GSENSE1517BSI
16.8 MP 15 μm SCIENTIFIC CMOS IMAGE SENSOR
GSENSE1517BSI is a 4116 x 4100 (16.8 MP) resolution scientific image sensor with high-performance 15 μm x 15 μm pixels, a large 61.74 mm x 61.50 mm imaging area, peak QE of 92% and minimum read noise 1.2 e‾. The sensor utilizes 12 bit dual-gain HDR, and both 12 bit and 14 bit single gain and 16 bit single gain ADCs to achieve a variety of imaging modes. Both 12 bit HDR and 14 bit STD are supported at up to 4 fps utilizing 10 pairs of LVDS working at 420 Mbps each. For 16 bit STD mode, only 3 pairs of LVDS is utilized. In 12 bit dual-gain HDR mode, an intra-scene dynamic range over 95.3 dB is achieved with 70 ke‾ full well capacity and 1.2 e‾ readout noise. In 14 bit STD mode, either the LG or HG signal can be utilized. Using the HG signal, read noise is 1.5 e‾ and a dynamic range of 79.6 dB is achieved. Using the LG signal, the maximum full well capacity of 70 ke‾. In 16 bit STD mode, with the maximum full well capacity of 70 ke‾ and the readout noise of 5.8 e‾, it can achieve a dynamic range of 81.5 dB. GSENSE1517BSI is assembled in a high-end SiC package designed such that the dead space at 3x package sides is minimized for mosaic tiling. The thermal expansion of SiC is close to that of the silicon die, providing mechanical stability over the sensor’s full operating range. The sensor’s 144 pins Al₂O₃ IPGA ceramic package is offered with removable cover glass for easy assembly into cooled camera systems.
