LUPA-4000  
Data Sheet  
1 Preamble  
1.1 Overview  
This document describes the interfacing and the driving of the LUPA-4000 image  
sensor. This 4 mega-pixel CMOS active pixel sensor features synchronous shutter and  
a maximal frame-rate of 15fps in full resolution. The readout speed can be boosted by  
means of sub sampling and windowed Region Of Interest (ROI) readout. High  
dynamic range scenes can be captured using the double and multiple slope  
functionality.  
The sensor can be used with one or two outputs. Two on chip 10-bit ADC’s can be  
used to convert the analog data to a 10-bit digital word stream. The sensor uses a 3-  
wire Serial-Parallel (SPI) interface. It is housed in a 127-pin ceramic PGA package.  
This datasheet allows the user to develop a camera-system based on the described  
timing and interfacing.

Figure 1: Spectral response curve  
Figure 1 shows the spectral response characteristic. The curve is measured directly on  
the pixels. It includes effects of non-sensitive areas in the pixel, e.g. interconnection  
lines. The sensor is light sensitive between 400 and 1000 nm. The peak QE * FF is  
37.5% approximately between 500 and 700 nm. In view of a fill factor of 60%, the  
QE is thus larger than 60% between 500 and 700 nm.

3 Sensor architecture  
A schematic drawing of the architecture is given in the block diagram below. The  
image core consists of a pixel array, one X- and two Y-addressing registers (only one  
drawn), pixel array drivers and column amplifiers. The image sensor of 2048 * 2048  
pixels is read out in progressive scan. One or two output amplifiers read out the  
image sensor. The output amplifiers are working at 66MHz pixel rate nominal speed  
or each at 33MHz pixel rate in case the 2 output amplifiers are used to read out the  
imager. The complete image sensor has been designed for operation up to 66MHz.  
The structure allows having a programmable addressing in the x-direction in steps of  
2 and in the y-direction in steps of 2 (only even start addresses in X- and Y-direction  
are possible). The starting point of the address is uploadable by means of the Serial-  
Parallel Interface (SPI).

3.2 Frame rate and windowing  
3.2.1 Frame rate  
To obtain a frame rate a 15 frames /sec, one needs 1 output amplifier, working at  
66MHz pixel rate or 2 output amplifiers working at 33MHz each (assuming a Row  
Overhead Time (ROT) of 200nsec).  
The frame period of the LUPA-4000 sensor can be calculated as follows:  
Frame period = FOT + (Nr. Lines * (ROT + pixel period * Nr. Pixels)  
with: FOT: Frame Overhead Time = 5 us.  
Nr. Lines: Number of Lines read out each frame (Y).  
Nr. Pixels: Number of pixels read out each line (X).  
ROT: Row Overhead Time = 200 ns (nominal; can be further reduced).  
Pixel period: 1/66 MHz = 15.15 ns.  
Example read out of the full resolution at nominal speed (66 MHz pixel rate):  
Frame period = 5 us + (2048 * (200 ns + 15.15 ns * 2048) = 64 ms => 15 fps.  
3.2.2 ROI read out (windowing)  
Windowing can easily be achieved by a serial–parallel uploadable interface in which  
the starting point of the x- and y-address is uploaded. This downloaded starting point  
initiates the shift register in the x- and y-direction triggered by the Sync_x and Sync_y  
pulse. The minimum step size for the x-address and the y-address is 2 (only even start  
addresses can be chosen). The size of both address registers is 10 bits. When for  
instance the addresses 0000000001 and 0000000001 are uploaded, the readout will  
start at line 2 and column 2.

