s Specifications of built-in temperature sensor

A chip thermistor is built in the same package with a CCD chip, and the CCD chip temperature can be monitored with it. A relation

between the thermistor resistance and absolute temperature is expressed by the following equation.

R1 = R2 × expB (1 / T1 - 1 / T2)

where R1 is the resistance at absolute temperature T1 (K)

R2 is the resistance at absolute temperature T2 (K)

B is so-called the B constant (K)

The characteristics of the thermistor used are as follows.

R (298K) = 10 k

Ω

B (298K / 323K) = 3450 K

s Precaution for use (Electrostatic countermeasures)

q Handle these sensors with bare hands or wearing cotton gloves. In addition, wear anti-static clothing or use a wrist band with

an earth ring, in order to prevent electrostatic damage due to electrical charges from friction.

q Avoid directly placing these sensors on a work-desk or work-bench that may carry an electrostatic charge.

q Provide ground lines or ground connection with the work-floor, work-desk and work-bench to allow static electricity to

discharge.

q Ground the tools used to handle these sensors, such as tweezers and soldering irons.

It is not always necessary to provide all the electrostatic measures stated above. Implement these measures according to the

amount of damage that occurs.

s Element cooling/heating temperature incline rate

When cooling the CCD by an externally attached cooler, set the cooler operation so that the temperature gradient (rate of

temperature change) for cooling or allowing the CCD to warm back is less than 5 K/minute.
