Progress in Voltage and Current Mode On-Chip Analog-to-Digital converters for CMOS Image Sensors

Two 8 bit successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (ADC) designs and a 12 bit current mode incremental sigma delta ADC have been designed, fabricated, and tested. The successive approximation test chip designs are compatible with active pixel sensor (APS) column parallel architectures with a 20.4 ??itch in a 1.2 ??-well CMOS process and a 40 ??itch in a 2 ??-well CMOS process. The successive approximation designs consume as little as 49 ??t a 500 KHz conversion rate meeting the low power requirements inherent in column parallel architectures. The current mode incremental sigma-delta ADC test chips designed to be multiplied among 8 columns in a semi-column parallel current mode APS architecture. The higher accuracy ADC consumes 800 ??t a 5 KHz.

Thermally-resilient image sensor packaging approach for Mars2020 enhanced engineering cameras

We will present the steps taken to derive the thermally-resilient electronics packaging design of the Mars2020 EECAM detector. We will highlight analyses and empirical test results that lead to a wide-temperature-survivable COTS component packaging design. Details of thermal cycle testing, in-process inspections, and final packaging design will be presented.

The International Space Station Lightning Imaging Sensor (ISS LIS): An Overview of More Than Five Years of Science and Operations, With a Look Toward the Future of Spaceborne Lightning Observations

- ISS LIS is the flight spare of the original Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) LIS, which was kept in storage since the 1990s. - Modified and then integrated as a hosted payload on DoD Space Test Program-Houston 5 (STP-H5). Launched on SpaceX CRS-10 on February 19, 2017. - LIS measures global lightning (amount, rate, radiant energy) during day and night, with storm-scale resolution, millisecond timing, and high, spatially uniform detection efficiency.