3.3 Output amplifier  
1 output amplifier working at 66Mpixels/sec is required to bring the whole pixel array  
of 2048 by 2048 pixels at the required frame rate to the outside world. A second  
output stage is also foreseen to convert the analog data on-chip by 2 10-bit ADC’s  
each working at 33 MHz. By having a second output stage working in parallel, the  
pixel rate can be more relaxed to 33MHz for both output amplifiers. Using only one  
output-stage, the output signal will be the result of multiplexing between the 2 internal  
buses. When using 2 output-stages, both outputs will be in phase.  
Each output-stage has 2 outputs. One output is the pixel signal; the second output is a  
DC signal which offset can be programmed using a 7-bit word. The DC signal can be  
used for common mode rejection between the 2 signals. The disadvantage is an  
increase in power dissipation however this can be reduced by setting the highest DAC  
voltage by means of the SPI.

Figure 5: Output stage architecture  
The output voltage of Out1 will be between 1.3V (dark level) and 0.3V (white level)  
and depends on process variations and voltage supply settings. The output voltage of  
Out2 is determined by the DAC.  
3.4 Pixel array drivers  
We have foreseen on this image sensor on chip drivers for the pixel array signals. Not  
only the driving on system level is easy and flexible, also the maximum currents  
applied to the sensor are controlled on chip. This means that the charging on sensor  
level is fixed and that the sensor cannot be overdriven from externally. In the  
paragraph on the timing, the operation of the on-chip drivers is explained more in  
detail.

Data Sheet  
3.5 Column amplifiers  
The column amplifiers are designed for minimum power dissipation and minimum  
loss of signal for this reason multiple biasing signals are needed.  
The column amplifiers also have the “voltage-averaging” feature integrated. In case  
of voltage averaging mode, the voltage average between 2 columns is taken and read  
out. In this mode only 2:1 pixels have to be read out.  
To achieve the voltage-averaging mode, an additional external digital signal called  
“voltage-averaging” is required in combination with a bit from the SPI.  
3.6 Analog to Digital Converter  
The LUPA4000 has a two 10 bit flash analog digital converters running nominally at  
33 Msamples/s. The ADC’s are electrically separated from the image sensor. The  
inputs of the ADC should be tied externally to the outputs of the output amplifiers.  
One ADC will sample the even columns and the other one will sample the odd  
columns. Although the input range of the ADC is between 1V and 2V and the output  
range of the analog signal is only between 0.3V and 1.3V, the analog output and  
digital input may be tied to each other directly. This is possible because there is an on  
chip level-shifter located in front of the ADC to lift up the analog signal to the ADC  
range.

clock cycles before this pixel data is at the output of the ADC. This pipeline delay is  
shown in Figure 6.

The values of the resistors depend on the value of RADC. The voltage difference  
between ADC_VLOW and ADC_VHIGH should be at least 1.0V to assure proper  
working of the ADC.  
3.7 Synchronous shutter  
In a synchronous (snapshot) shutter light integration takes place on all pixels in  
parallel, although subsequent readout is sequential.

Figure 8: Synchronous shutter operation  
Figure 8 shows the integration and read out sequence for the synchronous shutter. All  
pixels are light sensitive at the same period of time. The whole pixel core is reset  
simultaneously and after the integration time all pixel values are sampled together on  
the storage node inside each pixel. The pixel core is read out line by line after  
integration. Note that the integration and read out cycle can occur in parallel or in  
sequential mode. (ref. 4. Timing and read out of the image sensor)  
3.8 Non-destructive readout (NDR)  
The sensor can also be read out in a non-destructive way. After a pixel is initially  
reset, it can be read multiple times, without resetting. The initial reset level and all  
intermediate signals can be recorded. High light levels will saturate the pixels  
quickly, but a useful signal is obtained from the early samples. For low light levels,  
one has to use the later or latest samples.

One can distinguish the different signals into different groups:  
Power supplies and grounds  
Biasing and Analog signals  
Pixel array signals  
Digital signals  
Test signals  
3.9.1 Power supplies and ground  
Every module on chip, as there are: column amplifiers, output stages, digital modules,  
drivers… has its own power supply and ground. Off chip the grounds can be  
combined, but not all power supplies may be combined. This results in several  
different power supplies, but this is required to reduce electrical cross-talk and to  
improve shielding, dynamic range and output swing.  
On chip we have the ground lines of every module which are kept separately to  
improve shielding and electrical cross talk between them.

able to deliver these currents except for Vmem_l and Vpre_l, which must be able to  
sink this current.  
The maximum peak current for Vpix should not be higher than 500mA. It is important  
to notice that no power supply filtering on chip is implemented and that noise on these  
power supplies can contribute immediately to the noise on the signal. Especially the  
voltage supplies Vpix and Vaa are important to be well noise free.

