Product catalog summary
Introduction
Teledyne Imaging Sensors has developed the CHROMA™ Visible-Infrared Focal Plane Array, a highly advanced sensor for spectral imaging applications. It integrates Teledyne’s substrate-removed HgCdTe detector technology, offering superior performance in visible-infrared detection.

Specifications
  • Array Formats: Configurable with 480 spectral channels and spatial dimensions in multiples of 160 columns (e.g., 320×480, 640×480, 1280×480, 1600×480 pixels).
  • Pixel Pitch: 30×30 μm.
  • Architecture: CMOS readout flip-chip hybridized to a detector, compatible with HgCdTe or HyViSI™ silicon PIN visible detectors.
  • Bandpass Coverage: Ranges from 330-1050 nm, 350-2500 nm, and 380-5500 nm.

Readout Integrated Circuit Characteristics
  • Features a capacitive transimpedance amplifier (CTIA) and correlated double sampling (CDS) in pixel.
  • Full well options include 0.7M, 1M, or 5M electrons with corresponding readout noise levels of 80, 110, or 600 electrons.
  • Readout modes include snapshot and integrate-while-read, with windowing available in the row direction.
  • Dynamic range is 9000:1, with frame readout time scaling with the number of rows read out.
  • Integration time is programmable in row time steps, with a panel-based readout offering one analog output per 160 columns at a data rate of 10 Mpixels/sec.

CHROMA FPA-1

Teledyne Imaging Sensors CHROMA™ Visible-Infrared Focal Plane Array Teledyne’s CHROMA™ configurable Hyperspectral Readout for Multiple Applications) is the most advanced focal plane array (FPA) developed for visible-infrared spectral imaging applications. Combined with Teledyne’s high performance substrate-removed HgCdTe detector technology, the CHROMA™ performance is unmatched by any other sensor. Array formats: 480 spectral channels (rows) with spatial dimension in multiples of 160 columns (e.g. 320×480, 640×480, 1280×480, 1600×480 pixels) Pixel pitch: 30×30 μm FPA architecture is a CMOS readout flip-chip hybridized to a detector. The readout circuit can be mated to substrate-removed HgCdTe for simultaneous visible-infrared detection or Teledyne’s HyViSI™ silicon PIN visible detector. Bandpass coverage: 330-1050 nm, 350-2500 nm, and 380-5500 nm.
