Sensor Description
The STAR1000 is a CMOS image sensor with 1024 by 1024
pixels on a 15 mm pitch. It features on-chip Fixed Pattern Noise
(FPN) correction, a programmable gain amplifier, and a 10-bit
Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC).
All circuits are designed using the radiation tolerant design rules
for CMOS image sensors, to allow a high tolerance against total
dose effects.
Registers that are directly accessed by the external controller
contain the X- and Y- addresses of the pixels to be read. This
architecture provides flexible operation and allows different
operation modes such as (multiple) windowing, subsampling,
etc.
Three versions of sensors are available: STAR1000,
STAR1000BK7, and STAR1000SP. The STAR1000 has a quartz
glass lid, and the cavity between the die and the glass lid is filled
with air. The STAR1000BK7 has a BK7G18 glass lid, and the
cavity is filled with N2 which increases the temperature operating
range. The STAR1000SP is similar to the STAR1000BK7, it has
a BK7G18 glass lid, and a N2 filled cavity, but is also screened
and tested to space qualified device standards.
