ICX080AK

E95518D99

Diagonal 6mm (Type 1/3) CCD Image Sensor for NTSC Color Video Cameras

Description

The ICX080AK is an interline CCD solid-state

image

sensor

suitable

for

NTSC

color

video

cameras. This chip conforms to DV standard SD

mode, and has the optimal number of pixels for

MPEG2 Main level. While achieving a horizontal

resolution of 450 TV lines, the area has been

expanded 33% in both vertical and horizontal

directions, making the chip suitable for electronic

vibration stabilizer and electronic panning/tilting. In

addition, complete 16:9 wide aspect ratio images

are provided with a high picture quality without

requiring vertical interpolation.

High sensitivity and low dark current are achieved

through the adoption of Ye, Cy, Mg and G

complementary color mosaic filters and HAD (Hole-

Accumulation Diode) sensors.

This chip features a field period readout system

and an electronic shutter with variable charge-

storage time.

The package is a 16-pin DIP (Plastic), and both

top and bottom surface reference can be assured at

the same time.
