Abstract
A 52-M pixel, 71mm x 54mm, full-frame CCD imager with 8.6 um x 8.6 um pixel size has been developed for use in high speed scanning applications. On-going interest for ultra-high resolution, high speed imagers for electronic imaging OEM customers in various scientific markets including spectroscopy and digital photography has led to the development of the STA2500A. Innovative design techniques were utilized in the production of this device. 32 outputs running at 40 Mhz yield a 20Hz frame rate with low RMS noise and high MTF. This paper will provide detailed information on design trades developed for high-speed imagers leading to the design and performance capabilities of the STA2500A, as well as a description of the electronics required for its use.
