Read-out noise estimation (worst case).

Simulate read-out noise	Description	Value	Unit
Electronic gain		29.6	electron/ADU
Dark rate	30.6 ADU/sec ∗29.6 electron/ADU	906	electron/pixel/sec
Dark current noise	sqrt(dark rate ∗𝑡)
Read-out noise	Gain × std_dev(offset)/sqrt(2)
	29.6 * 3.27/1.414	69	electron/pixel (for 500 kHz rate)
SNR	Full well potential/read-out noise
	20∗ log10(1700000/69)	87.8	dB
