Overview
The CCD201-20 is a frame transfer, electron multiplying CCD sensor designed for extreme performance in high frame rate, ultra-low light applications. The Teledyne e2v back-thinning process ensures high quantum efficiency over a wide range of wavelengths.
An electron multiplying CCD functions by having an extended readout register with variable gain from 1x to 1000x prior to voltage conversion in the output amplifier. This allows readout noise to be effectively eliminated while maintaining fast readout rates.
The device can also be read out without using the gain register via the High Responsivity Output amplifier (OSH) for high dynamic range.
