Teledyne Imaging, building on its unmatched heritage in CCD TDI designs, offers charge-domain CMOS TDI, combining the noiseless summation advantages of CCD structures with the massively parallel on-chip analog-to-digital conversion of CMOS. The result: devices with the sensitivity and dynamic range of CCD with the speed and throughput of CMOS...built with our decades of experience designing and delivering solutions for the harshest environments. ​​

Teledyne’s CMOS TDI platform benefits:

  • Small pixels
  • High line rates
  • On-chip functionality
  • Digital outputs
  • Cost-effective small satellite optical payloads.

The technology will support many emerging remote sensing applications such as land use mapping, urban infrastructure, agriculture, national resource management, disaster management, maritime, security and surveillance.
