Storage temperature.............................-55°Cto+150°C
Operating temperature ...........................-40°Cto+85°C
Temperature cycling ...................................................15°C/mn

*NOTICE:Stresses above those listed under ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS may cause permanent device failure.Functionally at or above these limits is not implied.Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods may affect reliability.

The TH7899M sensor is a 2048 x 2048 full frame Charge Couple Device (CCD) designed for a wide range of applications due to both its operating mode flexibility and its high dynamic range combined with its high resolution.The device is 180symmetrical so if it is not plugged in the right side it will not be damaged.

The nominal photosensitive TH7899M area is made up of 2048x 2048 useful pixels split vertically in 4 zones A,B,C and D.Each zone can be driven separately by four-phase clocks (P1 P2 P3 and P4) allowing different operating modes as described in"Image Area"on page 3.

There are two identical horizontal shift registers:one at the top of the image area (register A) and one at the bottom (register B).At each end of the two readout registers,a summing gate is located which can be clocked to allow a horizonta pixel summation in front of the on-chip output amplifier.
