Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have developed an analog-digital mixed ASIC using a fourth-order delta sigma ADC circuit. The unit performance test of the new ASIC was conducted after the dedicated print circuit board was manufactured. As a result, we achieved linear performance that surpassed the ASIC onboard the Hitomi satellite launched in 2016. As a result of measuring the radiation resistance, the upper limit value of the frequency of latch-up in the orbit with a height of 550 km and an inclination angle of 30 ° was determined once in 48 years (90% reliability). In fact, even if latch-up is performed, a mechanism is provided to turn the power on and off while preventing thermal destruction, so it can be said that the latch-up resistance of the CCD camera when using the ASIC developed in this research is not a problem.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究により、将来の天文衛星で使用される、各種X線イメージャのカメラをコンパクト化させる目途を付けることが出来た。コンパクト化させるだけではなく、高速低雑音信号処理することで、高性能のカメラを製作することが可能である。本研究期間内に実績を作ったのはイメージャのうちCCDであるが、ほぼ同じ回路で他のイメージャにも応用が可能であり、非常に汎用性の高い研究成果を得たといえる。
