Description

The ICX204AL is a diagonal 6mm (Type 1/3)

interline CCD solid-state image sensor with a square

pixel array and 800K effective pixels. Progressive

scan

allows

all

pixels'

signals

to

be

output

independently. Also, the adoption of high frame rate

readout mode supports 60 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. Further, 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 FA

cameras, two-dimensional bar-code reader, etc.

Features

• Progressive scan allows individual readout of the

image signals from all pixels.

• High horizontal and vertical resolution (both approx.

768TV-lines) still image without a mechanical shutter.

• Supports high frame rate readout mode

(effective 256 lines output, 15MHz drive: 45 frame/s,

20MHz drive: 60 frame/s)

• Square pixel

• Horizontal drive frequency: Typ.: 15MHz, Max.: 20MHz

• 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

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