Measurements of a frame-store pnCCD detector system, optimized for high-speed applications in the optical and near infrared (NIR) region, will be presented. The device with an image area of 13.5 mm, by 13.5 mm and a pixelsize of 51 mu m by 51 mu m exhibits a readout time faster than 1100 frames per second with an overall electronic noise contribution of less than three electrons. Variable operation modes of the detector system allow for even higher readout speeds by a pixel binning in transfer direction or, at slightly slower readout speeds, a further improvement in noise performance. We will also present the concept of a data acquisition system being able to handle pixel rates of more than 75 megapixel per second. The application of an anti-reflective coating on the ultra-thin entrance window of the back illuminated detector together with the large sensitive volume ensures a high and uniform detection efficiency from the ultra violet to the NIR.
