S7017 series is a family of FFT-CCD area image sensors specifically designed for low-light-level detection in scientific applications. By using the

binning operation, S7017 series can be used as a linear image sensor having a long aperture in the direction of the device length. This makes

S7017 series ideally suited for use in spectrophotometry. The binning operation offers significant improvement in S/N and signal processing

speed compared with conventional methods by which signals are digitally added by an external circuit. S7017 series also features low noise and

low dark signal (MPP mode operation). These enable low-light-level detection and long integration time, thus achieving a wide dynamic range.

S7017 series has a pixel size of 24 × 24

µm and is available in active area of 24.576 (H) × 2.976 (V) and 24.576 (H) × 6.048 (V) mm.

A four-stage Peltier element is built into the same package for thermoelectric cooling. At room temperature operation, the device can be cooled

down to -70 ˚C with using forced air cooling. In addition, since both the CCD chip and Peltier element are hermetically sealed, no dry air is

required, thus allowing easy handling.
