Design of driving system for AUV low-light level camera
A design method for a low-light level camera driving system based on an autonomous underwater vehicle was proposed. First
the noises of an electron multiplying charge-coupled device camera was analyzed
and the principle and method of designing conventional driving circuits was proposed taking into consideration the relationship between dark current noise and clock-induced charge noise. Next
the issue of power consumption in totem-pole circuits applied to electron multiplying drivers was discussed
and a power optimization plan was presented. A high-precision system clock was used for fine adjustments of the driving signal phase and pulse width and solving the problem of amplitude overlap rate insufficiency. Finally
the low-light level camera structure and experimental results were presented. The experiments indicate that the system-generated conventional driving signal frequency is 10 MHz. The serial transfer clock amplitude overlap rate and parallel transfer clock amplitude overlap rate are better than 50% and 90%
respectively. The phase adjustment accuracy of the driving signal and pulse width adjustment accuracy are 18° and 5 ns
respectively. The driving signal is stable and smooth
the electron multiplying driving signal is highly adjustable
and the power consumption is lowered by 7.2%. The parameters of noise
size
and power consumption were considered in this design. Thus
it can be widely used in underwater low-light level imaging as well as conventional charge-coupled devices.
