Cross over of complementary clocks (
Φ
L1
and
Φ
L2
) preferably at 50% of their amplitude.
Note:
Generally, the difference between the floating diode level and signal level is the sum of
several signals:
• Register clock feedthrough
• Average CCD register dark signal proportional to CCD clock period, mode, temperature
• Pixel dark signal (depending upon temperature and exposure time)
• Pixel signal under illumination
Note:
1. Transients under 0.0V in the clock pulses will lead to charge injection, causing a localized increase of the dark signal. If such
spurious negative transients are present, they can be removed by inserting a serial resistor of appropriate value (typically
20
Ω
to 100
Ω
) at the relevant driver output.
