PARAMETER MEASUREMENT INFORMATION

DR (dynamic range)

+

camera white-clip voltage

Vn

Vn = noise-floor voltage

Vsat (min) = minimum saturation voltage

Vuse (max) = maximum usable voltage

Vuse (typ) = typical user voltage (camera white clip)

NOTES: A. Vuse(typ)isdefinedasthevoltagedeterminedtoequalthecamerawhiteclip.ThisvoltagemustbelessthanVuse(max).

B. A system trade-off is necessary to determine the system light sensitivity versus the signal/noise ratio. By lowering the

Vuse (typ),

the light sensitivity of the camera is increased; however, this sacrifices the signal/noise ratio of the camera.