3.9.2 Start-up sequence  
The LUPA-4000 will go in latch up (draw high current) as soon as all power supplies  
are turned on at the same time. The sensor will come out of latch-up and start working  
normally as soon as it is being clocked. A power supply with a 400 mA limit is  
recommended to avoid damage to the sensor. It is recommended to avoid the time that  
the device is in the latch-up state, so clocking of the sensor should start as soon as  
possible (i.e. as soon as the system is turned on).  
In order to completely avoid latch-up of the image sensor, the next sequence should  
be taken into account:  
o Apply Vdd  
o Apply clocks and digital pulses to the sensor  
o Count 2048 clock_x and 2048 clock_y pulses to empty the shift  
registers  
o Apply other supplies  
3.9.3 Biasing and analog signals  
The analog output levels that may be expected are between 0.3V for a white,  
saturated, pixel and 1.3V for a black pixel.  
2 Output stages are foreseen, each consisting of 2 output amplifiers, resulting in 4  
outputs. 1 Output amplifier is used for the analog signal resulting from the pixels.  
The second amplifier is used for a dc reference signal. The dc-level from the buffer is  
defined by a DAC, which is controlled by a 7-bit word downloaded in the SPI.  
Additionally, an extra bit in the SPI defines if 1 output or the 2 output stages are used.  
Table 10 summarizes the biasing signals required to drive this image sensor. For  
optimisation reasons of the biasing of the column amplifiers with respect to power  
dissipation, we need several biasing resistors. This optimisation results in an increase  
of signal swing and dynamic range.

3.10 Pixel array signals  
The Pixel array of the image sensor requires digital control signals and several  
different power supplies. This paragraph explains the relation between the control  
signals and the applied supplies and the internal generated pixel array signals.  
From figure 9 one can see that the internal generated pixel array signals are Reset,  
Sample, Precharge, Vmem and Row_select. These are internal generated signals  
derived by on chip drivers from external applied signals. Row_select is generated by  
the y addressing and will not be discussed in this paragraph.  
The function of each of the signals is:  
Reset: Resets the pixel and initiates the integration time. If reset is high than the  
photodiode is forced to a certain voltage, depending on Vpix, which is the pixel  
supply; and depending on the high level of reset signal. The higher these signals or  
supplies are, the higher the voltage-swing. The limitation on the high level of Reset  
and Vpix is 3.3V. Nevertheless, it has no sense increasing Vpix without increasing  
the reset level. The opposite does make sense. Additionally, it is this reset pulse that  
also controls the dual or multiple slope feature inside the pixel. By giving a reset  
pulse during integration, but not at full reset level, the photodiode is reset to a new  
value, only if his value is sufficient decreased due to light illumination.  
The low level of reset is 0V, but the high level is 2.5V or higher (3.3V) for the normal  
reset and a lower (<2.5V) level for the multiple slope reset.  
Precharge: Precharge serves as a load for the first source follower in the pixel and is  
activated to overwrite the current information on the storage node by the new  
information on the photodiode. Precharge is controlled by an external digital signal  
between 0 and 2.5V.  
Sample: Samples the photodiode information onto the memory element. This signal  
is also a standard digital level between 0 and 2.5V  
Vmem: this signal increases the information on the memory element with a certain  
offset. This way one can increase the output voltage variation. Vmem changes  
between Vmem_l (2.5V) and Vmem_h (3.3V).

