ICX259AK
Diagonal 6mm (Type 1/3) CCD Image Sensor for PAL Color Video Cameras
Description
The ICX259AK is an interline CCD solid-state
image sensor suitable for PAL color video cameras
with a diagonal 6mm (Type 1/3) system. Compared
with the current product ICX059CK, basic
characteristics such as sensitivity, smear, dynamic
range and S/N are improved drastically through the
adoption of EXview HAD CCD
TM
technology.
This chip features a field period readout system and
an electronic shutter with variable charge-storage
time.
EXview HAD CCD
TM
has different spectral characteristics
from the current CCD.
Features
•
High sensitivity (+7dB compared with the ICX059CK)
•
Low smear (–20dB compared with the ICX059CK)
•
High D range (+5dB compared with the ICX059CK)
•
High S/N
•
High resolution and low dark current
•
Excellent antiblooming characteristics
•
Ye, Cy, Mg, and G complementary color mosaic filters on chip
•
Continuous variable-speed shutter
•
No voltage adjustment
(Reset gate and substrate bias are not adjusted.)
•
Reset gate:
5V drive
•
Horizontal register: 5V drive
