Description

The ICX205AL is a diagonal 8mm (Type 1/2)

interline CCD solid-state image sensor with a square

pixel array and 1.45M effective pixels. Progressive

scan

allows

all

pixels'

signals

to

be

output

independently within approximately 1/7.5 second.

Also, the adoption of high frame rate readout mode

supports 30 frames per second. This chip features

an electronic shutter with variable charge-storage

time which makes it possible to realize full-frame still

image without a mechanical shutter. High sensitivity

and low dark current are achieved through the

adoption of HAD (Hole-Accumulation Diode) sensors.

This chip is suitable for applications such as

electronic still cameras, PC input cameras, etc.

Features

• Progressive scan allows individual readout of the

image signals from all pixels.

• High horizontal and vertical resolution (both approx.

1024TV-lines) still image without a mechanical shutter.

• Supports high frame rate readout mode

(effective 256 lines output, 30 frame/s)

• Square pixel

• Horizontal drive frequency: 14.318MHz

• No voltage adjustments

(reset gate and substrate bias are not adjusted.)

• High resolution, high sensitivity, low dark current

• Low smear, excellent antiblooming characteristics

• Continuous variable-speed shutter
