Diagonal 4.5mm (Type 1/4) CCD Image Sensor for EIA B/W Video Cameras

Description

The ICX206AL is an interline CCD solid-state image

sensor suitable for EIA B/W video cameras. Compared

with the current product ICX086AL, sensitivity and

saturation signal are improved drastically through the

adoption of 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).

Features

• High sensitivity (+4dB compared with ICX086AL)

• High saturation signal

(+2.2dB compared with ICX086AL)

• Horizontal register:

3.3 to 5.0V drive

• Reset gate:

3.3 to 5.0V drive

• No voltage adjustment

(Reset gate and substrate bias are not adjusted.)

• Low smear and low dark current

• Excellent antiblooming characteristics

• Continuous variable-speed shutter

• Recommended range of exit pupil distance: –20 to –100mm