Figure 10: Internal timing of the pixel. Levels are defined by the pixel array voltage supplies (For  
the correct polarities of the signals refer to table 11).  
The signals in figure 10 are generated from the on chip drivers. These on chip drivers  
need 2 types of signals to generate the exact type of signal. It needs digital control  
signals between 0 and 3.3V (internally converted to 2.5V) with normal driving  
capability and power supplies. The control signals are required to indicate the  
moment they need to occur and the power supplies indicate the level.  
Vmem is made of a control signal Mem_hl and 2 supplies Vmem_h and Vmem_l. If  
the signal Mem_hl is the logic “0” than the internal signal Vmem is low, if Mem_hl is  
logic “1” the internal signal Vmem is high.  
Reset is made by means of 2 control signals: Reset and Reset_ds and 2 supplies: Vres  
and Vres_ds. Depending on the signal that becomes active, the corresponding supply  
level is applied to the pixel.  
Table 11 summarizes the relation between the internal and external pixel array  
signals.

In case the dual slope operation is desired, one needs to give a second reset pulse to a  
lower reset level during integration. This can be done by the control signal Reset_ds  
and by the power supply Vres_ds that defines the level to which the pixel has to be  
reset.  
Note that Reset is dominant over Reset_ds, which means that the high voltage level  
will be applied for reset, if both pulses occur at the same time.  
Note that multiple slopes are possible having multiple Reset_ds pulses with a lower  
Vres_ds level for each pulse given within the same integration time.

The rise and fall times of the internal generated signals are not very fast (200nsec). In  
fact they are made rather slow to limit the maximum current through the power supply  
lines (Vmem_h, Vmem_l, Vres, Vres_ds, Vdd). Current limitation of those power  
supplies is not required. Nevertheless, it is advisable to limit the currents not higher  
than 400mA.  
The power supply Vmem_l must be able to sink this current because it must be able to  
discharge the internal capacitance from the level Vmem_h to the level Vmem_l. The  
external control signals should be capable of driving input capacitance of about 10pF.  
3.10.1 Digital signals  
The digital signals control the readout of the image sensor. These signals are:  
Sync_y (AH): Starts the readout of the frame. This pulse synchronises the y-  
address register: active high. This signal is at the same time the end of the  
frame or window and determines the window width.  
Clock_y (AH): Clock of the y-register. On the rising edge of this clock, the  
next line is selected.  
Sync_x (AH): Starts the readout of the selected line at the address defined by  
the x-address register. This pulse synchronises the x-address register: active  
high. This signal is at the same time the end of the line and determines the  
window length.  
Clock_x (AH): Determines the pixel rate. A clock of 33MHz is required to  
achieve a pixel rate of 66MHz.  
Spi_data (AH): the data for the SPI  
Spi_clock (AH): clock of the serial parallel interface. This clock downloads  
the data into the SPI register.  
Spi_load (AH): when the SPI register is uploaded, then the data will be  
internally available on the rising edge of SPI_load  
Sh_kol (AL): control signal of the column readout. Is used in sample & hold  
mode and in binning mode  
Norowsel (AH): Control signal of the column readout. (See timing)  
Pre_col (AL): Control signal of the column readout to reduce row blanking  
time  
Voltage averaging (AH): Signal required obtaining voltage averaging of 2  
pixels.  
3.10.2 Test signals  
The test structures implemented in this image sensor are:  
Array of pixels (6*12) which outputs are tied together: used for spectral  
response measurement.  
Temperature diode (2): Apply a forward current of 10-100µA and measure the  
voltage VT of the diode. VT varies linear with the temperature (VT decreases  
with approximately 1,6 mV/°C).

4 Timing and read out of the image sensor  
The timing of the LUPA-4000 sensor consists of 2 parts. The first part is related with  
the control of the pixels, the integration time and the signal level. The second part is  
related with the readout of the image sensor. As this image sensor is able for full  
synchronous shutter, integration time and readout can be in parallel or sequential.  
In the parallel mode the integration time of the frame I is ongoing during readout of  
frame I-1. Figure 11 shows this parallel timing structure.

