Note: 1. Transients under 0.0V in the clock pulses will lead to charge injection, causing a localized increase in the dark signal if such
spurious negative transients are present, they can be suppressed by inserting a serial resistor of appropriate value (typically
20 to 100Ω) in the corresponding driver output.
