P-Series
Linear Photodiode Array Imagers
14µm, single output, 512, 1024, 2048 elements
Description
In the P-series linear imagers,
PerkinElmer has combined the best
features of high-sensitivity photodiode
array detection and high-speed charge-
coupled scanning to offer an uncom-
promising solution to the increasing
demands of advanced imaging
applications.
These high-performance imagers
feature low noise, high sensitivity,
impressive charge storage capacity,
and lag-free dynamic imaging in a
convenient single-output architecture.
The 14 µm square contiguous pixels in
these imagers reproduce images with
minimum information loss and artifact
generation, while their unique photo-
diode structure provides excellent blue
response extending below 250 nm in
the ultraviolet.
The two-phase CCD readout register
requires only five volts for clocking
yet achieves excellent charge transfer
efficiency. Additional electrodes
provide independent control of expo-
sure and antiblooming. Finally, the
high-sensitivity readout amplifier
provides a large output signal to relax
the noise requirements on the camera
electronics that follow.
Available in array lengths of 512, 1024
and 2048 elements with either low-
cost glass or UV-enhanced fused silica
windows, these versatile imagers are
widely used in high-speed document
reading, web inspection, mail sorting,
production measurement and gauging
position sensing, spectroscopy and
many other industrial and scientific
applications requiring peak imager
performance.
Note: While the P-Series imagers have been
designed to resist electrostatic discharge
(ESD), they can be damaged from such dis-
charges. Always observe proper ESD precau-
tions when handling and storing this imager.
