Panavision and Tower Start Production of Fast Linear Sensor

EarthTimes: Panavision and Tower announce production of the linear image sensor they unveiled two months ago. The DLIS-2K sensors were developed using Tower’s Advanced Photo Diode (APD) pixel process and pixel IP with Panavision’s patented imager architecture. The combination of Tower’s 0.18um technology and Panavision architecture enables a 4 X 32 micron pixel with sensitivity exceeding 100 V/Lux.Sec.

The DLIS-2K imager is a quad line sensor with 11 bit A/D, high dynamic range, and Correlated Multi-Sampling (CMS) for enhanced sensitivity. The patented technologies in these sensors include: ambient light subtraction, oversampling, non-destructive read mode, binning of different integrations, auto-thresholding and a high resolution mode with an unprecedented 120MHz pixel readout.
