DZA-S1115x
Product ID: 0106237.10
Document: ds_dza-s1115x_100e.docx
Based on the CLK and START input signals from the
FEE, the preamplifier board generates all signals required to read out the sensor chip. The analog video
signal from the sensor array is primed and processed
for differential signal output. A synchronous A/D trigger
output is provided to indicate the best sampling instant
(rising slope of the A/D trigger signal). At the end of the
readout sequence, the electronics provides an /EOS
signal pulse.

General
The preamplifier electronics S1115x serves as an interfacing component between the Hamamatsu CCD image
sensor and the Front End Electronics board of a tec5
operation electronics. Typically, the CCD array is
plugged into the DIL-24 socket on the soldering side of
the PCB.
The preamplifier has to be supplied by six DC operating
voltages applied to the power connector. These external voltages are basically required for operation of the
CCD sensor. The tec5 DZA-S7030-4-P board with tec5
ADAP-PWR1 board and CAB-MM 14 cable may be
used to provide the required operating voltages from a
single 12 VDC input.
The interface to the Front End Electronics complies to
the tec5 specification ‘Sensor_U2’ (MICS-18 pin header
connector for PDA control signals and for differential
video signal) for direct interconnection to the FEE-1M.

Digital Input Control Signals (HCT level):
START:
Initiates a readout cycle for the CCD
(active high, minimum length: one CLK
period).
CLK:
Master clock for CCD readout (frequency fCLK), has to be applied continuously.
Used to derive all internal clocking and
the output pixel rate.
Digital output signals (HCT level):
/EOS:
EndOfScan pulse output (active low,
duration: minimum one CLK pulse) to
signal the end of the array readout.
A/D TRIGGER: Pulse chain, signaling the sampling
instant for the video signal for each pixel during readout (active high, duration:
one CLOCK pulse). The video signal
level is held throughout the duration of
the pulse.
