The cosmic unresolved background instrument using CCDs (CUBIC) is currently scheduled for launch on the Argentine/US SAC-B satellite late this year. This instrument is designed to perform moderate resolution nondispersive x-ray spectroscopy of the diffuse x-ray background over the band 0.2 - 10.0 keV using state-of-the-art photon-counting CCDs. The instrument is optimized for spectroscopy of diffuse emission with a field of view of 5 degrees by 5 degrees below 1 keV and 10 degrees by 10 degrees above 3 keV. Observations will typically last 1 - 3 days, and will obtain high quality CCD spectra of the diffuse background, nearby superbubbles and supernova remnants, and the brightest x-ray point sources. This paper gives an overview of the instrument design and CCD detectors.
