ICX204AL
Diagonal 6mm (Type 1/3) Progressive Scan CCD Image Sensor with Square Pixel for B/W Cameras
Description
16 pin DIP (Plastic)
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.
