ICX098AK
Diagonal 4.5mm (Type 1/4) Progressive Scan CCD Image Sensor with Square Pixel for Color Cameras
Description
The ICX098AK is a diagonal 4.5mm (Type 1/4)
interline CCD solid-state image sensor with a square
pixel array which supports VGA format. Progressive
scan allows all pixels signals to be output
independently within approximately 1/30 second.
Also, the adoption of monitoring mode allows output
to an NTSC monitor without passing through the
memory. 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 resolution and high color reproductivity
are achieved through the use of R, G, B primary color
mosaic filters. Further, high sensitivity and low dark
current are achieved through the adoption of HAD
(Hole-Accumulation Diode) sensors.
14 pin DIP (Plastic)
This chip is suitable for applications such as electronic
still cameras, PC input cameras, etc.
