CMOS image sensors are capable of very high-speed non destructive readout, enabling many novel applications. To explore such applications, we designed and prototyped an experimental high speed imaging system based on a CMOS digital pixel sensor (DPS). The experimental system comprises a PCB that has the DPS chip interfaced to a PC via three I/O cards supported by an easy to use software environ...

Commercially available cameras are not designed for a combination of singleframe and high-speed streaming digital video with real-time control of size and location of multiple regions-of-interest (ROIs). A message-passing paradigm is defined to achieve low-level camera control with high-level system operation. This functionality is achieved by asynchronously sending messages to the camera for e...

A shift register of N bit length can be conngured (for most N) with a single exclusive-OR gate to generate periodically 2 N ? 1 diierent states. As each state is directly related to the number of clock pulses received, such a circuit can be used as a counter. The sequential readout of the bit pattern requires nearly no additional logic and many 'shift counters' can easily be daisy chained durin...

The radio-frequency single-electron transistor srf-SETd possesses key requirements necessary for reading out a solid state quantum computer. This work explores the use of the rf-SET as a single-shot readout device in the presence of 1 / f and telegraph charge noise. For a typical spectrum of 1/ f noise we find that high fidelity, single-shot measurements are possible for signals Dq .0.01e. For ...

Owing to recent developments in CMOS technology, it is now possible to exploit tomographic microscopy at third-generation synchrotron facilities with unprecedented speeds. Despite this rapid technical progress, one crucial limitation for the investigation of realistic dynamic systems has remained: a generally short total acquisition time at high frame rates due to the limited internal memory of...

DEPFET pixels offer a unique possibility for a high resolution pixel vertex detector as the innermost component of the tracking system in the TESLA detector. DEPFET pixels excel in comparison to other pixel detectors in the simultaneous achievement of high spatial, energy and time resolution even at room temperature operation. In the DEPFET pixel scheme the signal charge is not shifted out but ...

We have developed ultralow-noise electronics in combination with repetitive, nondestructive readout of a thick, fully depleted charge-coupled device (CCD) to achieve an unprecedented noise level of 0.068  e^{-} rms/pixel. This is the first time that discrete subelectron readout noise has been achieved reproducible over millions of pixels on a stable, large-area detector. This enables the contem...

in this journal, because of the central role of the orient, we have mentioned special points to the readout of theorizing about orient, in each issue.

In September 2008 the Slim5 [1] collaboration submitted a low material budget silicon demonstrator to test with 12 GeV/c protons, at the PS-T9 test-beam at CERN. Inside the reference telescope, two different detectors were placed as device under test (DUT). The first was a 4k-Pixel Matrix of Deep N Well MAPS, developed in a 130 nm CMOS Technology, providing digital sparsified readout. The other...
