The C11165 is a driver circuit designed for HAMAMATSU CCD image sensor S11155/S11156-2048. The C11165 can be used in spectrometers when combined with the S11155/S11156-2048. The C11165 holds a CCD driver circuit, analog video signal processing circuit (16-bit A/D converter), timing generator, control circuit and power supply. The C11165 converts analog video signals from a CCD into digital signals and outputs them. The USB connector (USB 2.0) provided as a standard feature easily connects to a PC for the C11165 control and data acquisition. The C11165 also has a BNC connector for external trigger input and pulse output. The C11165 is compact, lightweight and very easy to handle.
