Description
Summary:This paper characterizes the performance of four sensors from the bouwblok family. The original design meets the key original design goals, including the maximum packet size Q sub(max), readout speed, antiblooming protection, and optical performance. Three-level vertical clocks are used to reach more than 12-bits linear dynamic range at 60 degree C, and the binning capacity is limited at the floating diffusion and in the horizontal register. The dark current is low for a modern non-MPP (multiphase pinned) technology (0.3 nA /cm super(2)). The performance of the design is consistent (for identical clocking conditions at the pixel) across all members of the family.
