ICX229AL
Diagonal 4.5mm (Type 1/4) CCD Image Sensor for CCIR B/W Video Cameras
Description
The ICX229AL is an interline CCD solid-state
image sensor suitable for CCIR B/W video cameras.
Compared with the current product ICX209AL, smear
charactristics are improved drastically and power
consumption is reduced. High sensitivity and high
saturation signal are achieved by Super HAD CCD
technology.
This chip features a field period readout system and
an electronic shutter with variable charge-storage time.
The package is a 10mm-square 14-pin DIP (Plastic).
