Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2006108928A1] The present relates to a read-out arrangement for reading a CCD-sensor (1-1), said CCD-sensor (1-1) comprising a detector (1-2) which has an active area comprising pixels that receive charges; a read-out register (1-4) in functional connection with the aforesaid active area; means for transferring charges from the active area into the read-out register (1-4); means for transferring charges to the output (1-4a, 1-4b) of the read-out register (1-4); at least one read-out well (1-6, 1-8) functionally connected with the read-out register (1-4); and means for transferring charges from the output (1-4a, 1-4b) of read-out register (1-4) into at least one read-out well (1-6, 1-8). The invention is characterized in that the arrangement additionally comprises means for changing the dynamics by changing the binning of charges at least partly in response to a control signal.