The control of the readout of the frame and of the integration time are independent of  
each other with the only exception that the end of the integration time from frame I+1  
is the beginning of the readout of frame I+1.  
The LUPA-4000 sensor also can be used in sequential mode (triggered snapshot  
mode) where readout and integration will be sequentially. Figure 12 shows this  
sequential timing sequence.

4.1 Timing of the pixel array  
The first part of the timing is related with the timing of the pixel array. This implies  
the control of the integration time, the synchronous shutter operation and the sampling  
of the pixel information onto the memory element inside each pixel. The signals  
needed for this control are described in the previous paragraph 3.9 and in figure 10.  
Figure 13 shows the external applied signals required to control the pixel array. At  
the end of the integration time from frame I+1, the signals Mem_hl, Precharge and  
Sample have to be given. The reset signal controls the integration time, which is  
defined as the time between the falling edge of reset and the rising edge of sample.  
Figure 13: Timing of the pixel array: The integration time is determined by the falling edge of the  
reset pulse. The longer the pulse is high, the shorter the integration time. At the end of the integration  
time, the information has to be stored onto the memory element for readout.  
Timing specifications for each signal are:

LUPA-4000  
Data Sheet  
The timing of the pixel array is straightforward. Before the frame is read, the  
information on the photodiode needs to be stored onto the memory element inside the  
pixels. This is done by means of the signals Mem_hl, Precharge and Sample. When  
precharge is activated it serves as a load for the first source follower in the pixel.  
Sample stores the photodiode information onto the memory element. Mem_hl pumps  
up this value to reduce the loss of signal in the pixel and this signal must be the  
envelop of Precharge and Sample. After Mem_hl is high again, the readout of the  
pixel array can start. The frame blanking time or frame overhead time is thus the time  
that Mem_hl is low, which is about 5µsec. Once the readout starts, the photodiodes  
can all be initialised by reset for the next integration time. The minimal integration  
time is the minimal time between the falling edge of reset and the rising edge of  
sample. Keeping the slow fall times of the corresponding internal generated signals in  
mind, the minimal integration time is about 2 µsec.  
An additional reset pulse of minimum 2 µsec can be given during integration by  
asserting Reset_ds to implement the double slope integration mode.

4.2 Read out of the image sensor  
As soon as the information of the pixels is stored in to the memory element of each  
pixel, this information can be readout sequentially. As seen in the previous section,  
integration and readout can also be done in parallel.  
The readout timing is straightforward and is basically controlled by means of sync  
and clock pulses.  
Figure 14 shows the top level concept of this timing. The readout of a frame consists  
of the frame overhead time, the selection of the lines sequentially and the readout of  
the pixels of the selected line.

L: selection of line, C: Selection of column.  
The readout of an image consists of the FOT (Frame overhead time) and the  
sequential selection of all pixels. The FOT is the overhead time between 2 frames to  
transfer the information on the photodiode to the memory elements. From figure 13 it  
should be clear that this time is the time that Mem_hl is low (typically 5 µs). After  
the FOT the information is stored into the memory elements and a sequential selection  
of rows and columns makes sure the frame is read.  
4.2.1 X- and Y-addressing  
To readout a frame the lines are selected sequentially. Figure 15 gives the timing to  
select the lines sequentially. This is done by means of a Clock_y and a Sync_y signal.  
The Sync_y signals synchronises the y-addressing and initialises the y-address  
selection registers. The start address is the address downloaded in the SPI multiplied  
by 2.  
On the rising edge of Clock_y the next line is selected. The Sync_y signal is  
dominant and from the moment it occurs the y-address registers are initialised. If a  
Sync_y pulse is given before the end of the frame is reached, only a part of the frame  
will be read. To obtain a correct initialisation Sync_y must contain at least 1 rising  
edge of Clock_y when it is active.

