of the
next pixel. The sequence completes when
fV1
is brought
low. Clocking of the vertical register in this way is known as
accumulation mode clocking. Next, the horizontal CCD
reads out the first line of charge using traditional
complementary clocking (using
fH1
and
fH2
pins) as
shown. The falling edge of
fH2
forces a charge packet over
the output gate (OG) onto one of the output nodes (floating
diffusion) which controls the output amplifier. The cycle
repeats until all lines are read.
