S7847-1008

S7847-1008 series is a family of FFT-CCD image sensors specifically designed for low-light-level detection in scientific applications. By using the binning operation, S7847-1008 series can be used as a linear image sensor having a long aperture in the direction of the device length. This makes S7847 series ideally suited for use in spectrophotometry. The binning operation offers significant improvement in S/N and signal processing speed compared with conventional methods by which signals are digitally added by an external circuit. S7847-1008 series also features low noise and low dark signal (MPP mode operation). These enable low-light-level detection and long integration time, thus achieving a wide dynamic range.S7847 series has a pixel size of 24 * 24 m and is available in active area of 24.576 (H) * 2.976 (V) and 24.576 (H) * 6.048 (V) mm.A four-stage Peltier element is built into the same package for thermoelectric cooling. At room temperature operation, the device can be cooled down to -70 °C with using forced air cooling. In addition, since both the CCD chip and Peltier element are hermetically sealed, no dry air is required, thus allowing easy handling.