As soon as a new line is selected, it has to be read out by the output amplifiers.  
Before the pixels of the selected line can be multiplexed onto the output amplifiers,  
one has to wait a certain time, indicated as the ROT or Row overhead time shown in

figure 15. This is the time to get the data stable from the pixels to the output bus  
before the output stages. This ROT is in fact lost time and rather critical in a high-  
speed sensor. Different timings to reduce this ROT are explained in next paragraph.  
During the selection of 1 line, 2048 pixels are selected. These 2048 pixels have to be  
readout by 1 (or 2) output amplifier.  
Please note that the pixel rate is the double frequency of the Clock_x frequency. To  
obtain a pixel rate of 66 MHz, one needs to apply a pixel clock Clock_x of 33MHz.  
When only 1 analog output is used 2 pixels are output every Clock_x period. When  
Clock_x is high, the first pixel is selected, when Clock_x is low, the next pixel is  
selected. Consequently, during 1 complete period of Clock_x 2 pixels are readout by  
the output amplifier.  
If 2 analog outputs are used each Clock-X period 1 pixel is presented at each output.  
Figure 16: X-addressing. From bottom to top: Clock_x, Sync_x, internal selection pixel 1&2, internal  
selection pixel 3&4, internal selection pixel 5 & 6.  
The first pixel that is selected is the x-address downloaded in the SPI. The starting  
address is the number downloaded into the SPI, multiplied with 2.  
Windowing is achieved by a starting address downloaded in the SPI and the size of  
the window. In the x-direction, the size is determined by the moment a new Clock_y  
is given. In the y-direction, the sync_y pulse determines the size. Consequently, the  
best way to obtain a certain window is by using an internal counter in the controller.  
Figure 16 is the simulation result after extraction of the layout module from a  
different sensor to show the principle. In this figure the pixel clock has a frequency of  
50MHz, which would result in a pixel rate of 100 Msamples/sec.  
Figure 17 shows the relation between the applied Clock_x and the output signal.

Figure 17: output signal related to Clock_x signal. From bottom to top: Clock_x, Sync_x and output.  
The output level before the first pixel is the level of the last pixel of previous line.  
As soon as Sync_x is high and 1 rising edge of Clock_x occurs, the pixels are brought  
to the analog outputs. This is again the simulation result of a comparable sensor to  
show the principle.  
Please note there is a time difference between the clock edge and the moment the data  
is seen at the output. As this time difference is very difficult to predict in advance, it  
is advisable to have the ADC sampling clock flexible to set an optimal Adc sampling  
point. The time differences can easily vary between 5 – 15nsec and have to be tested  
on the real devices.  
4.2.2 Reduced Row Overhead Time timing  
The row overhead time is the time between the selection of lines that one has to wait  
to get the data stable at the column amplifiers.  
This row overhead time is a loss in time, which should be reduced as much as  
possible.

4.2.2.a  
Standard timing (200ns)  
Figure 18: Standard timing for the R.O.T. Only pre_col and Norowsel control signals are required.  
In this case the control signals Norowsel and pre_col are made active for about 20nsec  
from the moment the next line is selected. The time these pulses have to be active is  
related with the biasing resistance Pre_load. The lower this resistance, the shorter the  
pulse duration of Norowsel and pre_col may be. After these pulses are given, one has  
to wait for at least 180nsec before the first pixels can be sampled. For this mode  
Sh_col must be made active all the time.  
4.2.2.b  
Back-up timing (ROT =100-200 ns)  
A straightforward way of reducing the R.O.T is by using a sample and hold function.  
By means of Sh_col the analog data is tracked during the first 100nsec during the  
selection of a new set of lines. After 100nsec, the analog data is stored. The ROT is  
in this case reduced to 100nsec, but as the internal data was not stable yet dynamic  
range is lost because not the complete analog levels are reached yet after 100ns.  
Figure 18 shows this principle. Sh_col is now a pulse of 100ns-200ns starting at the  
same moment as pre_col and Norowsel. The duration of Sh_col is equal to the ROT.  
The shorter this time the shorter the ROT will be however this lowers also the  
dynamic range.  
In case “voltage averaging” is required, the sensor must work in this mode with  
Sh_col signal and a “voltage averaging” signal must be generated after Sh_col drops  
and before the readout starts (see figure 15).  
Figure 19: Reduced standard ROT by means of Sh_col signal. pre_col (short pulse) , Norowsel (short  
pulse) and Sh_col (large pulse).

