Introduction
1.1 Camera Highlights
Features
8192 or 4096 resolution, 7 µm or 14 µm pixel pitch, 90% fill factor
High speed, up to 640 megapixels/ second throughput
Up to 110 kHz (14 µm x 14 µm) line rate
32 / 16 or 16/ 8 stages, independently selectable Time Delay and Integration (TDI)
imaging regions for enhanced user-controlled sensitivity
Broadband responsivity up to 780 DN (nJ/ cm2) @10 dB, 8-bit (ES-82)
4 or 8 taps, bidirectional TDI
100x anti-blooming
Programmability
Serial interface (ASCII, 9600 baud, adjustable to 19200, 57600, 115200), through
Cam era Link™.
Programmable gain, offset, frame and frame rates, trigger mode, test pattern output,
and camera diagnostics.
Mirroring and forward/ reverse control.
Selectable Area or TDI Mode of operation. Area Mode facilitates camera alignment
and focusing. Area mode can also be used for regular operation.
Selectable pixel size (binning).
Flat-field correction—minimizes lens vignetting, non-uniform lighting, and sensor
FPN and PRNU.
Selectable Base (ES-80-08k40 only), Medium, or Full Camera Link configuration,
depending on camera model.

Description
The Piranha Enhanced Sensitivity (ES) camera family represent Teledyne DALSA's latest
generation of superior sensitivity, TDI based cameras. The Piranha ES family maximizes
system throughput and provides the largest number of pixels available in a TDI camera.
All cameras are capable of bi-directionality and up to 16 or 32 stages of integration,
depending on the model.
Applications
The Piranha ES family is ideal for applications requiring high speed, superior image
quality, and high responsivity. Applications include:
Solar cell inspection
Postal sorting (flats)
Flat panel display inspection
Printed circuit board inspection
High performance document scanning
Large web inspection
Low-light applications
Models
The Piranha ES-xx cameras are available in these models.

1.3 Image Sensor
The camera uses our newest bidirectional TDI sensors. The camera can be configured to
read out in either Forward or Reverse CCD shift direction. The direction is controlled by
the software command scd.
