Scientific paper

For the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope (WHT) to be erected at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma, a conceptual prototype-integrated CCD controller has been developed. It has been demonstrated that preamplifier noise-limited system performance of 5 nV/sq rt Hz can be obtained with a compact low power controller that uses switched mode power supplies throughout. This performance has been realized by applying a differential preamplifier with balanced outputs between the CCD in the cryostat and the correlated double sampler in the controller, realizing over 100 dB common mode rejection.