4.2.3 Precharging of the buses  
This timing mode is exactly the same as the mode without sample and hold, except  
that the prebus1 and prebus2 signals are activated. It should be noticed that the  
precharging of the buses can be combined with all of the timing modes discussed  
above. The idea is to have a short pulse of about 5ns to precharge the output buses to  
a well-known level. This mode makes the ghosting of bad columns impossible.  
In this mode, Nsf_load must be made much larger (at least 1Mohms).

7 Handling and soldering precautions  
Special care should be given when soldering image sensors with color filter arrays  
(RGB color filters), onto a circuit board, since color filters are sensitive to high  
temperatures. Prolonged heating at elevated temperatures may result in deterioration  
of the performance of the sensor. The following recommendations are made to ensure  
that sensor performance is not compromised during end-users’ assembly processes.  
Board Assembly:  
Device placement onto boards should be done in accordance with strict ESD controls  
for Class 0, JESD22 Human Body Model, and Class A, JESD22 Machine Model  
devices. Assembly operators should always wear all designated and approved  
grounding equipment; grounded wrist straps at ESD protected workstations are  
recommended including the use of ionized blowers. All tools should be ESD  
protected.  
Manual Soldering:  
When a soldering iron is used the following conditions should be observed:  
Use a soldering iron with temperature control at the tip.  
The soldering iron tip temperature should not exceed 350°C.  
The soldering period for each pin should be less than 5 seconds.  
Precautions and cleaning:  
Avoid spilling solder flux on the cover glass; bare glass and particularly glass with  
antireflection filters may be adversely affected by the flux. Avoid mechanical or  
particulate damage to the cover glass.  
It is recommended that isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is used as a solvent for cleaning the  
image sensor glass lid. When using other solvents, it should be confirmed beforehand  
whether the solvent will dissolve the package and/or the glass lid or not.

Data Sheet  
APPENDIX A: LUPA-4000 evaluation system  
For evaluating purposes an LUPA-4000 evaluation kit is available.  
The LUPA-4000 evaluation kit consists of a multifunctional digital board (memory,  
sequencer and IEEE 1394 Fire Wire interface) and an analog image sensor board.  
Visual Basic software (under Win 2000 or XP) allows the grabbing and display of  
images and movies from the sensor. All acquired images and movies can be stored in  
different file formats (8 or 16-bit). All setting can be adjusted on the fly to evaluate  
the sensors specs. Default register values can be loaded to start the software in a  
desired state.

Please contact Fillfactory (info@Fillfactory.com) if you want any more information  
on the evaluation kit.

Total integration time  
Figure 27: Dual slope diagram  
The green lines are the analog signal on the photodiode, which decrease as a result of  
exposure. The slope is determined by the amount of light at each pixel (the more light  
the steeper the slope). When the pixels reach the saturation level the analog signal will  
not change despite further exposure. As you can see without any double slope pulse  
pixels p3 and p4 will reach saturation before the sample moment of the analog values,  
no signal will be acquired without double slope. When double slope is enabled a  
second reset pulse will be given (blue line) at a certain time before the end of the  
integration time. This double slope reset pulse resets the analog signal of the pixels  
BELOW this level to the reset level. After the reset the analog signal starts to decrease  
with the same slope as before the double slope reset pulse. If the double slope reset  
pulse is placed at the end of the integration time (90% for instance) the analog signal  
that would have reach the saturation levels aren't saturated anymore (this increases the  
optical dynamic range) at read out. It's important to notice that pixel signals above  
the double slope reset level will not be influenced by this double slope reset pulse (p1  
and p2).
