· Review of Scientific Instruments
We describe a precision preamplifier and analog-to-digital (AD) converter system for use with infrared focal plane arrays. The system uses a correlated double sampling integrated circuit which performs an analog subtraction of each full pixel level from its respective reset level prior to digitization by a 14-bit AD converter; this process is also known as ''delta-reset'' sampling. The system was designed to have good immunity to electrical noise interference and it has a measured dynamic range of better than 16384. A four channel version of this system is used to read out a 128x128 pixel Si:As array at a rate of 2.4 {mu}s/pixel for the Long Wavelength InfraRed Camera a 7--13 {mu}m camera designed and built for the Keck 10 meter telescope.
