Sensor Description
The STAR1000 is a CMOS image sensor with 1024 by 1024 pixels on a 15 mm pitch. It features on-chip Fixed Pattern Noise (FPN) correction, a programmable gain amplifier, and a 10-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC).
All circuits are designed using the radiation tolerant design rules for CMOS image sensors, to allow high tolerance against total dose effects.
Registers that are directly accessed by the external controller contain the X- and Y- addresses of the pixels to be read. This architecture provides flexible operation and allows different operation modes such as (multiple) windowing, subsampling, and so on.
