The main units of the AIC are : the focal plane assembly(FPA), equipped with a back-thinned illuminated CCD matrix and a front-end amplifier, provides the optical signal detection. A thermoelectric peltier cooler under the detector sets the operating point at-25°C ± 100 mK, the detection box(BD) which supplies the FPA with the necessary electrical signals to operate the CCD. It generates the clock waveforms from the VEU signals and filters the supplied voltage from the DSU, the video electronics unit(VEU) which processes the analog signal coming from the FPA, digitizes it on 12 bits before passing it on in serial processing to the science data processing subsystem(SDPSS). It also provides the DBs with the primary clock signal. The power conditioning of the VEU is located in the same unit, the detection supply unit(DSU) delivers relevant stabilized voltages to the 5 DUs and power to thermo-coolers from the main supply feeder of the instrument. 2, record 3, English, - analog%20imaging%20chain

From biology to silicon : An analog bio-inspired retina for an adaptive vision smart sensor. An image processing systems, the vision sensor is a phototransduction component. Its aim is to convert incident light into an electrical signal. Today, the development in microelectronic technology allows to integrate few transistors around the photosensitive element. This is the basic structure of the smart vision sensor which includes phototransduction and image processing in the focal plane array. 1, record 4, English, - bio%2Dinspired
