The CCD 3041 is a 2048(H) x 2048(V) solid state Charge Coupled Device (CCD) full frame sensor. The CCD is intended for advanced scientific, aerospace, industrial, and medical imaging applications. The CCD 3041 active area is organized as an array of 2048 horizontal by 2048 vertical imaging elements. The pixel pitch is 15µm with a 100% fill factor. For dark reference, each readout line is preceded by 16 dark pixels. The imager is available in front- or back-illuminated configurations; however, this data sheet is for the back-illuminated configuration only. A split readout architecture has been adopted to facilitate high data rates with simultaneous readout from four output ports, and provides the flexibility to read out the entire image frame from two output ports, or from a single output port to simplify the drive electronics requirements.

A single-stage source follower output amplifier design has been selected for low noise performance. The readout noise floor is typically better than 3 e- at a pixel rate of 50 kHz. Each output amplifier is capable of operating at up to 5 MHz with less than 20 e- nominal read noise.

The CCD 3041 is mounted in a custom ceramic package for improved flatness uniformity and minimized mass. The PGA package is 36.8 x 45.7 mm with 46 pins.
