For both experiments, a reduction of the CCD read-out noise is vital. In this work we present a method to measure the read-out noise coming from electronic and non-electronic sources. The impact of the external electronics on the noise is discussed and its full characterization is presented.","PeriodicalId":108317,"journal":{"name":"2016 Argentine Conference of Micro-Nanoelectronics, Technology and Applications (CAMTA)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116755319","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
