Description
The SP-11 cameras use DALSA's newest compact modular
architecture. Within the SP-11 camera, driver circuits pro-
vide bias voltages and clocks to the CCD image sensor, tim-
ing circuits generate internal timing, and A/D circuits
process the video and digitize it for output.
Sensor
The SP-11 cameras use DALSA's IL-CC line scan sensors.
The sensors' photoelements have a photosensitive area of
14µm x 14µm and a center to center spacing of 14µm. Fig-
ure 3 shows a block diagram of the IL-CC sensor. See the
IL-CC datasheet (document number 03-36-00125) for
more details.

Operation

Power Supplies

Cameras meet all performance specifications using standard
switching supplies, although well-regulated linear supplies
provide optimum performance. The standard SP-11 re-
quires three input voltages (±5V, +15V), but a single supply
model (SP-12, 12V input) is also available.

Optical Interface

The SP-11 cameras provide an adapter for C-mount or F-
mount (35mm Nikon-compatible) lenses, depending on
sensor resolution. The mount threads into an opening in the
camera's front plate, and is optically aligned to provide the
proper distance between lens and sensor.
