`
`description
`
`The TC255P is a frame-transfer charge-coupled device (CCD) designed for use in B/W NTSC TV and special-
`purpose applications where low cost and small size are desired.
`
`The image-sensing area of the TC255P is configured in 243 lines with 336 elements in each line. Twelve
`elements are provided in each line for dark reference. The blooming-protection feature of the sensor is based
`on recombining excess charge with charge of opposite polarity in the substrate. This antiblooming is activated
`by supplying clocking pulses to the antiblooming gate, which is an integral part of each image-sensing element.
`
`The sensor can be operated in a noninterlace mode as a 324(H) by 243(V) sensor with low dark current. The
`device can also be operated in an interlace mode, electronically displacing the image-sensing elements during
`the charge integration in alternate fields, and effectively increasing the vertical resolution and minimizing
`aliasing.
`
`One important aspect of this image sensor is its high-speed image-transfer capability. This capability allows for
`an electronic-shutter function comparable to interline-transfer and frame-interline-transfer sensors without the
`loss of sensitivity and resolution inherent in those technologies.
`The charge is converted to signal voltage with a 12-µV per electron conversion factor by a high-performance
`charge-detection structure with built-in automatic reset and a voltage-reference generator. The signal is
`buffered by a low-noise two-stage source-follower amplifier to provide high output-drive capability.
`
`The TC255P uses TI-proprietary virtual-phase technology, which provides devices with high blue response, low
`dark signal, high photoresponse uniformity, and single-phase clocking. The TC255P is characterized for
`operation from –10°C to 45°C.
`
`This MOS device contains limited built-in gate protection. During storage or handling, the device leads should be shorted together
`or the device should be placed in conductive foam. In a circuit, unused inputs should always be connected to SUB. Under no
`circumstances should pin voltages exceed absolute maximum ratings. Avoid shorting OUTn to ADB during operation to prevent
`damage to the amplifier. The device can also be damaged if the output terminals are reverse-biased and an excessive current is
`allowed to flow. Specific guidelines for handling devices of this type are contained in the publication Guidelines for Handling
`Electrostatic-Discharge-Sensitive (ESDS) Devices and Assemblies available from Texas Instruments.
`
`PRODUCTION DATA information is current as of publication date.
`Products conform to specifications per the terms of Texas Instruments
`standard warranty. Production processing does not necessarily include
`testing of all parameters.

`TC255P
`336- × 244-PIXEL CCD IMAGE SENSOR
`
`SOCS057A – JUNE 1996 – REVISED MARCH 2003
`
`detailed description
`
`
`
`The TC255P consists of five basic functional blocks: 1) the image-sensing area, 2) the image-clear line, 3) the
`image-storage area, 4) the serial register, and 5) the charge-detection node and output amplifier.
`
`image-sensing area
`
`Cross sections with potential-well diagrams and top views of image-sensing and storage-area elements are
`shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2. As light enters the silicon in the image-sensing area, free electrons are
`generated and collected in the potential wells of the sensing elements. During this time, the antiblooming gate
`is activated by the application of a burst of pulses every horizontal-blanking interval. This prevents blooming
`caused by the spilling of charge from overexposed elements into neighboring elements. To generate the dark
`reference that is necessary in subsequent video-processing circuits for restoration of the video-black level, there
`are 12 columns of elements on the left edge of the image-sensing area shielded from light. There is also one
`column of elements on the right side of the image-sensing area and one line between the image-sensing area
`and the image-clear line.

`image-clear line
`During start-up or electronic-shutter operations, it is necessary to clear the image area of charge without
`transferring it to the storage area. In such situations, the two image-area gates are clocked 244 times without
`clocking the storage-area gate. The charge in the image area is then cleared through the image-clear line.

`
`image-storage area
`
`After exposure, the image-area charge packets are transferred through the image-clear line to the storage area.
`The stored charge is then transferred line by line into the serial register for readout. Figure 3 illustrates the timing
`to (1) transfer the image to the storage area and (2) to transfer each line from the storage area to the serial
`register.

`
`After each line is clocked into the serial register, it is read out pixel by pixel. Figure 3 illustrates the serial-register
`clock sequence.

`
`charge-detection node and output amplifier
`
`
`
`The buffer amplifier converts charge into a video signal. Figure 4 shows the circuit diagram of the
`charge-detection node and output amplifier. As charge is transferred into the detection node, the potential of
`this node changes in proportion to the amount of signal received. This change is sensed by an MOS transistor
`and, after proper buffering, the signal is supplied to the output terminal of the image sensor. After the potential
`change is sensed, the node is reset to a reference voltage supplied by an on-chip reference generator. The reset
`is accomplished by a reset gate that is connected internally to the serial register. The detection node and buffer
`amplifier are located a short distance from the edge of the storage area; therefore, two dummy cells are used
`to span this distance.

` 336- × 244-PIXEL CCD IMAGE SENSOR
`
`
` SOCS057A – JUNE 1996 – REVISED MARCH 2003
`
`spurious-nonuniformity specification
`
`The spurious-nonuniformity specification of the TC255P is based on several sensor characteristics:
`• Amplitude of the nonuniform pixel
`• Polarity of the nonuniform pixel
`– Black
`– White
`• Column amplitude
`The CCD sensor is characterized in both an illuminated condition and a dark condition. In the dark condition,
`the nonuniformity is specified in terms of absolute amplitude as shown in Figure 5. In the illuminated condition,
`the nonuniformity is specified as a percentage of the total illumination as shown in Figure 6.
`
`The specification for the TC255P is as follows:
`
`WHITE SPOT
`(DARK)
`
`WHITE SPOT
`(ILLUMINATED)
`
`COLUMN
`(DARK)
`

`
`BLACK SPOT

`
`x < 15%
`x < 1 mV
`x < 0.5 mV
`x < 15%
`x < 15 mV
`† A white/black pair nonuniformity will be no more than 2 pixels even for integration times of 1/60 second.
`
`WHITE/BLACK†
`PAIR
`
`x < 9mV
`
`The conditions under which this specification is defined are as follows:
`• The integration time is 1/60 second except for illuminated white spots, illuminated black spots and
`white/black pair nonuniformities; in these three cases, the integration time is 1/240 second.
`• The temperature is 45°C.
`• The CCD video-output signal is 60 mV ± 10 mV.

`NOTES: 11. Saturation is the condition in which further increase in exposure does not lead to further increase in output signal.
`12. Blooming is the condition in which charge is induced in an element by light incident on another element. Blooming-overload ratio
`is the ratio of blooming exposure to saturation exposure.
`13. Smear is a measure of the error introduced by transferring charge through an illuminated pixel in shutterless operation. It is equivalent
`to the ratio of the single-pixel transfer time to the exposure time using an illuminated section that is 1/10 of the image-area vertical
`height with recommended clock frequencies.
`14. The exposure time is 16.67 ms, the fast-dump clocking rate during vertical transfer is 12.5 MHz, and the illuminated section is 1/10
`of the height of the image section.
