ICX279AL
Diagonal 4.5mm (Type 1/4) CCD Image Sensor for CCIR B/W Video Cameras
Description
14 pin DIP (Plastic)
The ICX279AL is an interline CCD solid-state
image sensor suitable for CCIR B/W video cameras
with a diagonal 4.5mm (Type 1/4) system. Compared
with the current product ICX209AL, basic
characteristics such as sensitivity, smear and
dynamic range are improved drastically from visible
light region to near infrared light region through the
adoption of EXview HAD CCDTM technology.
This chip features a field period readout system and
an electronic shutter with variable charge-storage time.
The package is a 10mm-square 14-pin DIP (Plastic).
