LRIS
Red CCD Characteristics

Note: This is for a previous generation detector on LRIS, not the current detector.

In June 2004 the clock driver board failed. Some capacitors and the ADC were replaced.

In the period 2002-May-9 to 2003-July-28 the detector electronics was not working properly and, as a result, strong blooming was generated by pixels at the ~34,000 ADUs level or higher.
