ADVANTAGES OF DIGITAL FPAs

Santa Barbara Focalplane's advanced Digital FPA technology provides distinct advantages to IR imaging systems including sharp integration time, high speed data output ultra low noise and virtually no cross talk and others as noted below:

• High-speed data output.
• Simple data handling since the FPA puts out digital data directly.
• Low noise data output and immunity to external noise sources for NUC stability.
• Lower on-chip power than analog FPAs, especially in large formats.
• Much lower power for warm electronics.
• Faster than analog FPAs.
• Virtually no Crosstalk.
• Better uniformity & linearity than analog FPAs.
• Extremely sharp turn-on & turn-off to integration time allows true sub-microsecond integration.
• Digital on-chip processing possible.
