  3. Eddicam • CCD baseline characteristics • Format: 740 x 2900 pixels • Pixel size: 27 x 27 µm2 • Chip size: 20 x 80 mm2 • Full well capacity: 1.6 Me- • Minimum line readout time: 13 µs • Frame transfer time: 20 ms • Readout noise: 10 - 15 e- at 0.5 MHz • Operational temperature: -80 / -100 C . Vienna, September 17th, 2001 T.Muñoz/C.Laviada (INTA)

  4. Eddicam Frame transfer covers Filters Planet finding CCD layout Asteroseismology layout . Vienna, September 17th, 2001 T.Muñoz/C.Laviada (INTA)

  5. Eddicam • CCD array preliminary design • 16 + 4 CCDs covering the full FOV • CCDs working in frame transfer mode for asteroseismology (short integrations on bright stars) • CCDs working in full frame mode for planet finding(long integrations on weaker stars) . Vienna, September 17th, 2001 T.Muñoz/C.Laviada (INTA)

  6. Eddicam • CCD mosaic proposed by Marconi: • 20 CCDs on individual INVAR packages • Each CCD individually mounted on a large INVAR baseplate • All CCDs within ±10 µm from the baseplate: no individual focussing required • Flatness variation < 3 µm from +20 to -100 C • Butting gap around 500 µm .

  14. Eddicam • CCD Support Assembly Hot Points: • Required flatness of the mosaic plane • Required alignment between CCD´s • Maximum butting gap (design based on three side buttable CCD) • Thermal stability control ( 0.1K/h): • -Completely passive (by mean of thermal equilibrium and thermal inertia) • -Thermally controlled by mean of sensors/heaters • Flexible thermal links: • Copper/Aluminium straps • Carbon Fibre straps(?) • Micro heat pipes • Thermal Switches for the baking mode(?): • CCD Mosaic cooling path disconnection could be required . Vienna, September 17th, 2001 T.Muñoz/C.Laviada (INTA)

  15. Eddicam • CCD Mask Assy Missions: • Change between planet finding and asteroseismology operational modes • CCD Mask Assy Hot Points: • Single or Multiple actuation: • driver for actuator concept • Mask-CCD´s gap: • potential straylight source • baking mode • If lubrication required: • cleanliness control problem .
