flat panel sensor c9732dk-11 for soft x-ray imaging, cassette type with usb 2.0 interface large photodiode area: 120 120 mm www.hamamatsu.com 1 the c9732dk-11 is two-dimensional cmos image sensor module designed for x-ray imaging which requires high resolution, large area and wide dynamic range. a target material of x-ray source and x-ray energy adequate for the sensor is mo and 17 kev. the device shape is thin cassette which incorporate on-chip high-resolution scintillator and a control board. an on-board usb 2.0 interface can realize fast data transfer with the c9732dk-11. 2400 2400 pixels (50 m pitch) high resolution 14-bit digital output (usb 2.0 interface) high-speed imaging: 1 frame/s no dead area (insensitive area) due to seamless structure compatible with hamamatsu api (dcam-api) structure the c9732dk-11 is comprised of a sensor board and a control board. mounted on the sensor board is a cmos image sensor chip made up of a two-dimensional photodiode array, row-scanning vertical shift register, and 8 charge amplifier arrays. each charge amplifier ar ray has a horizontal shift register and consists of 300 ch charge amplifiers with cds circuit. csi scintillator is directly deposited on the two-dimensional photodiode array. x-rays incident on the scintillator are convert ed to fluorescence, which then enters the two-dimensional photodiode array where electric charge is accumulated in each pixel according to the ligh t intensity. the accumulated charge on each row is sequentially selected by the row -scanning vertical shift register, transferred to the amplifi ers through the data line, and converted to a voltage signal. then an analog signal is sent out from each amplifier array by scanning the horizontal shift register. the control board converts the analog signal into a 14-bit digital signal, which is then output to a pc through the usb 2.0 int erface. kaccc031 vertical shift register timing pulse generator oscillator pixel number trgout a/d external power supply a.vdd, d.vdd (not attached) photodiode array with directly deposited csi scintillator buffer amp buffer amp processing amp processing amp 12 5760000 5759999 2400 2399 4800 4799 2401 bias generator usb ic trgin fifo a/d fifo video data flat panel control (usb 2.0 interface) note: signals are read out in order of pixel number. charge amp array no. 1 (with horizontal shift register, 300 ch) charge amp array no. 8 (with horizontal shift register, 300 ch) sensor board control board kaccc0310ec x-ray imaging (optimized to 17 kev) features applications
