description
The TC253SPD device is a frame-transfer, CCD image sensor designed for use in black and white NTSC TV,
computer, and special-purpose applications that require high sensitivity, low noise, and small size.
The TC253SPD sensor is a new device of the IMPACTRONt family of very low noise, high sensitivity image
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. The amount of multiplication is adjustable, depending on the amplitude of the
multiplication pulses. The device function resembles the function of image intensifiers implemented in solid
state.
This MOS device contains limited built-in gate protection. During storage or handling, the device leads should be shorted together
or the device should be placed in conductive foam. In a circuit, unused inputs should always be connected to V . Under no
SS
circumstances should pin voltages exceed absolute maximum ratings. Avoid shorting OUT to V
during operation to prevent
SS
damage to the amplifier. The device can also be damaged if the output terminals are reverse-biased and an excessive current is
allowed to flow. Specific guidelines for handling devices of this type are contained in the publication Guidelines for Handling
Electrostatic-Discharge-Sensitive (ESDS) Devices and Assemblies available from Texas Instruments.
