ICX408AL

Diagonal 6mm (Type 1/3) CCD Image Sensor for EIA B/W Video Cameras

Description

The ICX408AL is an interline CCD solid-state

image sensor suitable for EIA B/W video cameras

with a diagonal 6mm (Type 1/3) system. Compared

with the conventional product ICX058CL, basic

characteristics such as sensitivity, smear, dynamic

range and S/N are improved drastically.

This chip features a field period readout system and

an electronic shutter with variable charge-storage

time.

This chip is suitable for applications such as surveillance

cameras, automotive cameras, etc.

Features

• High sensitivity (+5dB compared with the ICX058CL)

• Low smear (–15dB compared with the ICX058CL)

• High D range (+4dB compared with the ICX058CL)

• High S/N

• High resolution and low dark current

• Excellent antiblooming characteristics

• Continuous variable-speed shutter

• No voltage adjustment

(Reset gate and substrate bias are not adjusted.)

• Reset gate:

5V drive

• Horizontal register: 5V drive
