High Speed, High Throughput Two Dimensional Direct Electron Detector Based on the Concept of pnCCDs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two dimensional direct detection electron imaging solid state sensor systems, subject to intense radiation, suffer from charge overflow to neighbouring pixels. This not only affects the dynamic range and linearity, but also the position precision of e.g. the electron impinging on the detector. Various techniques have been proposed to overcome the problem of charge overflowing the pixels. Several sensors are able to cope with up to a few million signal charges per pixel. In many scientific applications, e.g. in free electron laser science and electron detection in TEMs, this is by far not sufficient. We have developed a technique to handle 1 billion signal charges per pixel without charge spilling over to neighbouring pixel within one readout frame of typically 1 ms. The quality of the point spread function remains unchanged but amplitude information may be degraded. We call this mode of operation: controlled charge extraction (CE) mode.

In this paper a new architecture for delay locked loops will be presented. One of problems in phase-frequency detectors (PFD) is static phase offset or reset path delay. The proposed structure decreases the jitter resulted from PFD by switching two PFDs. In this new architecture, a conventional PFD is used before locking of DLL to decrease the amount of phase difference between input and outpu...
