Sydor MM PAD
Mixed Mode Pixel Array Detector. Precision. Dynamic Range.
Built for hard and tender X-Ray direct imaging with ultra-wide dynamic range and photon level sensitivity. Capable of capturing low flux single photon events and intense beams without saturation. Ideal for beam diffraction, fusion diagnostics, materials science, and transient X-Ray applications.
Key Benefits
Ultra‑Wide Dynamic Range
Combines high full‑well capacity with low noise (~0.5 photons at 8 keV), enabling single‑photon as well as high flux detection.Fast Framing
Supports up to >1 kHz frame rate with minimum frame interval of 0.86 ms.High Spatial Resolution
150 μm pixel pitch across a 2×4 tiled module (512×512 effective resolution) for detailed beam or material imaging.Versatile Sensor Materials
Available in Si for 8–20 keV and CdTe for >20 keV, with thermoelectric cooling and Ethernet‑based control.Mixed-Mode Detector
In‑pixel digital overflow counter and charge removal provide seamless performance from single photons to high‑flux applications.Control Interface
Ethernet-based control with Sydor’s DataViewer software. EPICS IOC available for integration into existing software control environments.
Mission-Ready Configuration
Includes tiled MM-PAD module, thermoelectric cooling system, control electronics, and Sydor software suite for real-time imaging, control, and data acquisition. Fully compatible with EPICS environments. Optimized for synchrotron and high-energy lab conditions.
