CHROMA FPE

Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document provides technical specifications and features of the CHROMA™ Visible-Infrared Focal Plane Electronics (FPE) developed by Teledyne Imaging Sensors. It is designed for visible-infrared spectral imaging applications and supports CHROMA and other ROIC-based sensors.

Specifications
  • Host Control: Utilizes a Camera Link serial port with COM port drivers to facilitate host control software development.
  • Onboard Converters: Includes two A/D converters for DSUB & REF bias diagnostics and an independent 16-bit A/D converter for each analog channel.
  • Pixel Clock Frequency: Operates at 10 MHz, customizable via FPGA logic.
  • Interface: Full Camera Link interface with mini-sized connectors, supporting full frame or sub-frame window sizes.
  • Power Supplies: Four low noise ROIC power supplies are provided.

FPE Characteristics
The FPE board is based on a Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA and supports up to 8 analog outputs from a CHROMA ROIC. It interfaces with the analog outputs and timing signals, converting data to a Camera Link compatible signal.

Input/Output Connectors
  • Samtec ERF8-style connector for 8 ROIC outputs.
  • Micro-D 37-pin connector for 4 or 8 ROIC outputs.
  • Camera Link/2× 3M Shrunk Delta Ribbon connectors with full pinout.

Power Input
  • 4 channel: +5 VDC at 1.2 amp nominal, 2 amp maximum.
  • 8 channel: +5 VDC at 1.7 amp nominal, 2 amp maximum.

Dimensions
  • Board: 4.3×6.25 inch / 10.9×15.9 cm.
  • Enclosure: 4.9×7.6×1.5 inch / 12.4×19.3×3.8 cm.

Conclusion
The CHROMA FPE is a sophisticated system designed for high-performance spectral imaging, offering extensive support for various configurations and ensuring compatibility with Camera Link interfaces.

CHROMA  FPE-1

CHROMA™ Visible-Infrared Focal Plane Electronics CHROMA™ (Configurable Hyperspectral Readout for Multiple Applications) is an advanced focal plane array (FPA) developed for visible-infrared spectral imaging applications. The CHROMA Focal Plane Electronics (FPE) board provides interface, control, and I/O support for CHROMA and other ROIC-based sensors. Based on a Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA, the board interfaces to the analog outputs and timing signals of the CHROMA ROIC, samples the output signals, and converts the data to a Camera Link compatible signal.
