VLSI Vertical Clock Generating Chips for the 160 x 244 and 320 x 244 PtSi IR Cameras

Abstract

A VLSI circuit has been designed and fabricated for the RADC platinum silicide infrared camera with the objective being to reduce the size of future cameras by implementing a significant amount of the 'front end' electronics on a single integrated circuit. The 'front end' electronics consists of a clock driver board, a digital timing board, an analog board, a power conditioning board, and a bias control all located on the sensor head with the IR focal plane and optics. The section of electronics chosen for reduction in this project was the digital timing board responsible for clocking the IR data off the focal plane.
