Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a driving technology of a CCD, in particular to a system for realizing a high-speed and high-voltage driving signal of an EMCCD. Background technique
[0002] When imaging a darker target, if the noise of the CCD's readout amplifier is relatively large, it will often cover up the useful signal, especially when the readout speed is high, and the readout noise will increase with the increase of the readout speed . With the continuous development of CCD manufacturing technology, the advent of EMCCD enables tiny signals to overcome the noise of the readout amplifier, and this type of CCD can obtain image quality similar to that of ICCD without any additional structure; EMCCD's The basic structure is roughly the same as the traditional frame transfer CCD, but hundreds of gain registers are added between the readout register and the sense amplifier. Its electrode structure is different from the transfer register, and the signal is g...
