Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) technology

Charge-Coupled Device
SDO CCD

We have a strategic programme in the development of Charge-Coupled Device (CCD) detectors and readout electronics technology.

We provide a UK lead through the development of radiation-tolerant ASICs designed specifically for science-grade CCD camera systems.  A new CCD video processing ASIC provides a preamplifier, correlated double sampler and 16-bit ADC all in one low-power chip.
