Low noise digital CCD readoutDuring a semester long Clinic project funded by the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO), I helped our team to develop, design, prototype, and debug a digital readout board for an astronomical CCD sensor. Our project goal was to use oversampling and digital filtering with a high resolution ADC and FPGA to provide improved CCD readout performance over traditional purely analog methods. We made significant progress which resulted in continued funding of the project for another group of students in the following year.
