ΔΣ modulator

• The ASIC contains the preamplifier and the ΔΣ modulator, and the FPGA the decimation filter. • Odd and even pixels are processed separately and simultaneously using the individual chain.• Separate processing of the odd/even pixels results in systematic difference of the zero level: raw image always shows vertical stripe pattern.

Overview of the SXI Electronics 8

SXI-FE contains four sets of CCD drivers. • Each driver generates and distributes the analog signals to drive CCDs. • Driver board also collects the housekeeping (HK) information (e.g. temperature, voltage)

Development of data acquisition system

• Purposes of the breadboard models (BBMs) are:

- to verify the function of each circuit boards

- to establish the DAQ system from CCD to SpW I/F

• Development of the BBM is separated into two steps:

- BBM0: development was done (2007-2010)

- BBM1: development is in progress (since 2011)

• A smaller format of CCD than the flight model is used for

the BBM development.

An example of the imageBBM0 15

• The images are successfully obtained. • Pixel rate: 100 kHz, CCD temperature: -35 degC, 55Fe source is used• The vertical stripe pattern is due to the separate processing of odd/even pixels in the ΔΣ-ADC.

An example of the imageBBM1

• CCD temperature: 28 deg C, Pixel rate : 69 kHz • A frame transfer CCD was operated in a full-frame transfer mode. This causes the difference between the imaging area and the frame store area.
