ADVANTAGES OF DIGITAL FPA's

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:

• Simple data handling since the FPA puts out digital data directly.
• Low noise data output & immune to external noise sources so NUC is more stable.
• Lower on-chip power than analog FPA's, especially in large formats.
• Much lower power for warm electronics.
• Faster than analog FPA's.
• No Crosstalk.
• Better uniformity & linearity than analog FPA's.
• Extremely sharp turn-on & turn-off to integration time allows true sub-microsecond integration.
• Digital on-chip processing possible.
