The TC221, TC225 and TC227 are full-framecharge-coupled device (CCD) image sensorsdesigned specifically for medical and industrialapplications where ruggedness and small size arerequired. The image-area diagonal measures1.3mm for the TC227, 2.4 mm for the TC221, and3.63 mm for the TC225. The image sensorscontain, in addition to dark reference pixels, 190,285, and 102 active lines with 190, 285, and 102active pixels per line, respectively. Theantiblooming feature is activated by supplyingclock pulses to the antiblooming gate, an integralpart of each image-sensing element. The chargeis converted to signal voltage at 9.5 µV perelectron by a high performance structure withbuilt-in automatic reset and a voltage-referencegenerator. The signal is further buffered by alow-noise two-stage source-follower amplifier toprovide high output-drive capability.

The TC221 and TC227 are supplied in 6-pin molded plastic packages; the TC225 is supplied in a 10-pin moldedplastic package. The glass window can be cleaned using any standard method for cleaning optical assembliesor by wiping the surface with a cotton swab soaked in alcohol.

This MOS device contains limited built-in gate protection. During storage or handling, the device leads should be shorted togetheror the device should be placed in conductive foam. In a circuit, unused inputs should always be connected to SUB. Under nocircumstances should pin voltages exceed absolute maximum ratings. Avoid shorting OUTn to ADB during operation to preventdamage to the amplifier. The device can also be damaged if the output terminals are reverse-biased and an excessive current isallowed to flow. Specific guidelines for handling devices of this type are contained in the publication Guidelines for HandlingElectrostatic-Discharge-Sensitive (ESDS) Devices and Assemblies available from Texas Instruments.TC225

2-4POST OFFICE BOX 655303 • DALLAS, TEXAS 75265detailed description

The TC221, TC225, and TC227 consist of four basic functional blocks: (1) the image-sensing area, (2) the serialregisters, (3) the sensor node, and (4)the low-noise source-follower amplifier. The location of each of theseblocks is identified in the functional block diagram.

image-sensing area

As light enters the silicon in the image-sensing area, free electrons are generated and collected in the potentialwells of the sensing elements. During this time, blooming protection is activated by applying a burst of pulsesto the antiblooming gate. This prevents blooming by the spilling of charge from overexposed elements intoneighboring elements. After integration and under dark conditions, the charge is transferred line by line into theserial register(s). The required timing is shown in Figure 1 through Figure 3. During transfer, the antibloominggate is held at a low level. Each imager contains a specified number of dark pixels on the left side of theimage-sensing area. These elements provide the dark reference used in subsequent video-processing circuitsto restore the video black level.
