ICX080AK
E95518D99
Diagonal 6mm (Type 1/3) CCD Image Sensor for NTSC Color Video Cameras
Description
The ICX080AK is an interline CCD solid-state
image sensor suitable for NTSC color video
cameras. This chip conforms to DV standard SD
mode, and has the optimal number of pixels for
MPEG2 Main level. While achieving a horizontal
resolution of 450 TV lines, the area has been
expanded 33% in both vertical and horizontal
directions, making the chip suitable for electronic
vibration stabilizer and electronic panning/tilting. In
addition, complete 16:9 wide aspect ratio images
are provided with a high picture quality without
requiring vertical interpolation.
High sensitivity and low dark current are achieved
through the adoption of Ye, Cy, Mg and G
complementary color mosaic filters and HAD (Hole-
Accumulation Diode) sensors.
This chip features a field period readout system
and an electronic shutter with variable charge-
storage time.
The package is a 16-pin DIP (Plastic), and both
top and bottom surface reference can be assured at
the same time.
